Parameter

Description

 

 

 

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

 

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 IP address of the domain name server.

 

● 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).

 

 

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.
