Network Name: The name by which the printer identifies itself on the network (also known as the printer's "friendly name"). The printer's Network Name is item 1 on the network configuration page. Use the Network Name to open the printer's internal web page (Windows only). Packet: A message sent from one device on a network to other devices on the network. Protocol: A "language" that devices on a network use to communicate with each other. A popular network protocol is TCP/IP. RJ-45: The type of plug at the end of an ethernet cable. Router: A complex internetworking device that directs packets from one network to another network. A router can act as a gateway between a LAN and the Internet. Static IP address: An IP address that is manually assigned to a device on a network. A static IP address remains fixed until changed manually. Alternative methods for assigning IP address are DHCP and AutoIP. Subnet: A "small network" that acts as part of a large network. It is recommended that the printer and the computers that use it all be on the same subnet. Subnet mask: A number that identifies what subnet an IP address belongs to. TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol): The network communication protocol used on the Internet. The printer's built-in ethernet feature supports LANs that use TCP/IP. Unicast packet: A packet sent from one device on a network to another device on the network. 184
