Link configuration methods

The printer can usually configure itself automatically to communicate over a network. Otherwise, you can configure it manually.

It supports 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps network link speeds using full-duplex or half-duplex communication modes (a 1000T half-duplex selection is not supported).

When connecting to network hubs and switches that do not support auto-negotiation, the printer will configure itself for 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps half-duplex operation. For example, when connected to a non-negotiating 10 Mbps hub, the print server will automatically set itself to operate at 10 Mbps half-duplex.

If the printer cannot connect to the network through auto-negotiation, you can set the link setting by one of the following methods:

  • The front panel

  • The Embedded Web Server

  • The Telnet interface, through a system command prompt

  • A TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) configuration file that is downloaded, for example, from a BootP or DHCP server

  • Network management tools such as HP Web Jetadmin
