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 AddressThis address uniquely identifies the product on the network. IP addresses are
assigned dynamically through DHCP or Au toIP. 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 pr event your network components from
seeing the HP All-in-One.
Subnet MaskA 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 determ ines which of the HP All-in-One IP
address bits identify the network and subnet, and which bits identify the
product itself.
NOTE: It is recommended that the HP All-in-One and the computers that
use it all reside on the same subnet.
Default GatewayA node on a network that serves as an entrance to another network. A node
in this instance can be a computer or some other product.
NOTE: The address of the default gateway is assigned by the installation
software, unless you have alread y set a manual IP address.
Configuration
SourceThe 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) serv er 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.
DNS serverThe IP address of the domain name service (DNS) for the network. When you

ParameterDescription
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.
Authentication
typeType of authentication in use:
•None: No authentication in use.
•Open System  (ad hoc and infrastructure): No authentication
•Shared Key: WEP key is required.
•WPA-PSK (infrastructure only): WPA with Pre-Shared Key.
•Not applicable : This parameter does not apply to this network type.
Authentication verifies the identity of  a user or product before granting access
to the network, making it more diff icult for unauthorized users to access
network resources. This security method is common on wireless networks.
A network using  Open System authentication does not screen network users
based on their identities. Any wireless us er can have access from the network.
However, such a network might us e WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
encryption to provide a first level of  security against casual eavesdroppers.
A network using  Shared Key authentication provides increased security by
requiring users or products to identif y themselves with a static key (a
hexadecimal or alphanumeric string). Ev ery user or product on the network
shares the same key. WEP encrypt ion is used along with shared key
authentication, using the same key  for both authentication and encryption.
A network using server-based ( WPA-PSK) authentication provides
significantly stronger security, and is  supported in most wireless access
points and wireless routers. The access poi nt or router verifies the identity of
a user or product requesting access to the network before granting that
access. Several different authentication protocols might be used on an
authentication server.
EncryptionThe type of encryption in use on the network:
•None : No encryption is in use.
•64-bit WEP : A 5-character or 10-hex-digit WEP key is in use.
•128-bit WEP : A 13-character or 26-hex-digit WEP key is in use.
•WPA-AES: Advanced Encryption Standard encryption is in use. This is
an encryption algorithm for securing  sensitive but unclassified material
by US Government agencies.
•WPA-TKIP : Temporal Key Integrity Pr otocol, an advanced encryption
protocol, is in use.
•Automatic : AES or TKIP is in use.
•Not applicable : This parameter does not apply to this network type.
WEP aims to provide securi ty by encrypting data over radio waves so that it
is protected as it is transmitted from one end point to another. This security
method is common on wireless networks.
