FTP
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) allows the Dell machine to scan black and white or color documents directly to an
FTP server located locally on your network or on the Internet.
G
Gateway
A gateway is a network point that acts as an entrance to another network and sends data transmitted via the network
to an exact destination. The router knows where to direct data that arrives at the gateway. If a destination is located
on an external network, the router transmits data to the external network. If your network communicates with other
networks, you may need to configure the Gateway IP address. If you do not know the Gateway IP address, then
contact your Network Administrator.
Gray Scale

Group Number
A combination of Address Book numbers that are stored in Address Book for Broadcasting.
H
HTTP (Web Server)
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is used to transmit the data between a web server and a web browser. The
Dell print server is equipped with a built-in web server that allows you to monitor its status or change some of its
configuration settings using a web browser.
I
Infrastructure Mode
The mode of operation in a wireless network, in which all devices (machines and computers) are connected via an
access point/router.
IP Address
An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a series of numbers that identifies each device connected to a network. An IP
address consists of four numbers separated by dots. Each number is between 0 and 255.
Example: In a small network, you would normally change the final number.
192.168.1.1
192.168.1.2
192.168.1.3
How the IP address is assigned to your print server:
If you have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server in your network, the print server will automatically obtain its IP address
from that server.
NOTE: On smaller networks, the DHCP server may also be the Router.
If you do not have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server, the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol will
automatically assign an IP address from the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255.
