Terminology
❖
This section introduces you to the terminology used here or displayed on the screen.
Broadband router:
A device for connecting to the Internet, mainly used in home networks.
It combines a DHCP function and a few Ethernet ports, which makes it possible to easily establish a
LAN.
Hub:
A device that contains multiple Ethernet ports and that can be used to establish a LAN.
A hub does not usually contain DHCP functionality, but such functionality is available if the hub is
connected to a router that has DHCP functionality or a DHCP server.
MAC address:
A unique identi
fi
er assigned to each network communication device.
MAC addresses are registered by the manufacturer, and it cannot be changed.
IP address:
An identi
fi
er assigned to each device on the network or a LAN.
An IP address is like a home address on the network.
IPv4/IPv6:
There are two types of IP addresses: IPv4 and IPv6.
The term “IP address” usually refers to an IPv4 address. An IPv6 address is referred to as an “IPv6
address”.
IPv6 addresses might not be available depending on the network environment.
DHCP:
A protocol that assigns necessary information, such as an IP address, to devices on the network on a
temporary basis.
This type of functionality provides reliable and simple network con
fi
guration without user
intervention.
This function is convenient for users who are not familiar with network con
fi
guration.
LAN:
A network that spans a relatively small area such as a single building.
It enables connections between computers, printers, and other communication devices to interact
with each other on the network.
