Embedded Web server
. You can browse to the embedded Web server on the HP Jetdirect print
server to set configuration parameters. For more information, see
HP Jetdirect Embedded Web
Server (V.34.xx)
.
●
Printer Control Panel
. (For printers that support Jetdirect control panel menus) You can manually
enter the configuration data using the printer control panel keys. The control panel method allows
you to configure only a limited subset of configuration parameters. Therefore, control panel
configuration is recommended only during troubleshooting or for simple installations. If control
panel configuration is used, the print server saves the configuration when powered off/on. For more
information, see “
Using the Printer Control Panel
”.
Using BOOTP/TFTP (IPv4)
BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) and TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) provide a convenient way to
automatically configure the HP Jetdirect print server for TCP/IPv4 network operation. When powered
on, the Jetdirect print server sends a BOOTP request message onto the network. A properly configured
BOOTP server on the network will respond with a message that contains basic network configuration
data for the Jetdirect print server. The BOOTP server's response may also identify a file that contains
extended configuration data for the print server. The Jetdirect print server downloads this file using
TFTP. This TFTP configuration file may be located on the BOOTP server, or a separate TFTP server.
BOOTP/TFTP servers are typically UNIX or Linux systems. Windows 2000/Server 2003 and NetWare
servers can respond to BOOTP requests. Windows 2000/Server 2003 servers are configured through
Microsoft DHCP services (see
Using DHCP (IPv4)
). However, Windows 2000/Server 2003 systems may
require third-party software for TFTP support. For setup of NetWare BOOTP servers, refer to your
NetWare documentation.
NOTE
If the Jetdirect print server and BOOTP/DHCP server are located on different subnets,
IPv4 configuration may fail unless the routing device supports “BOOTP Relay” (allows the transfer
of BOOTP requests between subnets).
Why Use BOOTP/TFTP?
Using BOOTP/TFTP to download configuration data has the following benefits:
●
Enhanced configuration control of the HP Jetdirect print server. Configuration by other methods,
such as a printer control panel, are limited to select parameters.
●
Ease of configuration management. Network configuration parameters for the entire network can
be in one location.
●
Ease of HP Jetdirect print server configuration. Complete network configuration can be
automatically downloaded each time the print server is powered on.
NOTE
BOOTP operation is similar to DHCP, but the resulting IP parameters will be the same
when powered off/on. In DHCP, IP configuration parameters are leased and may change over
time.
When in its factory-default state and powered on, the HP Jetdirect print server will attempt to
automatically configure itself using several dynamic methods, one of which is BOOTP.
