Parameter Description
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, unless you have already set a manual ip
address.
Configuration
Source
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.
DNS server 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).
Link
Configuration
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.
