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- |
Address (MAC) | |
| networking hardware for identification, including wireless access |
| points, routers, and other such devices. 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 |
| 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 |
| subnet, and which bits identify the device itself. |
| Note It is recommended that the HP |
| that use it all reside on the same subnet. |
|
|
Default | A node on a network that serves as an entrance to another network. |
Gateway | A node in this instance can be a computer or some other device. |
| Note The address of the default gateway is assigned by the |
| installation software. |
