Chapter 4 (continued) Parameter Description 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. Wired (802.3) network settings The following table describes the 802.3 wired settings shown on the network configuration page. Parameter Description Hardware Address (MAC) The Media Access Control (MAC) address that identifies the HP All-in-One. 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. Network setup 38 HP Photosmart 2570 All-in-One series
