Config Precedence tab

Specify the order of precedence of the print server configuration methods. For example, to ensure that IPv4 parameters configured by a TFTP server cannot be overwritten by a manual configuration method (such as the printer control panel, Telnet, or embedded Web server), you can indicate that TFTP takes precedence over manual configuration.

The factory-default precedence order is indicated in the following table.

TCP/IP Config Precedence tab

Item	Description
Configuration Methods	Precedence of the configuration methods. The default precedence order is shown, where manual configuration has the highest priority. To change the order of the list, select an entry and use the up or down arrows to move it. Manual Use the printer control panel, Telnet, embedded Web server, installation and management software. TFTP Use a TFTP file from a TFTP server, typically identified during a BootP/DHCP configuration. DHCP/Bootp Use a BootP or DHCPv4 server. DHCPv6 Use a DHCPv6 server. Default: Factory default configuration.
Reset to default scheme	Reset the precedence table to the default sequence.
Reinitialize Now	Save the new precedence table, clear the configuration method to its factory-default setting, and restart the IP stack.
Clear Previous Values and Reinitialize Now	Save the new precedence table, clear the configuration method to its factory-default setting, clear current TCP/IP parameter settings, and restart the IP stack.
Apply Cancel	Click Apply to save the changes to the Configuration Methods precedence table. Depending on the changes made, you might need to turn the print server Off/On to implement. Click Cancel to cancel your changes to the precedence table. CAUTION: Clicking Cancel does not reverse changes made by the Reinitialize Now or Clear Previous Values and Reinitialize Now buttons.

Example: To set all parameters configured through DHCP to Read-only, and allow manual configuration only of parameters that are not configured through DHCP, use the following steps:
