Parameter

 

Description

 

 

 

 

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 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
