Ethernet is a standard for communicating data in a local area network (LAN). You can set the communication mode
(half-duplex/full-duplex) and the Ethernet type (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX). In general, the machine can be used without changing the defaults ( 
EthernetDriverSettings(P.482) ), but you can change these settings to suit your network
environment.

In most Ethernet networks, the maximum size of a packet that can be sent is 1500 bytes. A packet refers to a chunk of
data into which the original data is divided before being sent. The maximum transmission unit (MTU) may vary on each
network. Change the settings of the machine as necessary. For more information, contact your Network Administrator.

When a network is designed to enjoy redundant connectivity with multiple switching hubs or bridges, it must have a mechanism to prevent packets from looping. One effective solution is to  de4ne the role of each switch port. However,
communication may still be disrupted for several tens of seconds immediately after you change the way that network
devices are connected, or if you add a new device. If this type of problem occurs, set a wait time for connecting to the
network.

							Con4gurLngDNS
1469-075
DNS (Domain Name System) provides a service for name resolution that associates a host (or domain) name with an IP address.  Con4gure  the DNS, mDNS, or DHCP option settings as necessary. Note that the procedures for  con4guring
DNS are different for IPv4 and IPv6.

							Con4gurLngSMB
1469-076
 Server Message Block (SMB) is a protocol for sharing resources, such as  4les and
printers, with more than one device in a network. The machine uses SMB to store
scanned documents into a shared folder. Depending on your network, you may have to set the NetBIOS name and workgroup name.
NetBIOSName
In a Windows network that uses NetBIOS, NetBIOS names are used for identifying network-connected
computers as well as for  4le sharing and other network services. Most computers use the computer name as
the NetBIOS name.
WorkgroupName
Workgroup name is a name for grouping multiple computers so that basic network functions, such as  4le
sharing, become available in a Windows network. Specify the workgroup name to identify the group that the machine belongs to.
