HP Deskjet 6800 series printer User's Guide mDNS: As an alternative to a Domain Name Server, a device issues a Multicast Domain Name Server (mDNS) notification to provide information regarding its service. The notification includes the type of service (such as printing), the name of the service (such as "your printer"), IP and port addresses, and other necessary information. Each device on the network receives the notification and stores the information in a personal DNS server. n Network name: A network name is an alphanumeric, case-sensitive character string that provides basic access control to a wireless network. A network name is also known as a "Service Set Identifier (SSID)." p 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. r RJ-45: The type of plug at the end of an Ethernet cable. Router: A complex networking device that directs packets from one network to another network. A router can act as a gateway between a LAN and the Internet. s 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 the printer all be on the same subnet. Subnet mask: A number that identifies the IP addresses that belong to a subnet. Switch: A network device that manages network traffic in order to minimize collisions and maximize speed. t TCP/IP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the network communication protocol used on the Internet. The printer's built-in networking feature supports LANs that use TCP/IP. TKIP: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) is an encryption method used in WPA. 46
