Note For Mac, wireless network support is usually provided by an AirPort
card.
❑
Broadband Internet access (recommended) such as cable or DSL.
If you connect your HP All-in-One on a wireless network that has Internet access,
HP recommends that you use a wireless router (access point or base station) that
uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
Note Broadband Internet access is required if you want to access
HP Instant Share directly from the device.
❑
Network name (SSID).
❑
WEP key or WPA Passphrase (if needed).
Connect to a wireless infrastructure network
The Wireless Setup Wizard provides an easy way to connect the HP All-in-One to
your network. In addition, if your access point has either Secure EzSetup or Windows
Connect Now Technology (Windows XP Service Pack 2), the process is even easier.
See the documentation that came with your access point to find out if your access
point supports either of these features. For additional setup instructions using
EzSetup or Windows Connect Now, see the printed documentation that came with
your access point.
Caution To prevent other users from accessing your wireless network, HP
strongly recommends to use a password or passphrase and to use a unique
SSID to your access point. Your access point might have been shipped with a
default SSID, which can be accessed by other users using the same default
SSID. For more information on how to change the SSID, see the
documentation that came with your access point.
To connect the HP All-in-One with the Wireless Setup Wizard
1. Write down the following information about your access point:
– Network Name (also called SSID)
– WEP Key, WPA Passphrase (if needed)
For easy reference, you can write this information in this book. If you do not know
where to find this information, see the documentation that came with your
wireless access point. You might be able to find the SSID, and the WEP key or
WPA passphrase, on the Embedded Web Server (EWS) for the access point. For
information on how to open the access point EWS, see the access point
documentation.
Note For Mac users: If the network is set up with an Apple AirPort base
station and you are using a password instead of WEP HEX or WEP ASCII
to access this network, you need to get the equivalent WEP key. See the
documentation that came with the Apple AirPort base station for more
information.
2. On the control panel of your HP All-in-One, press the Setup button.
3. Press
until Network is highlighted, then press OK.
