Network setup (continued) Parameter Total Packets transmitted Total Packets received Description The number of packets transmitted by the HP All-in-One without error since it has been turned on. The counter clears after the HP Allin-One is turned off. When a message is transmitted over a packetswitching network, it is broken up into packets. Each packet contains the destination address as well as the data. The number of packets received by the HP All-in-One without error since it has been turned on. The counter clears after the HP All-inOne is turned off. Wireless (802.11) network settings The following table describes the 802.11 wireless 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 wireless access points, routers, and other such devices. No two pieces of hardware have the same MAC address. Two MAC addresses are assigned: one for wired Ethernet and one for wireless 802.11. 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. Note Manually assigning an invalid IP address during installation will prevent your network components from seeing the HP All-inOne. 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. Basics Guide 29

Wireless (802.11) network settings

The following table describes the 802.11 wireless 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 wireless access

points, routers, and other such devices. No two pieces of hardware

have the same MAC address. Two MAC addresses are assigned:

one for wired Ethernet and one for wireless 802.11.

Note

Some Internet service providers (ISPs) require that you

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.

Note

Manually assigning 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.
