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 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
(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.
Signal Strength
(1-5)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.
ChannelThe 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

ParameterDescription
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 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 devices to identif y themselves with a static key (a
hexadecimal or alphanumeric string). Ev ery 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 poi nt 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 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.
Access Point HW
AddressThe hardware address of the wireless router or access point on the network
to which the HP All-in-One is connected:
•(MAC address) : The unique MAC (Media Access Control) hardware
address of the access point.
•Not applicable : This parameter does not apply to this network type.
Total Packets
transmittedThe number of packets transmitted by  the HP All-in-One without error since
it has been turned on. The counter clears after the HP All-in-One is turned
off. When a message is transmitted over a packet-switching network, it is
broken up into packets. Each packet contains the destination address as well
as the data.

•Low : The HP All-in-One does not require a passkey. Any Bluetooth
device within range can print to it.
•High : The HP All-in-One requires a passkey from the Bluetooth device
before allowing the device to send a print job.
Network glossary
access pointA network router that has wireless capability.
ASCIIAmerican Standard Code for Information Interchange. The standard for
numbers used by computers to represent all the uppercase and lowercase
Latin letters, numbers, punctuation, etc.
AutoIPA feature of the installation software, which determines the configuration
parameters of devices on the network.
DHCPDynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A server on the network that supplies
configuration parameters to devices on the network. On small networks, this
could be a router.
DNSDomain Name Service. When you use the Web or send an e-mail message,
you use a domain name to do it. Fo r 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.
DNS-SDSee DNS. The SD portion stands for Service Discovery. This is part of a
protocol developed by Apple that enabl es automatic discovery of computers,
devices, and services on IP networks.
DSLDigital Subscriber Line. A high- speed connection to the Internet.

EthernetThe most common local network technology that connects computers using
copper cabling.
Ethernet cableThe cable used to connect network elements in a wired network. The CAT-5
Ethernet cable is also known as a  straight-through cable. When using an
Ethernet cable, the network elements must be attached to a router. An
Ethernet cable uses an RJ-45 connector.
EWSEmbedded Web Server. A browser-based utility that provides a simple way
to manage the HP All-in-One. You can monitor status, configure HP All-in-
One networking parameters, or access HP All-in-One features.
GatewayA computer or other device, such as  a router, that serves as an entrance to
the Internet or another network.
HEXHexadecimal. The base 16 numbering system , which uses the digits 0-9 plus
the letters A-F.
host computerThe computer at the center of a network.
HostnameThe TCP/IP name assigned by the installation software to the device. By
default, this is the letters HP followed  by the last 6 digits of the Media Access
Control (MAC) address.
hubNo longer commonly used in modern home networks, a hub takes its signal
from each computer and sends it to all of the other computers connected to
the hub. Hubs are passive; other devices on the network plug into the hub in
order to communicate with one another. A hub does not manage the network.
IP addressA number that 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.
MAC addressMedia Access Control (MAC) address that uniquely identifies the HP All-in-
One. This is a unique 12-digit identif ication number assigned to networking
hardware for identification. No two pieces of hardware have the same MAC
address.
network nameThe SSID or network name identifies a wireless network.
NICNetwork Interface Card. A card on your computer that provides an Ethernet
connection so that you can connect  your computer to a network.
RJ-45 connectorThe connector on the ends of an Ethernet cable. Although standard Ethernet
cable connectors (RJ-45 connectors) look similar to standard telephone
cable connectors, they are not interc hangeable. An RJ-45 connector is wider
and thicker and always has 8 contacts on the end. A phone connector has
between 2 and 6 contacts.
routerA router provides a bridge between two or more networks. A router can link
a network to the Internet, link two networks and connect both to the Internet,
and help secure networks through the use of firewalls and assigning dynamic
addresses. A router can also act as a gateway, while a switch cannot.
SSIDThe SSID or network name identifies a wireless network.
switchA switch makes it possible for several users to send information over a
network at the same time without slowing each other down. Switches allow
different nodes (a network connection  point, typically a computer) of a
network to communicate directly with one another.
