Glossary

 

802.11b or g

Signalling protocols for wireless networks. 802.11g was developed more

 

 

recently and provides more advanced functionality.

 

access point

Also known as a wireless router, an access point provides a secure and

 

 

flexible connection for your HP all-in-one and other network elements. A

 

 

wireless network with an access point is called an infrastructure network.

 

ad hoc

A wireless network that does not use an access point.

 

ASCII

American Standard Code for Information Interchange. The standard for

 

 

numbers used by computers to represent all the uppercase and lowercase

 

 

Latin letters, numbers, punctuation, etc.

 

authentication

A network security method that verifies the identity of a user or device

 

 

before granting access to the network, making it more difficult for

 

 

unauthorized users to access network resources. This security method is

 

 

common on wireless networks.

 

autoIP

A feature of the installation software, which determines the configuration

 

 

parameters of devices on the network.

 

DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A server on the network that

 

 

supplies configuration parameters to devices on the network. On small

 

 

networks, this could be a router.

 

DNS

Domain Name Service. When you use the web or send an e-mail

 

 

message, you use a domain name to do it. For example, the URL http://

 

 

www.hp.com contains the domain name hp.com. The DNS on the

 

 

Internet translates the domain name into an IP address. Devices use the

 

 

IP addresses to refer to one another.

 

DNS-SD

See DNS. The SD portion stands for Service Discovery. This is part of a

 

 

protocol developed by Apple that enables automatic discovery of

 

 

computers, devices, and services on IP networks.

 

DSL

Digital Subscriber Line. A high-speed connection to the Internet.

 

Ethernet

The most common local network technology that connects computers

 

 

using copper cabling.

 

Ethernet cable

The cable used to connect network elements in a wired network. The

 

 

CAT-5 Ethernet cable is also known as a straight-through cable. When

 

 

using an Ethernet cable, the network elements must be attached to a

 

 

router. The Ethernet cable uses an RJ-45 connector.

 

EWS

Embedded Web Server. A browser-based utility that provides a simple

 

 

way to manage your HP all-in-one. You can monitor status, configure

 

 

HP all-in-one networking parameters, or access HP all-in-one features.

 

 

For more information, see Use the Embedded Web Server.

 

HEX

Hexidecimal. The base 16 numbering system, which uses the digits 0-9

 

 

plus the letters A-F.
