Parameter

Description

 

 

Link

The speed at which data is transmitted over a network. Speeds include 10TX-

Configuration

Full, 10TX-Half,100TX-Full, and 100TX-Half. When set to None, networking

 

is disabled.

 

 

Total Packets

The number of packets transmitted by the HP All-in-One without error since

transmitted

it has been turned on. The counter clears after the HP All-in-One is turned

 

off. When a message is transmitted over a packet-switching network, it is

 

broken up into packets. Each packet contains the destination address as well

 

as the data.

 

 

Total Packets

The number of packets received by the HP All-in-One without error since it

received

has been turned on. The counter clears after the HP All-in-One is turned off.

 

 

Wireless (802.11) network settings

The following table describes the 802.11 wireless settings shown on the network configuration page.

Parameter

Description

 

 

Hardware

The Media Access Control (MAC) address that identifies the HP All-in-One.

Address (MAC)

This is a unique 12-digit identification number assigned to networking

 

hardware for identification, including wireless access points, routers, and

 

other such products. No two pieces of hardware have the same MAC address.

 

Two MAC addresses are assigned: one for wired Ethernet and one for

 

wireless 802.11.

 

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.

 

 

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 installation will

 

prevent your network components from seeing the HP All-in-One.

 

 

Subnet Mask

A subnet is an IP address assigned by the installation 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

 

product itself.

 

NOTE: It is recommended that the HP All-in-One and the computers that

 

use it all reside on the same subnet.

 

 

Default Gateway

A node on a network that serves as an entrance to another network. A node

 

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

 

NOTE: The address of the default gateway is assigned by the installation

 

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.
