Hardware Address

The Media Access Control (MAC) address that uniquely identifies the

 

HP PSC. This is a unique 12-digit identification number assigned to

 

networking hardware for identification, like a digital fingerprint. No two

 

pieces of hardware have the same MAC address.

 

Note: Some ISPs require that you register the MAC address of the

 

Network Card or LAN Adapter that was connected to your cable or

 

DSL modem during installation.

 

 

Firmware Version

The internal networking component and device firmware revision code

 

separated by a hyphen.

 

Note: If you call in for support, depending on the problem, you

 

might be asked to provide the firmware revision code.

 

 

Host Name

The TCP/IP name assigned by the install software to the device. By

 

default, this is the letters NPI followed by the last six digits of the MAC

 

address. You can also configure the device name through the embedded

 

Web server.

 

 

IP Address

The HP PSC’s Internet Protocol (IP) address. This address uniquely

 

identifies the device on the network.

 

IP addresses are assigned dynamically through DHCP or AutoIP. You can

 

also set up a static IP address, though this is not recommended.

 

Note: Manually assigning an invalid IP address during install will

 

cause your network components to not see the device.

 

 

Subnet Mask

A subnet is an IP address assigned by the install software to make an

 

additional network available as part of a larger network. Subnets are

 

specified by a subnet mask. This mask determines which bits of the

 

HP PSC’s IP address identify the network and subnet, and which bits

 

identify the device itself.

 

Note: It is recommended that the HP PSC and the computers that

 

use it all reside on the same subnet.

 

 

Default Gateway

A node on a network that serves as an entrance to another network. A

 

node in this instance can be a computer or some other device.

 

Note: The address of the default gateway is assigned by the install

 

software.

 

 

Config Source

The protocol used to assign the IP address to the device:

 

• Automatic (AutoIP): the installation software determines the

 

configuration parameters.

 

• DHCP: the configuration parameters are supplied by a dynamic

 

host configuration protocol (DHCP) server on the network. On

 

small networks, this could be a router.

 

• Manual: the configuration parameters are set manually, such as a

 

static IP address.

 

• Not Specified: mode when initializing.
