TCP/IP

The table below describes the TCP/IP parameters.

TCP/IP Item	Description
IP Configuration Method	Selects the method that the HP Jetdirect print server will receive its IP configuration parameters: BOOTP (default), DHCP, or Manual. For BOOTP or DHCP, the IP parameters will be automatically configured by a BOOTP or DHCP server each time the print server is powered on. By selecting Manual , basic IP parameters can be manually entered using this Web page or by using other available tools.
Host Name	Specifies a readable IP name (the SNMP SysName object) for the network device. The name must start with a letter and can end in a letter or number, up to 32 ASCII characters.
IP Address	Use this field to manually assign the Internet Protocol address on the HP Jetdirect print server. The IP address is a four byte (32-bit) address in the form "n.n.n.n", where “n�? is a number from 0 to 255. An IP address uniquely identifies a node on a TCP/IP network. Duplicate IP addresses on a TCP/IP network are not allowed.
Subnet Mask	If subnetting is used, use this field to manually assign a subnet mask. A subnet mask is a 32-bit number that, when applied to an IP address, determines which bits specify the network and subnet, and which bits uniquely specify the node.
Default Gateway	Identifies the IP address of a router or computer that is used to connect to other networks or subnetworks.
Domain Name	Specifies the name of the Domain Name System (DNS) domain that the HP Jetdirect print server resides in (for example, support.hp.com). It does not include the host name--it is not the Fully Qualified Domain Name (such as printer1.support.hp.com).
Primary WINS Server	Specifies the IP address of the primary Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) server. The WINS server provides IP address and name resolution services for network computers and devices.
Secondary WINS Server	Specifies the IP Address to be used for WINS if the Primary WINS server is unavailable.
TCP/IP Item	Description
Syslog Server	Specifies the IP address of a host computer that has been configured to receive syslog messages from the HP Jetdirect print server. If a Syslog server is not specified, syslog messages are not sent.
Syslog Maximum Messages	Specifies the maximum number of syslog messages that can be sent by the HP Jetdirect print server on a per-minute basis. This setting allows administrators to control the log file size. The default is 10 per minute. If the value is set to zero, no maximum number is defined.
Syslog Priority	Controls the filtering of syslog messages that are sent to the syslog server. The filter range is 0 to 8, with 0 being the most specific and 8 being the most general. Only messages that are lower than the filter level specified (that is, higher in priority) are reported. The default value is 8, which reports all syslog messages. A value of zero effectively disables syslog reporting.
Idle Timeout	Specifies the number of seconds that an idle connection is allowed to remain open. Up to 3600 seconds can be set. 270 is the default value. If set to 0, the timeout is disabled and TCP/IP connections will remain open until closed by the other node (such as a workstation) on the network.
TTL/SLP	Specifies the IP Multicast Time To Live (TTL) discovery setting for Service Location Protocol (SLP) packets. The default value is 4 hops (the number of routers from the local network). The range is 1-15. If set to -1, the IP multicast capability is disabled.
System Contact	Identifies a person who is assigned to administer or service this device. This field may include a phone number or similar information. When configured, this parameter will be displayed on the HP Jetdirect Home page.
System Location	Specifies the physical location of the device or related information. Only printable ASCII characters are allowed, up to 64 characters. When configured, this parameter will be displayed on the HP Jetdirect Home page.
Banner Page	Specifies whether to enable or disable printing of an LPD banner page for print jobs. For HP Jetdirect external print servers that provide multiple ports, each port can be configured individually. For internal print servers, only a single port is available (Port 1).

IPX/SPX

These parameters can be set on the HP Jetdirect for operation on a Novell NetWare or IPX/SPX-compatible network (such as a Microsoft network).

The table below describes the IPX/SPX parameters.

IPX/SPX Item	Description
IPX/SPX Enable	Enables or disables the IPX/SPX protocols on the HP Jetdirect print server. If the checkbox is empty, IPX/SPX is disabled.
IPX/SPX Frame Type	Specify the Novell NetWare frame type to be used by the HP Jetdirect print server. After a frame type has been configured, all others will be counted and discarded. AUTO (default) senses all frame types and configures the first one detected. EN_8023 limits the frame type to IPX over IEEE 802.3 frames. EN_II limits the frame type to IPX over Ethernet frames. EN_8022 limits the frame type to IPX over IEEE 802.2 with IEEE 802.3 frames. EN_SNAP limits the frame type to IPX over SNAP with IEEE 802.3 frames. TR_8022 limits the frame type to IPX over IEEE 802.2 LLC with IEEE 802.5 frames. TR_SNAP limits the frame type to IPX over SNAP with IEEE 802.5 frames.
SAP Interval	Specifies the time interval (in seconds) that the HP Jetdirect print server waits to send Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) messages, which are broadcast to advertise its service capabilities on a Novell NetWare network. To disable SAP messages, use the value "0".
Print Server Name	Specify a NetWare printer name for the HP Jetdirect print server (alphanumeric characters only). The default name is NPIxxxxxx, where xxxxxx are the last six digits of the HP Jetdirect print server's LAN hardware (MAC) address.
NDS Tree Name	Specify the name of the NDS tree for this device. The NDS (Novell Directory Services) tree name refers to the name of the organizational tree used by the network. To disable NDS support, leave this field blank.
NDS Context	To disable NDS support, leave this field blank. The print server's NDS context refers to the NDS container or organizational unit that contains the print server object. Print queue and device objects can be located anywhere within the NDS tree, but the HP Jetdirect print server must be configured with the fully qualified print server object name. For example, if the print server object is found in the container "marketing.mytown.lj", the print server context name is: OU=marketing.OU=mytown.O=lj" (where OU is an Organization Unit container and O is an Organization container within the NDS tree). The Jetdirect will also accept marketing.mytown.lj NOTE: The embedded Web server cannot create NDS objects. They can be created using NWAdmin.
Job Poll Interval	Specifies the time interval (seconds) that the HP Jetdirect print server will wait to check for print jobs in a print queue.
PJL Configuration	For Printer Job Language (PJL) parameters, enable (check) or disable (clear) the parameters provided: Banner Pages (for printing separator pages between print jobs) End-Of-Job Notification (if received from the printer, an end-of-job message will be forwarded to a client application) Toner Low Notification (if received from the printer, the HP Jetdirect print server will forward a "toner low" message to a client application)

AppleTalk

Using the checkbox provided, enable (check) or disable (clear) the AppleTalk protocol on the HP Jetdirect print server. If AppleTalk is enabled, AppleTalk parameter settings stored on the print server are displayed.

Only external Jetdirect print servers will have an option to change the AppleTalk name.

DLC/LLC

Using the checkbox provided, enable (check) or disable (clear) the DLC/LLC protocols on the HP Jetdirect print server. If the checkbox is clear, DLC/LLC protocols are disabled.

SNMP

The table below describes the SNMP parameters.

SNMP Item	Description
Set Community Name	An SNMP Set Community Name is a password to be able to configure (or "write" to) SNMP control functions on the HP Jetdirect print server. An incoming SNMP SetRequest must contain a community name that matches the one stored on the print server before the print server will respond. The community name must be ASCII characters and can be up to 255 characters long. The default community name is 'public'.
Get Community Name	An SNMP Get Community Name is a password that allows, "read" access to SNMP information on the HP Jetdirect print server. The community name must be ASCII characters and can be up to 255 characters long. The default community name is 'public'.

FTP Printing	Enable or disable File Transfer Protocol services available on the HP Jetdirect print server for printing.
LPD Printing	Enable or disable the Line Printer Daemon services on the HP Jetdirect print server. LPD on the HP Jetdirect print server provides line printer spooling services for TCP/IP systems.
IPP Printing	Enable or disable the Internet Printing Protocol on the HP Jetdirect print server. If the printer is properly connected and accessible, IPP allows printing to this device over the Internet (or intranet). A properly configured IPP client system is required.
Email (SMTP) Server	Specify the IP address of the preferred outgoing e-mail Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) server, for use with supported Scan devices.
DNS Server	Specify the IP Address of the DNS (Domain Name System) server.
Locally Administered Address	Token Ring only. Specify the LAA to be used on a Token Ring network
Syslog Facility	Specify the encoded source facility of a message (for example, to identify the source of selected messages during troubleshooting). By default, the HP Jetdirect print server uses LPR as the source facility code, but local user values of local0 through local7 can be used to isolate individual or groups of print servers.
Dynamic Raw Port Setting	Allows additional ports to be specified for printing to TCP port 9100. Valid ports are 3000 to 9000, which are application dependent.

Admin Password

Use this to set an Administrative password on the Jetdirect in order to control access to configuration and status information through the Jetdirect's embedded Web server or through Telnet. Once set, any user attempting to access the HP Jetdirect embedded Web pages or Telnet menu will have to enter the user name and password.

Access Control

Use this to create a host access list on the HP Jetdirect print server. A host access list specifies individual host systems (i.e., computers), or networks of host systems, that will be allowed to access the print server and the attached network device. Up to 10 entries can be included on the host access list. If the list is empty (no hosts are listed), any supported system can access the print server.

Individual host systems, or groups of host systems, are specified by their IP addresses or network number. If the network contains subnets, a "mask" may be used to identify whether the IP address designates an individual host system or a group of host systems.

To clear all entries in the host access list, enable the Clear Allow Table checkbox and click Apply .

To add an entry into the host access list, use the IP address and Mask fields to specify a host, then click Apply .

The table below gives examples of host access list entries:

IP Address	Mask	Description
192.0.0.0	255.0.0.0	Allow all hosts with network number 192.
192.1.0.0	255.1.0.0	Allow all hosts on network 192, subnet 1.
192.168.1.2		Allow the host with IP address 192.168.1.2. In this case, the mask 255.255.255.255 is assumed and is not a required entry.
