Devices Used to Congure Ethernet Connections
Appendix
e following is a list of the devices shown in the gure above.
(a) Modem
(b) Router
(c) Hub
(d) Ethernet Cable
(e) Network Interface
(f) Printer
(g) Computer
e following explains the functions of the devices.
(a) Modem or Optical
Network Unit
Connects home or oce networks to an external network (Internet) with a line through a
computer or router. The computer or router cannot receive signals themselves without
converting the information.
There are two types of devices used to convert information depending on the signal.
❏ Modem: Converts an analog signal sent from an analog line such as a telephone line
into a digital signal, or vice versa.
❏ Optical Network Unit: Converts an optical signal into electrical signal, or vice versa and is
installed on the user's side of the network.
(b) Router The router is the doorway to the network. They act as a relay point between devices and
external signals. If the router is able to connect to the Internet, devices connected to the
router are also able to connect to the Internet.
Since the router is the doorway to the network, each router can be dened as an individual
unit of the network. This individual unit is known as a "Segment".
(c) Hub Routers cannot connect directly to a large number of devices. You can use a hub and
Ethernet cable (d) to connect several devices such as printers and computers to the router.
Some products are a combination of a hub and router.
75
Page 76
Network Guide
Appendix
(d) Ethernet Cable An Ethernet cable is used to connect a hub and devices like Network Interface devices.
You can use UTP (Unshielded Twist Pair) and STP (Shielded Twist Pair) Ethernet cables for
noise suppression as well as dierent types of Ethernet cables for dierent transfer rates.
Select which Ethernet cable is most suitable for your environment.
(e) Network Interface The Network Interface is a system that can control the network. This is implemented in the
printer (f). It can be implemented in a computer or you can add this system by inserting a
network interface card or using an adapter. The Ethernet cable should be inserted into the
LAN port of the Network Interface enabled computer or device.
A unique ID is given to every network interface. This is known as a MAC address. The Mac
address consists of a 12 digit hexadecimal number. The rst half of the ID number is given
to a Network Interface sales company from an institution that manages MAC addresses,
and the rest is used by the Network Interface sales company to create unique address and
make sure there is no overlap.
Glossary
❏ IP address
When sending signals through a hub, an IP address is necessary to distinguish which device is which to deliver
the signals. As an address is essential when sending letters by post, an IP address is essential for network
communication to receive signals. IP is an abbreviation of Internet Protocol. e IP address is a combination of
the network address to which a computer or device is connected to and the host address itself.
❏ Assigning IP Address
IP addresses cannot overlap, so a unique IP address is assigned in the network to which the device belongs.
IP addresses are divided into two groups; Global IP addresses and Private IP addresses. To connect to the
Internet, you need a global IP address.
are managed by global institutions and provided to Internet
ese
providers. e provider assigns the IP address to the contractor's devices.
When using a network in a local area such as a home or oce, a private IP address that is only available in the
closed network is assigned to each device. e device playing the role of a doorway to the network has a global
IP address and it converts the private IP address and global IP address to give access to the Internet for devices
that only have a private IP address.
Devices playing the role of a doorway to the network have a function called DHCP and this assigns the IP
address to devices dynamically, or a provider or network administrator assigns a static IP address manually. If a
device has an IP address which is dynamically assigned, it may be changed when connection fails or reconnects.
If this is inconvenient, you can get a static IP address from a provider or network administrator.
❏ Default Gateway
A device which converts data to alternately communicate with an external network such as the Internet is called
a Gateway. A router acts as a gateway when connecting to the Internet from a home or oce network using
Ethernet or Wi-Fi. e router's IP address is known as the Default Gateway.
❏ Subnet Mask
e subnet mask is a numerical value which distinguishes between the network address and the host address of
the IP address. You can
the breakpoint of network address and host address by masking the IP address with
nd
the subnet mask.
❏ Ethernet Communication Standard
Ethernet has standards such as 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-T based on the transfer rate,
transmission medium, transmission mode and so on. Each standard has a communication mode that must
match the hub and device's communication mode to be used.
Networks Without Cables (Wi-Fi)
Wi-Fi uses radio waves instead of an Ethernet cable and communicates through access points.
76
Page 77
Network Guide
Devices Used to Congure Wi-Fi Connections
Appendix
Wi-Fi uses radio waves to communicate with the network, whereas Ethernet uses cables. e following highlights
the specic dierences from Ethernet connections.
❏ It has access points.
It is equivalent to a hub on an Ethernet connection.
❏ It has an SSID.
Name of the network.
❏ It has a security feature to prevent unauthorized access.
It has a feature to prevent unauthorized access.
Glossary
Glossary of words related to Wi-Fi
❏ Access Point
An access point is a radio wave relay point that connects each device on the network. It also allows access to
other networks such as Ethernet networks.
❏ SSID
Unlike an Ethernet network, Wi-Fi uses radio waves to connect to other devices. It is therefore possible to
accidentally connect to unintended devices. To prevent devices from connecting to unknown networks, you
need to specify which network to connect to. SSID (Service Set Identier) is used to specify a network. If the
SSID does not match, a connection will not be established. Normally, devices or computers search for the SSID
set on the access point and establish a connection.
❏ Password
is is used to enter a security encrypted network. It is also known as a Pass phrase or Encrypted Key. You can
select a variety of encryption schemes, such as WEP and WPA, to encrypt your security.
77
Page 78
Network Guide
Appendix
❏ Stealth SSID
An access point sends out SSID signals at regular intervals that can be searched from network devices. Stealth
SSID does not send out any signals so that it cannot be found in the radio wave signal. If you want to connect to
an access point that uses stealth SSID, you need to enter the SSID manually into your device.
❏ MAC Address Filtering
MAC address ltering is a feature that only allows you to connect to devices for which the MAC address has
been registered in advance. If the device is not registered in advance, a connection will not be established even if
the password is correct.
❏ Wi-Fi Standard
e following are the current Wi-Fi standards. ey each have a dierent communication method, frequency
band, and transmission rate. IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11g, IEEE802.11n, IEEE802.11ac, and so on.
Each device must be using the same standard to connect by Wi-Fi.
2.4 or 5 GHz is used as the frequency band for Wi-Fi communication. e frequency band has a frequency
width to enable data transmission and is known as a "channel". Each device has to use the same channel of the
frequency band. e printer uses the 2.4 GHz frequency. Bluetooth, microwave, and medical equipment also
use the 2.4 GHz frequency, and sometimes they may interfere with the radio waves if they are too close. In this
situation it may help to change the channel being used.
❏ Multi SSID
When you have several dierent Wi-Fi standards and securities, you can have SSIDs for each situation. is is
known as Multi SSID. Each SSID is recognized as a dierent network. Even if devices are connected to the same
access point, you cannot communicate with them if the SSID is dierent. e printer and your devices have to
be on the same SSID network.
Networks Without a Relay Point (Wi-Fi Direct/Ad Hoc)
You can connect directly to devices that do not use any relay points, such as hubs and access points.
❏ Wi - Fi D ir e c t
Wi-Fi Direct allows you to connect two devices without using an access point. is is a radio communication
standard certied by the Wi-Fi Alliance. By having one of the devices act as an access point in the application,
you can connect directly to another device. Since this uses the same conguration as a Wi-Fi connection, you
can use the same security method.
❏ Simple AP Mode
In Simple AP mode, the printer acts as an access point. Enter the password into the printer's network (SSID)
from a device to connect it to the same network. You can use the network continuously once it has been set
up.
❏ Wi -Fi D i r ec t Mo de
In Wi-Fi Direct mode, you can connect Wi-Fi Direct devices using a one-to-one connection. Either the
printer or device acts as an access point. Even though you do not have to enter a password, you need to
manually re-establish the connection each time it is disconnected.
❏ Wi - Fi A d Ho c Mo de
In Wi-Fi Ad Hoc mode, you can connect devices through a radio wave directly without using an access point.
Unlike Wi-Fi Direct, there are no access points even in the application.
