Page 29: Typical Network Ip Addressing
E5810 Description E5810 Software/Firmware Typical Network IP Addressing This section describes typical Enterprise network IP addresses and subnet addresses on the network. This figure shows a typical Enterprise network, consisting of a Router (Gateway), a corporate Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server, and a subnet consisting of six hosts (two E5810s and four host PCs.) The Router sends packets of information to each host, based on the IP address of the host.
Page 30 E5810 Description E5810 Software/Firmware Subnet Addressing is used to determine to which subnet an IP address belongs. Subnet Mask An IP address has two components: the network address and the host address. For example, assuming IP address 156.215.117.109 is part of a Class B network, the first two numbers (156.215) represent the Class B network address and the second two numbers (117.109) identify a specific host on this network.

Page 163 Glossary device A unit that receives commands from a controller. Typically a device is an instrument but could also be a computer acting in a non-controller role, or another peripheral such as a printer or plotter. DHCP Short for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network.
Page 164 Glossary Friendly Name The "UPnP Friendly Name" of the E5810 that will automatically be displayed on Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) enabled LAN hosts. When the E5810 is connected to the LAN, it broadcasts its presence to the network if UPnP is enabled. UPnP clients will then see the name and description of this E5810 in My Network Places.
Page 165 Glossary include additional features that enables an administrator Intelligent hubs to monitor the traffic passing through the hub and to configure each port in the hub. Intelligent hubs are also called manageable hubs. actually read the destination address of each packet Switching hubs and then forward the packet to the correct port.
Page 166 Glossary Local Area Network. A computer network that spans a relatively small area. Most LANs are confined to a single building or group of buildings. However, one LAN can be connected to other LANs over any distance via telephone lines and radio waves. A system of LANs connected in this way is called a wide-area network (WAN).
Page 167 Glossary network protocols The E5810 supports these network protocols: ARP, DHCP, DNS, FTP, HTTP, ICMP, and RPC Short for Address Resolution Protocol, a TCP/IP protocol used to ARP: convert an IP address into a physical address (called a DLC address), such as an Ethernet address.
Page 168 Glossary Instead of forwarding the request to the Web server where Page 1 resides, which can be a time-consuming operation, the proxy server returns the Page 1 it already fetched for user X. Since the proxy server is often on the same network as the user, this is a much faster operation. Real proxy servers support hundreds or thousands of users.
Page 169 Glossary Service Request. An asynchronous request (an interrupt) from a remote device indicating that the device requires servicing. Subnet A portion of a network that shares a common address component. On TCP/IP networks, subnets are defined as all devices whose IP addresses have the same prefix.
Page 170 Glossary Switch A device that filters and forwards packets between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer (layer 2) and sometimes the network layer (layer 3) of the OSI Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs.
Page 171 Glossary The E5810 has two options for Universal Plug and Play (UPnP): The E5810 is configured as a UPnP device and provides Option ON: information to the network about itself via an XML description when mounted to the network. The E5810 is not UPnP capable and will not announce Option OFF: its presence as a UPnP device when mounted to the network.
