Note:
1. DHCP server: With DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), a host can
automatically be given a unique IP address each time it connects to a
network--making IP address management an easier task for network
administrators. If the DHCP server is available from your network, you do not
need to enter TCP/IP, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS information. Instead,
this information will be automatically given for the product.
2. IP Address: An IP (Internet Protocol) address uniquely identifies a host
connection to an IP network. System administrator or network designer
assigns the IP address. The IP address consists of two parts, one identifying
the network and the one identifying your node.
The IP address is usually written as four numbers separated by periods. Each
number can be zero to 255. For example, 10.1.30.186 could be an IP
address.
3. SMTP: Stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. It is the main communication
protocol used to send and receive e-mail on the internet.
4. DNS: Stands for Domain Name System. The DNS server identifies hosts via
names instead of IP addresses. If the DNS server is available on your network,
you can enter the domain name instead of digits for the IP address.
5. POP3: POP3 is the latest Post Office Protocol 3, this is a service that stores and
serves e-mails for various client machines that are not connected to the
Internet 24 hours a day. E-mails are held in POP3 until you log on.
6. LDAP: Stands for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. LDAP enables users to
access directories and address books directly from external networked devices
to simplify document distribution.
