4.2.1 Ethernet basics
The printer's built-in Ethernet feature allows you to connect the printer directly to
a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet network without the aid of an external print server.
To install the printer on an Ethernet network, follow the Ethernet installation
instructions.
Hardware
Hubs, switches, and routers
On an Ethernet network, devices, such as computers and printers, are each
connected to a network hub, switch, or router.
Hubs, switches, and routers may look similar, but there are important differences:
Hubs are passive. Other devices on the network plug into the hub in order to
communicate with one another. A hub does not manage the network.
A switch allows devices on a network to communicate directly with one another
in a smooth and efficient manner. A switch monitors and directs network traffic
in order to allow each transmission the most possible bandwidth. By monitoring
network traffic, a switch minimizes collisions and maximizes speed.
Routers primarily connect different networks (for example, connecting a home
network to the Internet). Routers are active. Routers have network
administration tools, such as firewalls and DHCP. A router can act as a
gateway, while a hub and a switch cannot.
Use a CAT-5 Ethernet cable to connect the printer to an Ethernet network. Ethernet
cables have an RJ-45 plug.
