Glossary
ASCII
American Standard Code for Information Interchange. The standard for
numbers used by computers to represent all the uppercase and lowercase
Latin letters, numbers, punctuation, etc.
autoIP
A feature of the installation software, which determines the configuration
parameters of devices on the network.
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A server on the network that
supplies configuration parameters to devices on the network. On small
networks, this could be a router.
DNS
Domain Name Service. When you use the web or send an e-mail
message, you use a domain name to do it. For example, the URL http://
www.hp.com contains the domain name hp.com. The DNS on the
Internet translates the domain name into an IP address. Devices use the
IP addresses to refer to one another.
DNS-SD
See DNS. The SD portion stands for Service Discovery. This is part of a
protocol developed by Apple that enables automatic discovery of
computers, devices, and services on IP networks.
DSL
Digital Subscriber Line. A high-speed connection to the Internet.
Ethernet
The most common local network technology that connects computers
using copper cabling.
Ethernet cable
The cable used to connect network elements in a wired network. The
CAT-5 Ethernet cable is also known as a straight-through cable. When
using an Ethernet cable, the network elements must be attached to a
router. The Ethernet cable uses an RJ-45 connector.
EWS
Embedded Web Server. A browser-based utility that provides a simple
way to manage your HP all-in-one. You can monitor status, configure
HP all-in-one networking parameters, or access HP all-in-one features.

.
HEX
Hexidecimal. The base 16 numbering system, which uses the digits 0-9
plus the letters A-F.
hub
No longer used much in modern home networks, a hub takes its signal
from each computer and sends it to all of the other computers connected
to the hub. Hubs, are passive; other devices on the network plug into the
hub in order to communicate with one another. A hub does not manage
the network.
IP address
A number that uniquely identifies the device on the network. IP addresses
are assigned dynamically through DHCP or AutoIP. You can also set up a
static IP address, though this is not recommended.
infrastructure
An infrastructure network uses a router, switch, or access point to
connect network elements.
