Network setup Chapter 2 (continued) Parameter Subnet Mask Default Gateway Configuration Source DNS server Link Configuration Description 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. 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, unless you have already set a manual ip address. The protocol used to assign the IP address to the HP All-in-One: ● AutoIP: The installation software automatically determines the configuration parameters. ● DHCP: The configuration parameters are supplied by a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server on the network. On small networks, this could be a router. ● Manual: The configuration parameters are set manually, such as a static IP address. ● Not Specified: The mode used when the HP All-in-One is initializing. The IP address of the domain name service (DNS) for the network. 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. ● IP Address: The IP address of the domain name server. ● Not Specified: The IP address is not specified, or the device is initializing. Note Check to see if a DNS IP address appears on the network configuration page. If no address is shown, obtain the DNS IP address from your Internet service provider (ISP). The speed at which data is transmitted over a network. Speeds include 10TX-Full, 10TX-Half, 100TX-Full, and 100TX-Half. When set to None, networking is disabled. 28 HP Photosmart C6100 All-in-One series
