Network technology and protocol overview
This section explains some of the networking technologies and protocols which are used by the receiver.

DNS

DNS stands for "Domain Name System". This protocol allows the usage of a hostname rather than only using the IP address to register
and access a network device within a computer network. However, the IP address can still be used to access the network device.
A DNS server is needed within a network in order to use the preconfigured hostname of a GR/GM receiver.

DHCP

DHCP is short for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol allows a dynamic assignment of network configuration
parameters of a new network device which is added to a computer network. If a DHCP enabled network device is connected to a LAN it
can query the DHCP server to assign valid values for IP address, default gateway, subnet mask and other parameters which are
needed to be properly registered within the network. DHCP reduces system administration workload, allowing devices to be added to
the network with little or no manual intervention.
