•Connected : The HP All-in-One is conn ected to a wireless LAN and
everything is working.
•Disconnected : The HP All-in-One is not c onnected 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
ModeAn 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 communicate s directly with each device on
the network. No wireless router or acce ss 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
(SSID)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.

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 device before granting access
to the network, making it more difficult 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 user can have access from the network.
However, such a network might use 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 devices to identif y themselves with a static key (a
hexadecimal or alphanumeric string).  Every user or device 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 point or router verifies the identity of
a user or device 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 security by encrypt ing 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.
