Glossary
802.11b or g
Signalling protocols for wireless networks. 802.11g was developed more
recently and provides more advanced functionality.
access point
Also known as a wireless router, an access point provides a secure and
flexible connection for your HP all-in-one and other network elements. A
wireless network with an access point is called an infrastructure network.
ad hoc
A wireless network that does not use an access point.
ASCII
American Standard Code for Information Interchange. The standard for
numbers used by computers to represent all the uppercase and lowercase
Latin letters, numbers, punctuation, etc.
authentication
A network security method that 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.
autoIP
A feature of the installation software, which determines the configuration
parameters of devices on the network.
DHCP
Dynamic 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.
DNS
Domain Name Service. When you use the web or send an e-mail
message, you use a domain name to do it. For 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-SD
See DNS. The SD portion stands for Service Discovery. This is part of a
protocol developed by Apple that enables automatic discovery of
computers, devices, and services on IP networks.
DSL
Digital Subscriber Line. A high-speed connection to the Internet.
Ethernet
The most common local network technology that connects computers
using copper cabling.
Ethernet cable
The 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. The Ethernet cable uses an RJ-45 connector.
EWS
Embedded Web Server. A browser-based utility that provides a simple
way to manage your HP all-in-one. You can monitor status, configure
HP all-in-one networking parameters, or access HP all-in-one features.

.
HEX
Hexidecimal. The base 16 numbering system, which uses the digits 0-9
plus the letters A-F.
