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 @V5100.
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, such as Pegasus.com.tw instead of
120.3.2.23.
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.
