Parameter Description
static key (a hexadecimal or alphanumeric string). Every user or
device on the network shares the same key. WEP encryption is
used along with shared key authentication, using the same key for
both authentication and encryption.
A network using server-based (WPA-PSK) authentication provides
significantly stronger security, and is supported in most wireless
access points and wireless routers. The access point or router
verifies the identity of a user or device requesting access to the
network before granting that access. Several different
authentication protocols might be used on an authentication server.
Note Shared key and WPA-PSK authentication can only be
entered through the Embedded Web Server.
Encryption The type of encryption in use on the network:
●
None: no encryption is in use.
● 64-bit WEP: a 5-character or 10-hex-digit WEP key is in use.
● 128-bit WEP: a 13-character or 26-hex-digit WEP key is in use.
● WPA-AES: Advanced Encryption Standard encryption is in
use. This is an encryption algorithm for securing sensitive but
unclassified material by US Government agencies.
● WPA-TKIP: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol, an advanced
encryption protocol, is in use.
● Automatic: AES or TKIP is in use.
● Not applicable: this parameter does not apply to this network
type.
WEP aims to provide security by encrypting data over radio waves
so that it is protected as it is transmitted from one end point to
another. This security method is common on wireless networks.
Access Point
HW Address The hardware address of the access point on the network to which
the HP All-in-One is connected:
●
<MAC address>: the unique MAC (media access control)
hardware address of the access point.
● Not applicable: this parameter does not apply to this network
type.
Miscellaneous
The following table describes the data transmission and receipt information shown on
the network configuration page.

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
