Bad record mac SSL Key exchange failed. Turn the power OFF and then ON to restart the equipment. Certificate expired The certificate has been expired.
2. Appendix Glossary Ad Hoc System to communicate directly between each wireless device without an Access Posint. AP (Access Point) Access points serve as the bridge between wired networks and wireless networks, as well as providing bridge functions between segments and IP tunnel functions indispensable to the building of versatile, large-scale networks. Bridge A device for relaying between LAN's.
2. Appendix Roaming This term has the same meaning as roaming for a portable phone or PHS. The AP is in the role commonly called the “antenna/base station” for the phone or PHS, and the user unit is in the role of the phone itself. Router A device for relaying between LAN's. The router determines data addresses by the combination of a network address assigned to the network and an individual computer address.
