Wired (802.3) network settings The following table describes the 802.3 wired settings shown on the network configuration page. Parameter Hardware Address (MAC) Description The Media Access Control (MAC) address that identifies the HP Photosmart. 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 Photosmart. 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 Photosmart IP address bits identify the network and subnet, and which bits identify the device itself. NOTE: It is recommended that the HP Photosmart 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, unless you have already set a manual ip address.

Parameter
Description
Hardware
Address (MAC)
The Media Access Control (MAC) address that identifies the HP Photosmart.
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 Photosmart.
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 Photosmart IP
address bits identify the network and subnet, and which bits identify the device
itself.
NOTE:
It is recommended that the HP Photosmart 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, unless you have already set a manual ip address.
