the destination address as well as the data.

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
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-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.
