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.

52 

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.
