Parameter	Description
	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
	number. Value is from 1 to 14; countries/regions might limit the range of
	approved channels.
	• (number): Value ranging from 1 to 14, depending on country/region.
	• None: No channel is in use.
	• Not Applicable: The WLAN is disabled or this parameter does not apply
		to this network type.
	NOTE: In ad hoc mode, if you are not able to receive or transmit data
	between your computer and the HP All-in-One, make sure that you are using
	the same communication channel on your computer and the HP All-in-One.
	In infrastructure mode, the channel is dictated by the access point.
