algorithm.
Shared key authentication
is an algorithm where both the AP and
the MU share an
authentication key
to perform a
checksum
on the original
message. By default, IEEE 802.11 devices operate in
an open system network
where any wireless device can associate with an AP without authorization.
A wireless device with a valid shared key is allowed to associate with the AP.
Authentication management messages
(packets) are unicast, meaning
authentication messages transmit from one AP to one MU only, not
broadcast or multicast.
1.3.10 HTTP, HTML Web Server Support
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the native language of the Web.
The HTTP protocol makes requests from browsers (the user) to servers and
responses from servers to browsers. This function provides the user with a
Web-based format for configuration and firmware download.
Web pages are written in HTML (Hypertext Markup Language.) HTML allows
the user to create web pages containing text, graphics and pointers or links
to other web pages or elsewhere on the page or document. Pointers are
known as Uniform Resource Locators (URLs). A URL is essentially the name
of the web page. The URL consists of three parts:
•
the protocol (a scheme)
•
the DNS (Domain Name Server) the machine where the page is located
•
the local name that identifies the page (usually the file name).
The HTML language describes how to format the document, much like a
copyeditor describes which fonts to use, such as the location, color, header
size and text.
