HP Photosmart 3310 All-in-One Printer - Manual (Page 84)

Parameter Description
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.
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).
