Item Descriptions

DHCP Abbreviation for Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol. This function

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

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 specied for the

IP address of access destination, data will be sent to the host set as the default
gateway.

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.

LAN Abbreviation for Local Area Network. This is a network with a relatively narrow

range such as inside a company.

Subnet 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 subnetmask.
