is only available for use when the TCP/IP protocol is loaded.

Gateway
A Gateway allows different systems to talk to each other. It is a system that transfers network data
between network types, translating the data between the two types as needed. Although there is a
Gateway setting within the AR5132’s Control Panel Menu, the network card does not support this
function. Because of this, the Gateway Address does not need to be set on the copier. On the AR-
NC1D for the AR280/285/335 however, an address for a router on the network can be set under
the Gateway Setting.

Host
A networked computer.
HUB
This is a central point of larger networks. A type of junction box. Hubs come in various degrees of
sophistication and size ranging from simple products providing just the electrical functions for small
networks of less than eight users, to focal points for large corporate networks.

IEEE 1284
On March 30
th
1994, the IEEE Standards Board approved its parallel port standard. Before the
IEEE 1284 standard, parallel ports came in many differing shapes and sizes, although there were
four main types: Standard Parallel Ports, Bi-directional Parallel Ports, Enhanced Parallel Ports and
Extended Capabilities Ports. The IEEE 1284 standard redefined the differences in the ports,
classifying them by the transfer mode that they use. It also describes the physical and electrical
characteristics of each type of port.

IP Address
An IP Address is a logical 32-bit address that is used to identify a TCP/IP device. If the TCP/IP
protocol is used on a network, an IP Address will have to be set-up for every device on that
network.

The AR-5132, AR-280/285/335 will require an IP Address if it is used on a network that is running
the TCP/IP Protocol. The IP Address can be assigned to the copier by the technician from the
machines Printer Board Control Panel Menu. Alternatively, the customer can set the IP Address for
the copier using either the Printset Utility Software that is included with the Network Card or
through a DOS command called “ARP”.
