Abbreviation for Local Area Network. This is a network with a relatively
narrow range such as inside a company.
These are stations for relaying electromagnetic signals between
computers in a wireless LAN. When a computer is connected to an
access point, it can communicate through the network connected to the
access point.
Each network card has its own ID No.
A discrete ID No. is assigned to each and every network card around
the world. These IDs are used to exchange data between cards. These
IDs are a combination of a discrete number managed and assigned
by the IEEE to each individual manufacturer and a unique number
assigned to each individual card by the manufacturer.
Internet Protocol (IP) is a protocol for distributing data, and the address
corresponding to the data distribution destination is called the IP
address. The same IP address cannot be used within the same LAN.
Abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This function
automatically assigns IP addresses to the connected equipment. If
a device with the DHCP server function is present within a LAN, it
automatically assigns IP addresses to the connected equipment.
This limits the range of the IP addresses assigned to computers in
order to divide the network into a number of sections during TCP/IP
connection. The value used to divide the network at this time is called
the subnetmask.
The devices that are used for different network standards from yours.
Default Gateway enables a connection with other network, by adjusting
bilateral differences such as communication protocols.
If no gateway is specified for the IP address of access destination, data
will be sent to the host set as the default gateway.
The identifier that corresponds to the location to which data is delivered
by the network.
It is an alias name consisting of alphabet, numbers, and symbols that
replace the more difficult to use enumerated IP address.
