Ethernet: A popular form of wired computer networking for Local Area Networks.
Ethernet cable: There are two types of Ethernet cables. A straight-through cable is
the most common and is used to connect devices on a network to a hub or router.
A crossover cable is used to connect two devices that have Ethernet ports but that
are not hubs or routers. Use a CAT-5 cable with an RJ-45 plug to connect the printer
to an Ethernet network.
f
Firewall: A combination of hardware and software tools that protects a network from
unwanted entry.
g
Gateway: A dedicated device (router or computer) that connects two different
networks. For example, a computer on an Ethernet network may act as a gateway
between the network and the Internet.
h
Host name: The name by which the printer identifies itself on the network. The
printer's host name appears on the HP Report page. Use the host name to open
the printer's embedded Web server (EWS).
Hub: A simple device that acts as the center of an Ethernet network. Other devices
on the network are connected to the hub.
i
ICS (Internet Connection Sharing): A Windows program that allows a computer to
act as a gateway between the Internet and a network. ICS uses DHCP to assign IP
addresses. See Windows documentation for more information about ICS.
Internet Sharing: A Macintosh OSX program that allows a computer to act as a
gateway between the Internet and a network. See Macintosh documentation for
more information about Internet Sharing.
IP address (Internet Protocol address): A unique number that identifies a device on
a network. The IP address is often automatically assigned by DHCP or AutoIP.
However, a device can be manually assigned a static IP address.
l

devices that are a relatively short distance from one another. An Ethernet network
is one type of LAN.
