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.
Ethernet connection to a wired network with DSL or cable
Internet access
If your network has DSL or cable Internet access, you can use either a router or a
computer as the Internet gateway. With either DSL or cable, you are able to access the
full functionality of your HP all-in-one, including sharing pictures over the Internet with
HP Instant Share.
Router gateway
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.
