Network connection
This section describes how to connect the HP All-in-One to a network and how to view and manage network settings.
Set up the HP All-in-One on an integrated wireless (WLAN 802.11) network
The HP All-in-One uses an internal networking component that supports a wireless network.
For optimal performance and security in your wireless network, HP recommends you use a wireless router or access point (802.11) to connect the product and the other network elements. When network elements are connected through a wireless router or access point, this is called an infrastructure network.
12 Connection information
The advantages of a wireless infrastructure network as compared to an ad hoc network include:
- Advanced network security
- Enhanced reliability
- Network flexibility
- Better performance
- Shared Broadband Internet access
| Connectioninformation |
What you need for an integrated wireless WLAN 802.11 network
To connect the HP All-in-One to an integrated wireless WLAN 802.11 network, you will need the following:
- A wireless 802.11 network that includes a wireless router or access point.
- A desktop computer or laptop with either wireless networking support, or a network interface card (NIC). The computer must be connected to the wireless network that you intend to install the HP All-in-One on.
- Broadband Internet access (recommended) such as cable or DSL.
If you connect the HP All-in-One on a wireless network that has Internet access, HP recommends that you use a wireless router (access point or base station) that uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
- Network name (SSID).
- WEP key or WPA Passphrase (if needed).
- A standard USB cable to connect temporarily for transferring wireless settings.
Connect to an integrated wireless WLAN 802.11 network
The HP Photosmart Software CD and included USB setup cable provide an easy way to connect the HP All-in-One to your wireless network.
Network connection 13
Chapter 4
| Connectioninformation |
CAUTION: To prevent other users from accessing your wireless network, HP strongly recommends using a password or passphrase (WPA or WEP security) and a unique network name (SSID) for your wireless router. Your wireless router might have been shipped with a default network name, which is typically the manufacturer name. If you use the default network name, your network can be easily accessed by other users using the same default network name (SSID). It also means that the HP All-in-One might accidently connect to a different wireless network in your area which uses the same network name. If this happens you will not be able to access the HP All-in-One. For more information on how to change the network name, see the documentation that came with your wireless router.
To connect the product
- Insert the product Software CD in the computer CD-ROM drive.
- Follow the instructions on the screen.
When you are prompted, connect the product to the computer using the USB setup cable included in the box. The product will attempt to connect to the network. If the connection fails, follow the prompts to correct the problem, and then try again.
- When the setup is finished, you will be prompted to disconnect the USB cable and test the wireless network connection. Once the product connects successfully to the network, install the software on each computer that will use the product over the network.
