Glossary

automatically assigns IP addresses to the connected equipment. If a device with the DHCP server function is present within a LAN, it automatically assigns IP addresses to the connected equipment.| 6
IP address| Internet Protocol (IP) is a protocol for distributing data, and the address corresponding to the data distribution destination is called the IP address. The same IP address cannot be used within the same LAN| 6
Sub netmask| This limits the range of the IP addresses assigned to computers in order to divide the network into a number of sections during TCP/IP connection. The value used to divide the network at this time is called the sub netmask| 6
Default Gateway| The devices that are used for different network standards from yours. Default Gateway enables a connection with other network, by adjusting bilateral differences such as communication protocols. If no gateway is specified for the IP address of access destination, data will be sent to the host set as the default gateway| 6
MAC address| Each network adapter has its own ID No. A discrete ID No. is assigned to each and every network adapter around the world. These IDs are used to exchange data between adapters. These IDs are a combination of a discrete number managed and assigned by the IEEE to each individual manufacturer and a unique number assigned to each individual adapter by the manufacturer.| 8
