AUTO IP
MANUAL
|
Specifies the method that TCP/IPv4 parameters will be configured on the HP Jetdirect print server.
Use BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) for automatic configuration from a BootP server.
Use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) for automatic configuration from a DHCPv4 server. If selected and a DHCP lease exists, DHCP RELEASE and DHCP RENEW menus are available to set DHCP lease options.
Use AUTO IP for automatic link-local IPv4 addressing. An address in the form 169.254.x.x is assigned automatically.
If you set this option to MANUAL, use the MANUAL SETTINGS menu to configure TCP/IPv4 parameters.
|

MANUAL SETTINGS
|
IP ADDRESS
SUBNET MASK
DEFAULT GATEWAY
|
(Available only if CONFIG METHOD is set to MANUAL) Configure parameters directly from the product control panel:
IP ADDRESS: The unique IP address (n.n.n.n) of the product, where n is a value from 0 to 255.
SUBNET MASK: The subnet mask (n.n.n.n) for the product, where n is a value from 0 to 255.
DEFAULT GATEWAY: The IP address of the gateway or router used for communications with other networks.

Specify the IP address to default to when the print server is unable to obtain an IP address from the network during a forced TCP/IP reconfiguration (for example, when manually configured to use BootP or DHCP).
note:
This feature assigns a static IP address that might interfere with a managed network.
AUTO IP: A link-local IP address 169.254.x.x is set.
LEGACY: The address 192.0.0.192 is set, consistent with older HP Jetdirect products.

Specifies the proxy server to be used by embedded applications in the product. A proxy server is typically used by network clients for Internet access. It caches Web pages, and provides a degree of Internet security, for those clients.
To specify a proxy server, enter its IPv4 address or fully-qualified domain name. The name can be up to 255 octets.
For some networks, you might need to contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) for the proxy server address.

DIAGNOSTICS
|
EMBEDDED TESTS
| | |
This menu provides tests to help diagnose network hardware or TCP/IP network connection problems.
Embedded tests help to identify whether a network fault is internal or external to the product. Use an embedded test to check hardware and communication paths on the print server. After you select and enable a test and set the execution time, you must select EXECUTE to initiate the test.
Depending on the execution time, a selected test runs continuously until either the product is turned off, or an error occurs and a diagnostic page is printed.
|
| |
LAN HW TEST
|
YES
NO*
|
caution:
Running this embedded test will erase your TCP/IP configuration.
This test performs an internal loopback test. An internal loopback test will send and receive packets only on the internal network hardware. There are no external transmissions on your network.
Select YES to choose this test, or NO to not choose it.
|
| |
HTTP TEST
|
YES

NO*
|
This test checks operation of SNMP communications by accessing predefined SNMP objects on the product.
Select YES to choose this test, or NO to not choose it.
|
| |
DATA PATH TEST
|
YES
NO*
|
This test helps to identify data path and corruption problems on an HP postscript level 3 emulation product. It sends a predefined PS file to the product, However, the test is paperless; the file will not print.
Select YES to choose this test, or NO to not choose it.
|
| |

LINK SPEED
| | |
AUTO*
10T HALF
10T FULL
100TX HALF
100TX FULL
100TX AUTO
1000TX FULL
|
The link speed and communication mode of the print server must match the network. The available settings depend on the product and installed print server. Select one of the following link configuration settings:
caution:
If you change the link setting, network communications with the print server and network product might be lost.
AUTO: The print server uses auto-negotiation to configure itself with the highest link speed and communication mode allowed. If auto-negotiation fails, either 100TX HALF or 10T HALF is set depending on the detected link speed of the hub/switch port. (A 1000T half-duplex selection is not supported.)
10T HALF: 10 Mbps, half-duplex operation.
10T FULL: 10 Mbps, Full-duplex operation.
100TX HALF: 100 Mbps, half-duplex operation.
100TX FULL: 100 Mbps, full-duplex operation.
100TX AUTO: Limits auto-negotiation to a maximum link speed of 100 Mbps.
1000TX FULL: 1000 Mbps, full-duplex operation.
