DNS Server

The IP address of the network’s domain name server (DNS).

 

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 Internet's domain name servers (DNS)

 

translate the domain name into an IP address. Devices use the IP

 

addresses to refer to one another.

 

IP Address: the domain name server’s IP address.

 

Not Specified: the IP address is not specified, or the device is

 

 

initializing.

 

 

Note: Check to see if a DNS IP address appears on the network

 

 

configuration page. If no address is shown, obtain the DNS IP

 

 

address from your ISP. The DNS IP address is required for Instant

 

 

Share registration, and can be entered through the embedded Web

 

 

server.

 

 

mDNS Service Name

Multicast Domain Name Server Service Name. The name used by Apple

 

Rendezvous to identify the HP PSC, which consists of the device name

 

and the MAC Address. For example, psc 2500 series (<MAC Address>).

 

Rendezvous is used with local and ad-hoc networks that don’t use central

 

DNS servers. To perform name services, Rendezvous uses a DNS

 

alternative called mDNS.

 

With mDNS, your computer can find and use any printer connected to

 

your local area network. It can also work with any other Ethernet-

 

enabled device that appears on the network.

 

 

Admin Password

Status of the administrator's password for the embedded Web server:

 

• Set: password is specified. You must enter the password to make

 

 

changes to the embedded Web server parameters.

 

• Not Set: no password is set. A password is not required for making

 

 

changes to the embedded Web server parameters.

 

 

Link Config

The speed at which data is transmitted over a network:

 

802.11b: for wireless network

 

10T-Full: for wired network

 

10T-Half: for wired network

 

100TX-Full: for wired network

 

100TX-Half: for wired network
