Parameter	Description
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).
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), the HP All-in-One is out of range, or an Ethernet cable is
	plugged in and connected to an active network.
	● 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 access point is used. This
	is also called a peer-to-peer network. On Macs, ad hoc mode is
	called computer-to-computer mode.
	● Not applicable: This parameter does not apply to this network
	type.
