NOTE
1. DHCP server: With DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol), a host can automatically be given a unique IP
address each time it connects to a network-making IP
address management an easier task for network
administrators. If the DHCP server is available from your
network, you do not need to enter TCP/IP, subnet mask,
gateway, and DNS information. Instead, this information
will be automatically given for the MFP.
2. IP Address: An IP (Internet Protocol) address uniquely
identifies a host connection to an IP network. System
administrator or network designer assigns the IP
address. The IP address consists of two parts, one
identifying the network and the one identifying your
node. The IP address is usually written as four numbers
separated by periods. Each number can be zero to 255.
For example, 10.1.30.186 could be an IP address.
3. SMTP: (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is the main
communication protocol used to send and receive e-mail
on the Internet.
4. DNS: (Domain Name System). The DNS server identifies
hosts via names instead of IP addresses. If the DNS
server is available on your network, you can enter the
domain name instead of digits for your SMTP or POP3
servers, such as Pegasus.com.tw instead of 120.3.2.23.
5. POP3: POP3 is the latest Post Office Protocol 3, this is a
service that stores and serves e-mails for various client
machines that are not connected to the Internet 24 hours
a day. E-mails are held in POP3 until you log on.
