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.

ad hoc A wireless network that does not use an access point.

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.

autoIP A feature of the installation software, which determines the configuration

parameters of devices on the network.

DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A server on the network that

supplies configuration parameters to devices on the network. On small

networks, this could be a router.

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.

DSL Digital Subscriber Line. A high-speed connection to the Internet.

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.

EWS Embedded Web Server. A browser-based utility that provides a simple

way to manage your HP all-in-one. You can monitor status, configure

HP all-in-one networking parameters, or access HP all-in-one features.

For more information, see Use the Embedded Web Server.

HEX Hexidecimal. The base 16 numbering system, which uses the digits 0-9

plus the letters A-F.
