functions of restoring signal amplitude and timing, collision
detection and notification, and signal broadcast to lower-level
hubs and DTE’s.

ifnum will always be 1 for the M208 since there is only one net-
work interface, Ethernet.
interface file Host filter that processes the print job before it is sent to the
M208.
IP Router IP routers allow computers connected to two or more separate
networks to communicate with each other. IP routers forward
