Ethernet

 

The most common local network technology that connects computers using

 

 

copper cabling.

 

 

 

Ethernet cable

 

The cable used to connect network elements in a wired network. The CAT-5

 

 

Ethernet cable is also known as a straight-through cable. When using an

 

 

Ethernet cable, the network elements must be attached to a router. An

 

 

Ethernet cable uses an RJ-45 connector.

 

 

 

EWS

 

Embedded Web Server. A browser-based utility that provides a simple way

 

 

to manage the HP All-in-One. You can monitor status, configure HP All-in-

 

 

One networking parameters, or access HP All-in-One features.

 

 

 

Gateway

 

A computer or other device, such as a router, that serves as an entrance to

 

 

the Internet or another network.

 

 

 

HEX

 

Hexadecimal. The base 16 numbering system, which uses the digits 0-9 plus

 

 

the letters A-F.

 

 

 

host computer

 

The computer at the center of a network.

 

 

 

Hostname

 

The TCP/IP name assigned by the installation software to the device. By

 

 

default, this is the letters HP followed by the last 6 digits of the Media Access

 

 

Control (MAC) address.

 

 

 

hub

 

No longer commonly used in modern home networks, a hub takes its signal

 

 

from each computer and sends it to all of the other computers connected to

 

 

the hub. Hubs are passive; other devices on the network plug into the hub in

 

 

order to communicate with one another. A hub does not manage the network.

 

 

 

IP address

 

A number that uniquely identifies the device on the network. IP addresses

 

 

are assigned dynamically through DHCP or AutoIP. You can also set up a

 

 

static IP address, though this is not recommended.

 

 

 

MAC address

 

Media Access Control (MAC) address that uniquely identifies the HP All-in-

 

 

One. This is a unique 12-digit identification number assigned to networking

 

 

hardware for identification. No two pieces of hardware have the same MAC

 

 

address.

 

 

 

network name

 

The SSID or network name identifies a wireless network.

 

 

 

NIC

 

Network Interface Card. A card on your computer that provides an Ethernet

 

 

connection so that you can connect your computer to a network.

 

 

 

RJ-45 connector

 

The connector on the ends of an Ethernet cable. Although standard Ethernet

 

 

cable connectors (RJ-45 connectors) look similar to standard telephone

 

 

cable connectors, they are not interchangeable. An RJ-45 connector is wider

 

 

and thicker and always has 8 contacts on the end. A phone connector has

 

 

between 2 and 6 contacts.

 

 

 

router

 

A router provides a bridge between two or more networks. A router can link

 

 

a network to the Internet, link two networks and connect both to the Internet,

 

 

and help secure networks through the use of firewalls and assigning dynamic

 

 

addresses. A router can also act as a gateway, while a switch cannot.

 

 

 

SSID

 

The SSID or network name identifies a wireless network.

 

 

 

switch

 

A switch makes it possible for several users to send information over a

 

 

network at the same time without slowing each other down. Switches allow

 

 

different nodes (a network connection point, typically a computer) of a

 

 

network to communicate directly with one another.

 

 

 

WEP

 

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a type of encryption used for wireless

 

 

network security.
