Chapter 4

To set up your HP All-in-One on a wired network, you need to do the following:

First, collect all of the required materials, as explained in the next section, What you need for a wired network.

Next, connect your HP All-in-One with an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet router, switch, or wireless router. See Connect your HP All-in-One to the network.

Finally, install the software, as explained in Install the software for a network connection.

What you need for a wired network

A functional Ethernet network that includes an Ethernet router, switch, or a wireless router with Ethernet ports.

CAT-5 Ethernet cable.

Although standard Ethernet cables look similar to standard telephone cables, they are not interchangeable. There is a different number of wires in each one, and each has a different connector. An Ethernet cable connector (also called an RJ-45 connector) is wider and thicker and always has 8 contacts on the end. A phone connector has between 2 and 6 contacts.

A desktop computer or laptop with a connection to the Ethernet or wireless router.

Note The HP All-in-One supports both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps Ethernet networks. If you are purchasing, or have purchased, a network interface card (NIC), make sure it can operate at either speed.

HP recommends Broadband Internet access such as cable or DSL. Broadband Internet access is required if you want to access HP Instant Share directly from the device. For more information on HP Instant Share, see Share your images with family and friends.
