Printing a network configuration report
You can identify the network settings of your machine by printing a network configuration report.
See "Printing a network configuration report" on page 55.
Configuring the machine’s wireless network
Before starting you will need to know the network name (SSID) of your wireless network and the
network key if it is encrypted. This information was set when the access point (or wireless router)
was installed. If you do not know about your wireless environment, please ask the person who set
up your network.
To configure wireless parameters, you can use HP Embedded Web Server.
Using HP Embedded Web Server
Before starting wireless parameter configuration, check the cable connection status.
1 Check whether or not the network cable is connected to the machine. If not, connect the
machine with a standard network cable.
2 Start a web browser such as Internet Explorer, Safari, or Firefox and enter your machine’s
new IP address in the browser window.
For example,
3 Click Login on the upper right of the HP Embedded Web Server website.
4 If it’s your first time logging into HP Embedded Web Server you need to log-in as an
administrator. Type in the below default ID (admin). We recommend you to set the default
password for security reasons.
5 When the HP Embedded Web Server window opens, click Network Settings.
