Parameter

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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).

 

 

 

 

 

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: The radio is turned off.

 

• 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 router or access point is used. This is also called

 

 

 

a peer-to-peer network.

 

• 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

 

number. Value is from 1 to 14; countries/regions might limit the range of

 

approved channels.

 

• (number): Value ranging from 1 to 14, depending on country/region.

 

• None: No channel is in use.

 

• Not Applicable: The WLAN is disabled or this parameter does not apply

 

 

 

to this network type.

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE: In ad hoc mode, if you are not able to receive or transmit data

 

between your computer and the HP All-in-One, make sure that you are using

 

the same communication channel on your computer and the HP All-in-One.

 

In infrastructure mode, the channel is dictated by the access point.
