Parameter Description

With mDNS, your computer can find and use any HP All-in-One connected to your local area network. It can also work with any other Ethernet-enabled device that appears on the network.

Wired (802.3) network settings

The following table describes the 802.3 wired settings shown on the network configuration page.

Parameter	Description
Hardware	The Media Access Control (MAC) address that identifies the
Address (MAC)	HP All-in-One. This is a unique 12-digit identification number
	assigned to networking hardware for identification, including
	routers, switches, and other such devices. No two pieces of
	hardware have the same MAC address.
	Note Some Internet service providers (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.
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.
	Caution Be careful when manually assigning an IP address. An
	invalid IP address during installation will prevent your network
	components from seeing the HP All-in-One.
Subnet Mask	A subnet is an IP address assigned by the installation software to
	make an additional network available as part of a larger network.
	Subnets are specified by a subnet mask. This mask determines
	which of the HP All-in-One IP address bits identify the network
	and subnet, and which bits identify the device itself.
	Note It is recommended that the HP All-in-One and the
	computers that use it all reside on the same subnet.
Default	A node on a network that serves as an entrance to another
Gateway	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
	installation software.
