Using a Wireless Network and Bluetooth Devices

Your HP TouchSmart PC is designed to support a wireless local area network (LAN) and wireless
connections with other Bluetooth devices.

Setting up a wireless local area network

Your home LAN may consist of a wired or a wireless network that you can use to connect your
HP TouchSmart PC to other devices on the network, including other computers. The network components
may include a hub or a switch, which can connect multiple devices to the network, or a router, which can
connect computers or a broadband Internet connection to the network. This network connection also
enables you to share data, and printers or other devices among your computers. The network connection to
the Internet is usually through a broadband (DSL or cable) modem, which may require a separate
subscription.

For more information, see “Connecting to the Internet.”

Using Bluetooth devices

Bluetooth devices create a personal area network (PAN) to connect other Bluetooth devices such as
computers, phones, printers, headsets, speakers, and cameras. In a PAN, each device communicates
directly with the other devices, and the devices must be relatively close together.

Connecting to the Internet

For Internet connectivity (optional), use wireless LAN, or connect an Ethernet cable for a wired LAN
connection:

 For a wireless LAN, the HP TouchSmart PC includes a built-in wireless LAN, which you can use to

access your wireless home network. The HP TouchSmart PC is also Bluetooth enabled, so you can
connect all kinds of wireless devices. See “Using Bluetooth devices.”

 For a wired LAN, connect an Ethernet cable (sold separately) to the Ethernet connector on the back

of the HP TouchSmart PC, and then connect the other end to the network router or cable modem.

NOTE: Broadband modem and router installation procedures vary based on manufacturer. Follow
manufacturer instructions.

To set up your Internet connection, the following items are needed:

 Broadband modem (DSL or cable) with high-speed Internet service purchased from your Internet

service provider (ISP)

 Wireless or wired router (sold separately)

 Computer connection: wired or wireless

 Wired uses Ethernet cable (sold separately) from computer to network router or cable modem.

 Wireless uses the computer built-in antenna.

Setting up a network and the HP TouchSmart PC

First time wireless network installation requires that you:

1 Purchase high-speed Internet service.

2 Purchase and install a wireless router.

3 Configure the HP TouchSmart PC to connect to the wireless network.

4 Add your wired computer or devices to the network (optional).

Purchase high-speed Internet service

If you already have high-speed Internet service (DSL or cable), skip to “Purchase and install a wireless
router.”

If you do not have high-speed service, proceed with the steps below.

1 Contact a local ISP to purchase high-speed Internet service and a DSL or cable modem. The ISP will

help set up the modem, install an data cable to connect the modem to the service, and test the service.
If the ISP provides a single device that acts as both a modem and a wireless router, you can proceed
to “Purchase and install a wireless router.”

2 Your ISP will give you a user ID and password to access the Internet through its service. Record this

information.

NOTE: HP recommends that you protect your HP TouchSmart PC from Internet viruses by installing a
firewall and using anti-virus software that is updated regularly. For more information about using security
software, go to Help and Support. Click Start on the taskbar, click Help and Support. Type Firewall or
Anti-virus software into the search box and press the Enter key.

Purchase and install a wireless router

Read through these steps before you install the wireless router using the router manufacturer’s instructions
and your computer. If you need technical assistance during the router installation, contact the router
manufacturer.

1 Many wireless routers are shipped with a default network name (SSID) and security disabled. The

router manufacturer’s software allows you to change the SSID and enable security to protect the
privacy of your wireless network. If you change the default SSID or enable security during the router
setup, record the information. You need this information when you configure your computer and any
other existing computers to access the router.

2 The most common security levels are WPA-Personal and WEP. Some router manufacturers amy provide

additional security levels. If you enable router security, record the password and security key. The
password may be called an encryption key, passphrase, or pre-shared key.

3 Locate and use the wireless router manufacturer’s instructions to install the wireless router. After you

complete the router installation, return to these steps.

4 Test your wireless router setup by opening the Web browser and accessing any Web site. Do not

continue until you have successfully accessed a Web site.

HP TouchSmart PC and the computers you want to add to your network.

2 For each wired computer, connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the LAN connector on the computer,

and then connect the other end of the cable to any available Ethernet connector on the wireless router.

About touch screen technology

Conventional touch screens, such as in airport check-in terminals or cash registers in a restaurant use a
touch overlay sensor material which requires a physical press to register the touch. This type of touch
screen has a limited in-use life. Such an overlay also impairs the image quality.

In contrast, the HP TouchSmart PC touch screen uses a sensitive optical technology which registers a touch
just before the finger or stylus actually touches the surface. This optical touch technology does not have an

overlay and is designed to have a longer in-use life.

NOTE: Any moving object, such as an insect, that makes contact with the touch screen, may register as a
valid touch.

Because this optical technology is sensitive, HP recommends that you handle your touch screen with care.

Please review the following cautions:

CAUTION: Because you HP TouchSmart touch screen uses a sensitive optical technology, do not
apply pressure on the front of the display or around the screen borders to avoid damaging
the touch screen.

CAUTION: Keep the screen clean from foreign objects to achieve the best touch sensitivity.
Avoid excessive dust accumulation on all sides of the border of the screen. See “Cleaning the
HP TouchSmart PC Screen” on page 23.

CAUTION: Like any other home electronic products, please keep the HP TouchSmart PC away
from liquids or a harsh environment that contains excessive dust, heat, or humidity.
