Host name
This is the name that will be returned, along with the IP address in response to the UDP broad-
cast query for projectors/touch panels.
DNS server
Computers, Projectors, Touch panels connected to a network are referenced by their IP ad-
dress. The only problem is that remembering IP addresses is not easy. If you need to use
hundreds of addresses then it will become impossible to remember them. This is why domain
names are created. Internet names (domain and host names) are just aliases to these IP ad-
dresses. When you use an Internet address it is automatically translated to an IP address. In
fact a program or device that translates those Internet names to IP addresses is called a DNS
Server.
