ENWW Using the Embedded Web Server 93

Viewing the Embedded Web Server

Before you can use the embedded Web server, the HP Jetdirect print

server must be configured with an IP address. For a description of

an IP address and an overview of TCP/IP networking, see

Appendix A

There are many ways to configure an IP 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, Telnet, the “arp” and “ping” system

commands, HP Web Jetadmin or other management software. For

more information on TCP/IP configuration options, see Chapter 3

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 IP 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

Chapter 3

for more information.

If the legacy default IP 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.

After an IP address is established on the print server, perform the

following steps:

1. Run a supported Web browser.

2. Enter the IP address of the print server as the URL.

3. If prompted with security alerts, click Yes to proceed.
