Subnet Mask

A subnet is an IP address assigned by the install 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 network. A node

Gateway

in this instance can be a computer or some other device.

 

Note The address of the default gateway is assigned by the install

 

software.

 

 

Configuration

The protocol used to assign the IP address to the HP all-in-one:

Source

● AutoIP: the installation software automatically determines the

 

 

configuration parameters.

 

● DHCP: the configuration parameters are supplied by a dynamic host

 

configuration protocol (DHCP) server on the network. On small

 

networks, this could be a router.

 

● Manual: the configuration parameters are set manually, such as a

 

static IP address.

 

● Not Specified: the mode used when the HP all-in-one is initializing.

 

 

DNS Server

The IP address of the domain name service (DNS) for the network. 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 DNS on the Internet translates 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 Internet service provider (ISP). The DNS IP

 

address is required to use HP Instant Share from the device, and can

 

be entered through the Embedded Web Server.

 

 

mDNS

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 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.

 

 

Admin

Status of the administrator's password for the Embedded Web Server:

Password

● 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.
