  * **AppEUI**: is a global application ID that addresses space and uniquely identifies the application provider (owner) of the end-device.
  * **AppKey**: an AES-128 application key specific for the end-device that is assigned by the application owner. The AppKey is used to derive the session keys NwkSKey and AppSKey specific for that end-device to encrypt and verify network communication and application data.
  * **AppSKey**: is used by both the network server and the end-device to encrypt and decrypt the payload field of application-specific data messages
  * **WMC**: Kerlink Wanesy Management Center 

===== WLAN Network =====
