Glossary
Ad-hoc: Devices in an ad-hoc wireless network communicate directly (“peer to peer”), without
a wireless access point.
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): An encryption standard developed for use by the American
government. AES has been praised for combining strong encryption with rapid processing.
Auto IP (APIPA—Automatic Private IP Addressing): Allows devices in a network to automatically
assign themselves unique IP addresses if no DHCP server is found on the network. Auto IP
uses addresses from 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255 and a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. These
addresses are neither global nor private but are reserved for Auto IP.
BSS-ID (Basic Service Set ID): All wireless devices on an ad-hoc wireless network share the same
BSS-ID. The BSS-ID may be up to thirty-two characters long and is case sensitive. See also
Ad-hoc.
Channel: When multiple wireless LANs with different ESS-IDs are operating on a single
frequency within a given area, transmission speeds will drop. Specifying a separate channel
(frequency) for each network can prevent interference and increase transmission speeds (note
that all devices in the same network must be set to the same channel). In the IEEE 802.11b/g
standard, the 2.4GHz band is divided into 14 channels, each separated by 4MHz.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server: Each device in a TCP/IP network requires
an IP address. If a DHCP server is present on the network, IP addresses will be assigned
automatically.
DNS (Domain Name Server): A server that contains a database of IP addresses and host names
for the machines it administers and that converts host names to IP addresses in response to
queries from clients. Each DNS can also query other Domain Name Servers for addresses not
listed in its database.
ESS-ID (Extended Service Set ID): Multiple BSSs can be configured to form an ESS, allowing users
to roam between wireless access points. Only devices with the same ESS-ID as a given access
point can communicate with that access point. The ESS-ID may be up to thirty-two characters
long and is case sensitive.
Ethernet: The name given to the IEEE 802.3 LAN standard. Devices in an Ethernet network are
connected via UTP cables for transmission speeds of up to 10Mbps (10 base-T) or 100Mbps
(100 base-TX).
Gateway: A network node that acts as an entrance to another network, for example between a
company network and the Internet.
IIS (Internet Information Services): Microsoft’s name for its Web server software. Notable for its
close connection to Windows-based systems through Active Server Pages (ASPs). When
installed as part of the operating system, IIS makes it relatively easy to build web a server.
52

Infrastructure: Devices in an infrastructure network communicate via wireless access points
that may be connected to an Ethernet network, allowing wireless and Ethernet devices to
coexist on a single network.
IP address: The address given to each node in a TCP/IP network. All nodes in a TCP/IP network
must have a unique IP address. Private IP addresses are recommended for nodes that are part
of a local network.
Key index: A number identifying which WEP key is to be used for encryption when
communicating via an access point with more than one WEP key. All devices on the network
must use the same key index.
LAN (Local Area Network): A network of computers located in relatively close proximity to one
another. LANs generally support data transfer speeds of 10–100Mbps.
MAC (Media Access Control) Address: A unique hardware address for each device on a network,
required when sending and receiving packets.
Open system: The name given to
a
wireless network using no authentication (open
authentication). Open systems are relatively insecure, as a password is not required to gain
access to the server.
PASV mode: PASV mode is used by clients behind firewalls, when it allows the ftp server to
supply the port number.
Private IP address: An IP address that is only visible within a local network. Because packets using
a private IP address can not be transmitted to another network, they are usually sent between
networks via a proxy server or NAT. Private IP addresses in the range 10.0.0.0–10.255.255.255
are termed “class A.” Class B addresses are in the range 172.16.0.0–172.31.255.255, class C
addresses in the range 192.168.0.0–192.168.255.255. The class of address used depends on
the size of the network. Class C addresses are often used for small networks.
Protocol: A set of rules for passing information back and forth between devices in a network.
By defining such elements of communication as how links are established, how receipt of a
signal is acknowledged, how data are encoded, and how to handle errors, a protocol ensures
that data are transmitted without loss of information.
Proxy: A server that stands between large networks and local networks or computers, typically
to ensure security. One element of a firewall.
PTP-IP (PictureTransfer Protocol over Internet Protocol): A commonly used name for the CIPA DC-005-
2005 image transfer protocol for transmitting images over LANs. It represents an extension to
the Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) used to transfer images between cameras and computers
connected via USB cable. The WT-3 uses PTP-IP to communicate with host computers.
Shared key: An authentication system in which WEP keys are used to establish whether a client
has access to the network. Communication is restricted to devices with the same WEP key.
53
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
SS-ID (Service Set ID): An SS-ID prevents interference between devices in different networks by
allowing communication only between devices that share an SS-ID. See BSS-ID, ESS-ID.
Subnet mask: A mask that divides a network into subnets.
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol): A dual protocol consisting of a transport-
layer protocol (TCP) that divides data into packets which it later reassembles, and a network
protocol (IP) that handles transmission of the packets between points in the network. It can
be implemented on different platforms, allowing data to be transmitted between machines
with different operating systems.
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol): An encryption standard using dynamic WPA-PSK keys that
change periodically or after a specified amount of data have been transmitted, making it
more secure that WEP, which uses fixed keys.
UDP (User Datagram Protocol): A fast but unreliable transport layer transmission protocol using
the OSI model.
USB (Universal Serial Bus): A standard for connecting peripheral devices. USB supports data
transfer rates of up to 480Mbps (USB 2.0). Devices connected via USB can be connected
and disconnected with the power on (“hot plug”) and do not require separate IRQ (interrupt
request) numbers, preventing conflicts with other devices.
WAN (Wide Area Network): A network connecting computers or LANs in widely separated
locations. The Internet is an example of a WAN.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy): A type of encryption in which the data transmitted between
devices is encoded using a shared encryption key (WEP key).
Wireless LAN access point: A wireless transceiver that acts as the connection between wireless
devices and a wireless network.
WPA-PSK (WiFi Protected Access with Pre-Shared Key): A type of authentication for wireless networks
using previously-established (pre-shared) TKIP or AES keys. Wireless devices using this form of
authentication can only communicate with devices with the same pre-shared key.

Battery Life
The number of shots that can be taken with a fully-charged EN-EL3e battery (1500mAh) varies
with the condition of the batteries, temperature, and how the camera and WT-3 are used.
The following measurements were performed at a temperature of 20°C (68°F) both with the
WT-3 off and while uploading photographs to a Windows XP Professional SP2 computer using
Auto send.
Example 1
Network None (WT-3 off) Wireless (802.11g, infrastructure mode) Ethernet (100 base-TX)
No. of shots
1600
1000
1100
Camera Zoom Nikkor AF-S VR 70–200mm f/2.8G IF ED lens (VR off); continuous high-
settings speed shooting mode; continuous-servo autofocus; image quality set to JPEG
Basic; image size set to M; shutter speed ½50 s; shutter-release pressed halfway for
three seconds and focus cycled from infinity to minimum range three times with
each shot; after six shots, monitor turned on for five seconds and then turned off;
cycle repeated after eight seconds.
Example 2
Network None (WT-3 off) Wireless (802.11g, infrastructure mode) Ethernet (100 base-TX)
No. of shots 300 200 210
Camera Zoom Nikkor AF-S VR 24–120mm f/3.5–5.6G IF ED lens (VR off); single-frame
settings shooting mode; single-servo autofocus; image quality set to JPEG Normal; image
size set to L; shutter speed ½50 s; shutter-release pressed halfway for five seconds
and focus cycled from infinity to minimum range once with each shot; built-in
Speedlight fired at full power with every other shot; AF-assist illuminator lights
when Speedlight is used; cycle repeated after eight seconds; camera turned off
for one minute after ten photographs have been transferred.
The following can reduce battery life:
• Using the monitor
• Repeated autofocus operations
• Keeping the shutter-release button pressed • Taking NEF (RAW) photographs
halfway
• Slow shutter speeds
To ensure maximum battery performance:
• Keep the battery contacts clean. Soiled contacts can reduce battery performance.
• Use EN-EL3e batteries immediately after charging. Batteries will lose their charge if left un-
used.
The battery level displayed by the camera may vary with changes in temperature.
