WINS Windows Internet Naming Service. A system that determines the IP
address associated with a particular network computer, called name
resolution. WINS supports network client and server computers
running Windows and can provide name resolution for other
computers with special arrangements. WINS supports dynamic
addressing (DHCP) by maintaining a distributed database that is
automatically updated with the names of computers currently
available and the IP address assigned to each one.
DNS is an alternative system for name resolution suitable for network
computers with fixed IP addresses.
WLAN Wireless Local Area Network.
WMM Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM), a Wi-Fi Alliance certified standard that
provides multimedia enhancements for Wi-Fi networks that improve
the user experience for audio, video, and voice applications. This
standard is complicant with the IEEE 802.11e Quality of Service (QoS)
extensions for 802.11 networks. WMM provides prioritized media
access by shortening the time between transmitting packets for higher
priority traffic. WMM is based on the Enhanced Distributed Channel
Access (EDCA) method.
WPA Wireless Protected Access, or Wi-Fi Protected Access is a security
solution adopted by the Wi-Fi Alliance that adds authentication to
WEP's basic encryption. For authentication, WPA specifies IEEE 802.1x
authentication with Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). For
encryption, WPA uses the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)
mechanism, which shares a starting key between devices, and then
changes their encryption key for every packet. Certificate
Authentication (CA) can also be used. Also part of the encryption
mechanism are 802.1X for dynamic key distribution and Message
Integrity Check (MIC) a.k.a. “Michael”.
WPA requires that all computers and devices have WPA software.
WPA-PSK Wi-Fi Protected Access with Pre-Shared Key, a special mode of WPA
for users without an enterprise authentication server. Instead, for
authentication, a Pre-Shared Key is used. The PSK is a shared secret
(passphrase) that must be entered in both the Altitude Access Point or
router and the WPA clients.
This preshared key should be a random sequence of characters at least
20 characters long or hexadecimal digits (numbers 0-9 and letters A-F)
at least 24 hexadecimal digits long. After the initial shared secret, the
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) handles the encryption and
automatic rekeying.
