(continued) Parameter Firmware Revision Hostname Admin Password mDNS Description The internal networking component and device firmware revision code. Note If you call HP Support, depending on the problem, you might be asked to provide the firmware revision code. The 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. Status of the administrator's password for the Embedded Web Server: ● Set: Password is specified. You must enter the password to make changes to the Embedded Web Server parameters. ● Not Set: No password is set. A password is not required for making changes to the Embedded Web Server parameters. Some local and ad hoc networks do not use central DNS servers. They use a DNS alternative called mDNS. 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. Network setup 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 Allin-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. Basics Guide 27
