Across
- 2. signals are focused in a single direction, which makes them ideal for placement at one end of long, narrow spaces or to cover distances between buildings
- 3. the path data travels between computers on a network is considered the network’s
- 11. sometimes called “peer-to-peer mode,” is a wireless mode of operation typically used only in small or temporary installations
- 13. uses the token-passing media access method and dual rings for redundancy
- 16. The extra 5 MB comes in the form of packet and frame headers, acknowledgments, and retransmissions, collectively known as
- 17. which allows 802.11ac APs to send data to multiple client stations simultaneously
- 19. In most towns, you can usually find a public Wi-Fi network, called a
- 20. which is essentially the throughput minus the protocol headers that don’t contain application data.
Down
- 1. So, although there’s no escaping noise on a Wi-Fi network, what’s important is the amount of noise compared with the signal strength, which is called the
- 4. Ethernet standard works over Cat5e and Cat6 cabling
- 5. Ethernet, released as the IEEE 802.3ab standard, supports 1000 Mbps Ethernet
- 6. operates only in full-duplex mode, so there is no such thing as a 10 Gbps hub
- 7. Wi-Fi signals can pass through solid objects, such as walls and trees, but they don’t get through unscathed. Solid objects absorb radio signals, causing them to
- 8. (often called simply “100BaseT”)
- 9. the signals radiate out from the antenna with equal strength in all directions.
- 10. The 1997 802.11 wireless networking standard, also referred to as
- 12. Wi-Fi networks can operate in one of two modes: infrastructure and ad hoc. Most Wi-Fi networks operate in
- 14. The actual amount of data transferred, not counting errors and acknowledgments, is called
- 15. network technology provides reliable transport of data, although it’s slow by current standards.
- 18. Signals arriving at different times (referred to as “out of phase”) are called
