Chapter 2 To set up the HP All-in-One on a wired network, you need to do the following: First, collect all of the required materials. Next, connect to a wired network. Finally, install the software. See this section: "What you need for a wired network" on page 6 "Connect the HP All-in-One to the network" on page 7 "Install the software for a network connection" on page 14 What you need for a wired network Before you connect the HP All-in-One to a network, make sure you have all of the required materials. ❑ A functional Ethernet network that includes a router, switch, or hub with an Ethernet port. ❑ CAT-5 Ethernet cable. Although standard Ethernet cables look similar to standard telephone cables, they are not interchangeable. There is a different number of wires in each one, and each has a different connector. An Ethernet cable connector (also called 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. ❑ A desktop computer or laptop with an Ethernet connection. NOTE: The HP All-in-One supports both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps Ethernet networks. If you are purchasing, or have purchased, a network interface card (NIC), make sure it can operate at either speed. 6 Network setup Network setup
