ParameterDescription

 

 

Network Status

Status of the HP all-in-one:

 

Ready: the HP all-in-one is ready to receive or transmit data.

 

Offline: the HP all-in-one is offline.

 

 

Active

Network mode of the HP all-in-one:

Connection Type

Wired: the HP all-in-one is connected by Ethernet cable to an IEEE

 

802.3 network.

 

Wireless: the HP all-in-one is connected wirelessly to an IEEE 802.11b

 

or g network.

 

None: Both network connection types are disabled.

 

Note Only one connection type can be active at a time.

 

 

URL

The web or IP address of the Embedded Web Server.

 

Note You will need to know this URL when you try to access the

 

Embedded Web Server.

 

 

Hardware

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

Address (MAC)

HP all-in-one. This is a unique 12-digit identification number assigned to

 

networking hardware for identification. 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.

 

 

Firmware

The internal networking component and device firmware revision code

Revision

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.

 

 

Hostname

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

 

this is the letters HP followed by the last 6 digits of the MAC address.

 

 

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 prevent

 

your network components from seeing the HP all-in-one.
