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.
