Parameter	Description
Admin Password	Status of the administrator's password for the Embedded Web Server:
	• Set: Password is specified. You must enter the password to make
	changes to the Embedded Web Server parameters.
	• Not Set: No password is set. A password is not required for making
	changes to the Embedded Web Server parameters.
mDNS	Some local and ad hoc networks do not use central DNS servers. They use
	a DNS alternative called mDNS.
	With mDNS, your computer can find and use any HP All-in-One connected
	to your local area network. It can also work with any other Ethernet-enabled
	device that appears on the network.

Parameter	Description
Hardware	The Media Access Control (MAC) address that identifies the HP All-in-One.
Address (MAC)	This is a unique 12-digit identification number assigned to networking
	hardware for identification, including routers, switches, and other such
	devices. No two pieces of hardware have the same MAC address.
	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.
IP Address	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.
	CAUTION: Be careful when manually assigning an IP address. An invalid
	IP address during installation will prevent your network components from
	seeing the HP All-in-One.
Subnet Mask	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.
Default Gateway	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, unless you have already set a manual ip address.
