Parameter

Hardware Address (MAC)

IP Address

Subnet Mask

Description

The Media Access Control (MAC) address that identifies the HP All- in-One. This is a unique 12-digit identification number assigned to networking hardware for identification, including routers, switches, and other such devices. No two pieces of hardware have the same MAC address.

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.

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.

Caution Be careful when manually assigning an IP address. An invalid IP address during installation will prevent your network components from seeing the HP All-in-One.

A subnet is an IP address assigned by the installation software to make an additional network available as part of a larger network.
