Using IPv6 protocols, IPv6 addresses are typically configured automatically on the print server,
although manual configuration is available. For basic information on IPv6 addresses, see
TCP/IP
Configuration .
Using IPv4 protocols, there are many ways to configure an IPv4 address on the print server. For
example, you can automatically configure IP parameters over the network using BOOTP (Bootstrap
Protocol) or DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) each time the print server is turned on. Or,
you can manually configure IP parameters using the printer's control panel (for selected printers with
internal print servers), Telnet, the “arp” and “ping” commands, HP Web Jetadmin or other
management software. For more information on TCP/IP configuration options, see
TCP/IP
Configuration .
When powered on, an HP Jetdirect print server that is unable to retrieve a valid IP address from the
network will automatically assign itself either a legacy default IPv4 address 192.0.0.192 or a link-local
address in the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. The IP address configured on your print
server can be determined by inspecting the Jetdirect configuration page for the print server. See
TCP/
IP Configuration for more information.
If the legacy default IPv4 address 192.0.0.192 has been assigned, you must temporarily set up your
computer with the same IP network number or establish a route to the print server before you can
gain access to the embedded Web server.
To access the embedded Web server, perform the following steps:
1 Run a supported Web browser.
2 Enter the IP address or fully qualified domain name of the print server as the URL.
NOTE For browsers that support direct IPv6 addresses, an IPv6 address is typically
enclosed in brackets ([ ]).

Unlike prior HP Jetdirect print servers, a factory-default HP Jetdirect 635n print server is pre-
configured as a secure site, using an X.509-compliant certificate installed on the print server for
