SPX An acronym for Sequenced Packet Exchange. SPX is part of NetWare. It ensures
that packets are received in the correct order and that there are no errors.
Subnet Mask There are approximately 4.3 billion different addresses in the IP Address range of
000.000.000.000 to 255.255.255.255. These addresses can be divided into
smaller, and much more manageable subnetworks, or subnets. The Subnet Mask
identifies which part of the IP Address contains the Subnet Address and which part
contains the host (or device) address.
TCP/IP An acronym for Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol. TCP/IP is a set of
communications protocols that is supported by a variety of computer platforms.
TCP controls the data transfer and IP controls the routing of the data. The IP
Address is a unique address that identifies a device in a network. The IP Address
has to be set in the WorkCentre PE120i by the System Administrator. The IP
Address consists of four bytes of information and is expressed as decimal numbers
with the bytes separated by dots.
