What is a network?

A network in Printix is defined by a collection of one or more gateways (identified by their IP address and MAC address). A gateway should only be added to a network if routing is possible to the other computers/printers on the network segments within that network.

A computer is considered to be on the network the gateway is part of.
A computer can be on multiple networks: one for each active network adapter (LAN and Wi-Fi).
A computer that uses a gateway that is not part of a network appears as being on an unknown network, and a yellow dot is displayed on the Printix Client icon .
A computer (laptop or hybrid tablet, such as the Microsoft Surface 3 or higher) appears as being on an unknown network when it is powered-on outside a registered network (for example, at home or during travel).
