modified. These applications are persistent.
RAS (remote access server) A feature that connects a device to a host computer. Windows CE can connect to a remote access server using USB

differentiates one WLAN from another; so all access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN
must use the same SSID. Devices must provide a unique SSID. Because an SSID can be sniffed in plain text from a
packet it does not supply any security to the network.
