Description

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).

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.

An IEEE 802.11 networking framework in which devices or stations 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.

Service Set Identifier. A unique identifier (up to 32 characters) that 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.

The transmitting or return signal graded on a scale of 1 to 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.

The channel number currently being used for wireless communication. This depends on the network in use, and might differ from the requested channel
