HP Networking 6600 instruction

HP Deskjet 6600 series printer

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

LAN (Local Area Network): A high-speed type of computer network that connects devices that are a relatively short distance from one another. An Ethernet network is one type of LAN.

m

MAC address (Media Access Control address): The hardware address for a device on a network. The printer's MAC address appears on the HP Report page.
