HP Photosmart C6340 All-in-One Printer - Manual (Page 48)

Parameter Description
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.
Total Packets
transmitted 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 All-in-One is turned
off. When a message is transmitted over a packet-switching network, it is
broken up into packets. Each packet contains the destination address as well
as the data.
Total Packets
received 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-in-One 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 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 products. 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
product 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 product.
NOTE: The address of the default gateway is assigned by the installation
software.
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.
