MAC address

Abbreviation for Media Access Control address. It is an identification name assigned to all network devices. Each device has its own address and there are no duplicate addresses. A MAC address may be necessary when identifying the unit separately from other devices (such as a DLNA server).
Abbreviation for Service Set IDentifier. It is a name that identifies a particular access point within an IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN. To connect with an access point, a client device must be set with the same SSID. SSIDs can be up to 32 characters long. For higher security, a network key is normally also used. In this case, connection cannot occur unless the SSID matches the network key.
One of the fundamental units used to express digitized data in computers. Digitized data is commonly expressed in binary digits (zeros and ones). A single unit of data is one bit. One byte consists of eight bits.
Abbreviation for MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3. It is a standard for audio file compression determined by the MPEG (Motion Picture Experts Group), an ISO (International Organization for Standardization) working group. It enables compression of audio files to about 1/10 of the data size of a standard compact disc. Since the MP3 encoding algorithm is disclosed, there are various encoders/decoders that are compliant with this standard. The MP3 standard is therefore widely used in the computer field.
Abbreviation for Digital Living Network Alliance. The DLNA is a nonprofit organization that establishes design guidelines for digital content shared over networks. For details, see: http://www.dlna.org/home/
Abbreviation for Wired Equivalent Privacy. An encryption key used in wireless LAN networks. As an IEEE standard based on the RC4 algorithm cryptography, WEP is used to secure IEEE 802.11b wireless networks. During the transmission of a message between a wireless LAN access point and a client device, the sending side encrypts the data and the receiving side decrypts it. For communication to occur, both devices must use a common code key, which is called the WEP key. The encryption level is indicated by the bit count of the key; e.g. 64 bits or 128 bits. The higher the bit count, the higher the security level.
Abbreviation for Domain Name System. A server that translates domain names to IP addresses, or IP addresses to domain names. A DNS is identified by an IP address. Also called a DNS server.
