10Base-T/
100Base-TX/
1000Base-T
An Ethernet standard, which is a cable consisting of twisted copper wire 
pairs. The transmission speed of 10Base-T is 10 Mbps, of 100Base-TX is 
100 Mbps, and of 1000Base-T is 1000 Mbps.
bit
Abbreviation for Binary Digit. The smallest unit of information (data quantity) 
on a computer or printer. Displays data using 0 or 1.
BMP
Abbreviation for Bitmap. A file format for saving image data which uses the 
.bmp extension. Commonly used on Windows platforms. You can specify 
the color depth from monochrome (2 values) to full color (16,777,216 
colors). Images are not usually compressed when saved.
BOOTP
Abbreviation for Bootstrap Protocol. A protocol in which a client computer 
on a TCP/IP network automatically specifies the network settings from the 
server. Currently, DHCP, which is an advanced protocol based on BOOTP, 
is mainly used.
Brightness
Brightness of a display screen
Byte
Unit of information (data quantity) on a computer or printer. Configured as 1 
byte equals 8 bits.
Client

Default gateway
A device, such as a computer or router, used as a “gateway” to access 
computers not on the same LAN.
DHCP
Abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A protocol in which 
a client computer on a TCP/IP network automatically specifies the network 
settings from the server. With collective management of the IP address for 
DHCP clients on the DHCP server, you can avoid duplication of an address 
and you can build a network easily.
DNS
Abbreviation for Domain Name System. A system that acquires the support-
ed 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.
DPI (dpi)
Abbreviation for Dots Per Inch. A resolution unit used by printers and scan-
ners. Indicates how many dots per inch are represented in an image. The 
higher the value, the higher the resolution.
Driver
Software that works as a bridge between a computer and a peripheral de-
vice.
Ethernet
LAN transmission line standard
FTP
Abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol. A protocol for transferring files over 
the Internet or an intranet on the TCP/IP network.
Gateway
Hardware and software used as the point where a network is connected to 
a network. A gateway also changes data formats, addresses, and protocols 
according to the connected network.
