HP 7200 - Manual (Page 146)

Parameter Description
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
install 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).
mDNS Rendezvous is used with local and ad hoc networks that don't use
central DNS servers. To perform name services, Rendezvous
uses a DNS alternative called mDNS.
With mDNS, your computer can find and use any HP All-in-One
connected to your local area network. It can also work with any
other Ethernet-enabled device that appears on the network.
