2 Choose a recommended wireless
network
Use this chapter to help you identify what kind of wireless network you already have in
place or want to set up. Each network shown in this chapter uses a wireless access
point to connect the network elements. A network connected in this manner is called an
infrastructure network.
If you want a wireless connection between your HP all-in-one and your computer
without using a wireless access point, see Connect to a wireless network without an
access point.
For Ethernet (wired) networks, see Choose a recommended Ethernet network.
Note For definitions of terms not defined here, see the Glossary.
A wireless router (also known as an access point) manages the network connections
and a DSL or cable modem is used to provide Internet access. If you have this
configuration, use the wireless setup wizard to connect your HP all-in-one to the router
in infrastructure mode. For connection instructions, see Connect to a wireless network
with an access point.
With this configuration, you are able to access the full functionality of your HP all-in-
one, including sharing pictures over the Internet with HP Instant Share.
All wireless communication between your network devices goes through an access
point (or base station). The access point acts as a central hub or gateway connecting
wireless devices. Each wireless network device must have an adapter that connects it
to the access point. This network configuration does not have Internet access. For
connection instructions, see Connect to a wireless network with an access point.
Note In order to use the HP Instant Share features on your HP all-in-one, you will need
broadband Internet access, such as cable or DSL. For more information about
HP Instant Share, see the printed User Guide that came with your HP all-in-one.
8
Wireless connection to a wired network
Your access point connects a wireless network to a wired network. In this model, your
computer is configured for wired networking and is connected with an Ethernet cable to
the access point. Your HP all-in-one is configured for infrastructure mode and its
wireless adapter transfers and receives data through the access point. A DSL or cable
modem can provide Internet access. For connection instructions, see Connect to a
wireless network with an access point.
10
3 Choose a recommended
Ethernet network
Use this chapter to help you identify what kind of Ethernet network you already have in
place or want to set up. Each network shown here uses a device, such as an Ethernet
router, to connect the network elements. A network connected in this manner is called
an infrastructure network. An Ethernet network provides superior performance,
reliability, and network security.
Ethernet networks might or might not be connected to the Internet. If you place your
HP all-in-one on an Ethernet network connected to the Internet, it is recommended that
you use a gateway so that the HP all-in-one’s IP address is assigned dynamically
through Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). A gateway can either be a
router or a Windows computer running Internet Connection Sharing (ICS).
For wireless networks, see Choose a recommended wireless network.
Note For definitions of terms not defined here, see the Glossary.
We recommend the wired LAN (local area network) configurations below to support
your HP all-in-one.
In this example, a router manages the network connections, and a DSL or cable modem
provides Internet access. If you use this configuration, connect your HP all-in-one to the
router with an Ethernet cable.
With this configuration, you are able to access the full functionality of the HP all-in-one,
including sharing pictures over the Internet . For connection instructions, see Connect
with an Ethernet cable.
Computer gateway
In this example, the network devices are connected to a switch or router. A computer on
the network acts as the gateway between the network and the Internet. The gateway
computer uses Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) or similar software to
manage the network connections and provide Internet access to the other devices.
Note If the computer acting as a gateway is turned off, the other computers on the
network will lose their Internet connection. The HP all-in-one will not support
Internet-related functions.
If you use this configuration, connect your HP all-in-one to the switch or router with an
Ethernet cable. For connection instructions, see Connect with an Ethernet cable.
In this example, the network devices are connected to a switch or router, and a modem
(shown here connected to the computer on the left) provides Internet access. The
modem is connected to the computer using a phone cord and jack. Only one computer
has Internet access. Neither the HP all-in-one nor any of the other computers on the
network have access to the Internet. If you use this configuration, connect your HP all-
in-one to the switch or router with an Ethernet cable. For connection instructions, see
Connect with an Ethernet cable.
Note In order to use the HP Instant Share features on your HP all-in-one, you will need
broadband Internet access, such as cable or DSL. For more information about
HP Instant Share, see the printed User Guide that came with your HP all-in-one.
12
Ethernet connection to a wired network without Internet
In this example, the network devices are connected to a switch or router, and there is no
Internet connection. Devices use AutoIP, which means IP addresses are configured
automatically. If you have this configuration, connect your HP all-in-one to the switch or
router with an Ethernet cable. For connection instructions, see Connect with an
Ethernet cable.
Note In order to use the HP Instant Share features on your HP all-in-one, you will need
broadband Internet access, such as cable or DSL. For more information about
HP Instant Share, see the printed User Guide that came with your HP all-in-one.
Your access point connects a wired device to a wireless network. In this model, your
computer is configured for wireless networking using a wireless network adapter, and
transfers and receives data through the access point. Your HP all-in-one is configured
for wired networking and is connected with an Ethernet cable to the access point. A
DSL or cable modem can provide Internet access. For connection instructions, see
Connect with an Ethernet cable.
Note In this configuration, we recommend that you route the Internet connection
directly through the access point using an Ethernet cable.
14
4 Connect to a wireless network
with an access point
Use this chapter if you want to use a wireless (802.11b or g) access point to connect
your HP all-in-one and the other network elements. When network elements are
connected through an access point, this is called infrastructure mode.
The benefits of using an access point include:
● advanced network security
● enhanced reliability
● network flexibility
● better performance, especially with 802.11 g mode
For ideas on ways you can set up a wireless network using an access point, see
Wireless connection networks.
For wireless setup without an access point, see Connect to a wireless network without
an access point.
Note For definitions of terms not defined here, see the Glossary.
To connect your HP all-in-one to your computer, first see the next section for the things
you will need. When you are finished connecting your HP all-in-one, you will need to
install the software as described in Install the software.
built-in Ethernet (wired network) port. For a wired connection, you might have to
purchase a longer Ethernet cable than the one provided.
● Broadband Internet access (recommended). If you connect your HP all-in-one on a
wireless network that has Internet access, we recommend that you use a wireless
router (access point or base station) that uses Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP).
Broadband Internet access is required if you want to access HP Instant Share
directly from the device. For more information on HP Instant Share, see the printed
User Guide that came with your HP all-in-one.
Note For Macintosh 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. Your network
administrator can get the equivalent WEP key by running the AirPort Admin
utility.
Note You must enter the exact uppercase (capital) and lowercase (small)
letters. Otherwise, the wireless connection will fail.
c When you are finished entering the new SSID, use the arrow buttons to
highlight Done on the visual keyboard, and then press OK.
d Press 1 to select the infrastructure mode..

5 Connect to a wireless network
without an access point
Use this chapter if you want to connect your HP all-in-one to a computer on a wireless
network without using an access point. This is sometimes called a peer-to-peer or ad
hoc network. On Macintosh networks, this is called a computer-to-computer network.
Note This type of connection is available if you do not have an access point. However,
it provides little flexibility, a low level of network security, and slower network
performance than with an access point. In addition, you will likely not have
shared broadband access (such as cable or DSL), and therefore not be able to
use the HP Instant Share feature on your HP all-in-one. For information on
connecting your HP all-in-one using an access point, see Connect to a wireless
network with an access point.
To connect your HP all-in-one to your computer, see the next section for the things you
will need. Then follow the steps in the remaining sections to do the following:
● prepare your computer
● create a wireless network profile on your computer

If there is a long distance between your computer and the HP all-in-one, move them
closer together. If possible, provide a clear path between the computer and print
server, and minimize sources of radio interference. Devices such as cordless
phones and microwave ovens may also cause radio interference.
Cause
Setup has either detected multiple networks or has been unable to read or verify
the network name from the access point.
Solution
Select a new network name (SSID).
● In the Select Network Name screen, select an existing network name from the
list. Up to 12 SSIDs might be listed. The SSIDs are detected when the internal
networking component boots up.
Cause
You might not have the correct wireless authentication or encryption type selected.
You might be using an unsupported authentication or encryption type.
38
Solution
Add encryption security to your network. For information, see Add security to the
network.
Cause
Your SSID or WEP key might be set incorrectly.
Solution
You can use either the Embedded Web Server or the control panel to change the
SSID or WEP.
Cause
You are using an authentication protocol not supported by the installation
software.
Solution
Use one of the supported protocol types listed in the Embedded Web Server.
Types not supported include: WPA2-AES, WPA2-TKIP, LEAP, PEAP, EAP-MD5,
EAP-TLS, or EAP-TTLS.
Cause
Your network uses multiple WEP keys, and you have chosen the wrong key for
transmitting.
Solution
Choose the correct WEP key using the Embedded Web Server. For information,
see Add security to the network
Setup failed
Cause
The HP all-in-one is not receiving a signal.
Solution
In order to establish a good signal between the HP all-in-one and access point
(infrastructure) or computer (ad hoc), you might have to experiment a bit. Assuming
the equipment is functioning properly, try doing the following things separately or in
combination:
● If there is a long distance between your computer or access point and the
HP all-in-one, move them closer together. Also, be aware that the HP all-in-
one broadcasts to the front, back and above. Therefore, do not place an
access point directly below the HP all-in-one. If the HP all-in-one is on the
second floor of a two-story house, and you must put the access point on the
first floor, place the HP all-in-one and access point on opposite ends of the
house or as far apart laterally as possible.
● If there are objects in the transmission path, clear the path between the
HP all-in-one and the computer or access point.
● If a cordless telephone, microwave, or other device that emits radio signals is
nearby, move it farther away to reduce radio interference.

a Configuration page definitions
This appendix explains the items that appear on the network configuration page.
Parameter Description
Note You will need to know this URL when you try to access the
Embedded Web Server.
Hardware The Media Access Control (MAC) address that uniquely identifies the
Address (MAC) HP all-in-one. This is a unique 12-digit identification number assigned to
networking hardware for identification. No two pieces of hardware have the
same MAC address.
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.
Firmware The internal networking component and device firmware revision code
Revision separated by a hyphen.
Note If you call in for support, depending on the problem, you might be
asked to provide the firmware revision code.
Hostname The TCP/IP name assigned by the install software to the device. By default,
this is the letters HP followed by the last 6 digits of the MAC address.
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 It is recommended that the HP all-in-one and the computers that use
it all reside on the same subnet.
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 domain name server's IP address.
● Not Specified: the IP address is not specified, or the device is
initializing.
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.
Admin Status of the administrator's password for the Embedded Web Server:
Password ● Set: password is specified. You must enter the password to make
changes to the Embedded Web Server parameters.
● Not Set: no password is set. A password is not required for making
changes to the Embedded Web Server parameters.

● 100TX-Half: for wired network.
● None: networking is disabled.
Parameter Description
Network Name Service Set Identifier. A unique identifier (up to 32 characters) that
(SSID) differentiates one wireless local area network (WLAN) from another. The
SSID is also referred to as the network name. This is the name of the
network to which the HP all-in-one is connected.
Channel The channel number currently being used for wireless communication. This
depends on the network in use, and might differ from the requested channel
Note In ad hoc mode, if you are not able to receive or transmit data
between your computer and the HP all-in-one, make sure that you are
using the same communication channel on your computer and the
HP all-in-one. In infrastructure mode, the channel is dictated by the
access point.
52
(continued)
● 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 The hardware address of the access point on the network to which the
Address 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.
Parameter Description
Total Packets The number of packets transmitted by the HP all-in-one without error since it
transmitted 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.

b Glossary
802.11b or g Signalling protocols for wireless networks. 802.11g was developed more
recently and provides more advanced functionality.
access point Also known as a wireless router, an access point provides a secure and
flexible connection for your HP all-in-one and other network elements. A
wireless network with an access point is called an infrastructure network.
ASCII American Standard Code for Information Interchange. The standard for
numbers used by computers to represent all the uppercase and lowercase
Latin letters, numbers, punctuation, etc.
authentication A network security method that verifies the identity of a user or device
before granting access to the network, making it more difficult for
unauthorized users to access network resources. This security method is
common on wireless networks.
DNS Domain Name Service. 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.
DNS-SD See DNS. The SD portion stands for Service Discovery. This is part of a
protocol developed by Apple that enables automatic discovery of
computers, devices, and services on IP networks.
Ethernet The most common local network technology that connects computers
using copper cabling.
Ethernet cable The cable used to connect network elements in a wired network. The
CAT-5 Ethernet cable is also known as a straight-through cable. When
using an Ethernet cable, the network elements must be attached to a
router. The Ethernet cable uses an RJ-45 connector.
HEX Hexidecimal. The base 16 numbering system, which uses the digits 0-9
plus the letters A-F.
IP address A number that 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.
MAC address Media Access Control (MAC) address that uniquely identifies the HP all-
in-one. This is a unique 12-digit identification number assigned to
networking hardware for identification. No two pieces of hardware have
the same MAC address.
RJ-45 connector The connector on the ends of an Ethernet cable. Although standard
Ethernet cable connectors (RJ-45 connectors) look similar to standard
telephone cable connectors, they are not interchangeable. An RJ-45
connector is wider and thicker and always has 8 contacts on the end. A
phone connector has between 2 and 6 contacts.
router A router provides a bridge between two or more networks. A router can
link a network to the Internet, link two networks and connect both to the
Internet, and help secure networks through the use of firewalls and
assigning dynamic addresses. A router can also act as a gateway, while a
switch cannot.
switch A switch makes it possible for several users to send information over a
network at the same time without slowing each other down. Switches allow
different nodes (a network connection point, typically a computer) of a
network to communicate directly with one another.
WEP key The passkey for Wired Equivalent Privacy encryption, which provides a
first level of security against casual eavesdroppers.
WPA Password or The password for Wi-Fi Protected Access. The passkey is 8 to 63
Passkey characters long, including spaces. WPA provides security by verifying the
identity of a user or device before granting access to the network, making
it more difficult for unauthorized users to get at network resources. This
security method is common on wireless networks.
