DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol for assigning
dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a
device can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network.
In some systems, the device's IP address can even change while it is still
connected. DHCP also supports a mix of static and dynamic IP addresses.
Dynamic addressing simplifies network administration because the software
keeps track of IP addresses rather than requiring an administrator to manage
the task. This means that a new computer can be added to a network without
the hassle of manually assigning it a unique IP address.
DNS
Abbreviation for Domain Name System. A system that acquires the sup-
ported IP addresses from host names in a network environment. DNS allows
the user to access other computers over a network by specifying host names,
instead of difficult to memorize and understand IP addresses.
HTTP
HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is the underlying protocol used by the
World Wide Web. It defines how messages are formatted and transmitted,
and what actions web servers and browsers should take in response to vari-
ous commands. For example, when you enter a URL in your browser, this
actually sends an HTTP command to the Web server directing it to fetch and
transmit the requested web page.
POP Before SMTP
A user authentication method for sending E-mail messages. First, the recep-
tion operation is performed and the user is authenticated by the POP server.
Then, IP addresses where the user was successfully authenticated by the
POP server are permitted to use the SMTP server. This method prevents
third parties without permission to use the mail server from sending mail mes-
sages.
Port 9100
When printing through a network, TCP/IP port number 9100 can be used to
send raw data.
