Link

The speed at which data is transmitted over a network:

Configuration

802.11b: for wireless network.

 

 

10TX-Full: for wired network.

 

10TX-Half: for wired network.

 

100TX-Full: for wired network.

 

100TX-Half: for wired network.

 

None: networking is disabled.

 

 

Wireless network settings

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

Parameter

Description

 

 

Wireless Status

Status of the wireless network:

 

Connected: the HP all-in-one is connected to a wireless LAN and

 

 

everything is working.

 

Disconnected: the HP all-in-one is not connected to the wireless LAN

 

 

due to incorrect settings (such as the wrong WEP key), or the HP all-

 

 

in-one is out of range.

 

Disabled: either the radio is turned off, or the Ethernet cable is plugged

 

 

in.

 

Not applicable: this parameter does not apply to this network type.

 

 

Communication

An IEEE 802.11 networking framework in which devices or stations

Mode

communicate with each other:

 

Infrastructure: the HP all-in-one communicates with other network

 

 

devices through a wireless access point, such as a wireless router or

 

 

base station.

 

ad hoc: the HP all-in-one communicates directly with each device on

 

 

the network. No wireless access point is used. This is also called a

 

 

peer-to-peer network. On Macintosh networks, ad hoc mode is called

 

 

computer-to-computer mode.

 

Not applicable: this parameter does not apply to this network type.

 

 

Network Name

Service Set Identifier. A unique identifier (up to 32 characters) that

(SSID)

differentiates one wireless local area network (WLAN) from another. The

 

SSID is also referred to as the network name. This is the name of the

 

network to which the HP all-in-one is connected.

 

 

Signal Strength

The transmitting or return signal graded on a scale of 1 to 5:

(1-5)

5: Excellent

 

 

4: Good

 

3: Fair

 

2: Poor

 

1: Marginal

 

No signal: no signal detected on the network.

 

Not applicable: this parameter does not apply to this network type.

 

 

Channel

The channel number currently being used for wireless communication. This

 

depends on the network in use, and might differ from the requested channel
