DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) The protocol that distributes parameters, such as an IP address, to a network client.
IP addresses are managed collectively at a DHCP sever, and network clients request to dis-
tribute IP addresses when they start up.
Duplication of IP addresses is avoided by managing IP addresses collectively, and construc-
tion of a network can be performed easily.
Dialing A telephone or facsimile number can be dialed via one of the following methods: 10-key Pad
dialing, One-touch keys, and Program keys.
DNS
(Domain Name System) A distributed database system to manage IP addresses and domain names of a TCP/IP net-
work, etc.
When connecting to a WWW (World Wide Web) server by a WWW browser, an IP address
must be used such as "10.1.99.28". A display with numbers is difficult to remember and easy
to make mistakes. To avoid this, DNS assigns a name (domain name) such as
"pcol.sales.example.com" to an IP address. This allows you to obtain the IP address from the
domain name and vise versa.
To manage DNS, a DNS server must be installed for each organization.
Domain name A name that is applied to the organization that joins a network such as Internet, according to
certain rules. The computers in the organization are assigned host names corresponding to
the IP address. For example, "nec.com" is the domain name in the URL
"http://www.nec.com/".

machines that support F-Code protocol.
G3 Communications Communications that conforms to the G3 standard (International Standards for Facsimile
