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 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.

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.

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 device itself.

NOTE: It is recommended that the HP All-in-One and the computers that use it all reside on the same subnet.

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 device.

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

The protocol used to assign the IP address to the HP All-in-One:

•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.
