information. When your wireless network device receives a beacon, you can identify the wireless network that is

Status Monitor

The Status Monitor utility is a configurable utility to monitor the status of one or more devices, allowing you to get
immediate notification when there is a problem, for example, when the machine runs out of paper or jams.

Subnet Mask

A subnet mask allows you to identify which part of an IP address is used as the network address and which part
is used as the host address.
In the following example, the last segment of the IP address is known as the host address and the first three
segments are the network address.
Example: Computer 1 can talk to Computer 2
• Computer 1
IP Address: 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
• Computer 2
IP Address: 192.168.1.3
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
0 denotes that there is no limit to communication at this part of the address.
Super Fine resolution (Mono only)

Switching Hub
A central device (hub) that has a switching function. This hub distributes packets to the specified destinations,
localizes network traffic, and can increase the communication bandwidth of the entire network. Although network
devices are interconnected using a hub in 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and other networks, the effective bandwidth
will quickly become saturated due to the Ethernet communication method when the number of nodes increases.
Therefore, switching technology was developed to directly connect only the ports that are actually
communicating without sending data to other ports. A hub that incorporates this technology is called a switching
hub.
