Glossary

Access Point (AP)

A networking hardware device that allows other Wi-Fi devices to connect to a wired network.

Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)

A system that converts an analog signal, such as a sound picked up by a microphone or light entering

a digital camera, into a digital signal.

Application Programming Interface (API)

A language and message format used by an application program to communicate with an operating

system, application, or other service.

Basic Service Set (BSS)

A subgroup of devices in a service set that share physical-layer medium access characteristics such

that they are wirelessly networked.

Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID)

A unique address that identifies the access point/router that creates the wireless network.

Carrier Wave (CW)

A single-frequency electromagnetic wave that can be modulated in amplitude, frequency, or phase

to convey information.

Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC)

A system that converts a digital signal into an analog signal.

Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM)

A Traffic Indication Message (TIM) that informs clients about the presence of buffered multicast/

broadcast data on the access point.

Extensible Authentication Plan (EAP)

An authentication framework frequently used in network and internet connections. It provides the

transport and usage of material and parameters generated by EAP methods.

Factory Information Configuration Registers (FICR)

Pre-programmed registers that contain chip-specific information and configuration. FICRs cannot be

erased by users.

General-Purpose Input/Output (GPIO)

A digital signal pin that can be used as input, output, or both. It is uncommitted and can be

controlled by the user at runtime.

Group Temporal Key (GTK)

A key used to decrypt multicast and broadcast traffic

Internet of Things (IoT)
