An error code and message is displayed if the print server is not ready. For more information, see Error messages.
IP ADDRESS
IPv4 address assigned to the HP Jetdirect print server. This is a required entry for operation of the print server on a TCP/IP network. During initialization, a temporary value 0.0.0.0 is displayed. After two minutes, a default IP address 169.254/16 or 192.0.0.192 is assigned.
Not Specified IP address is not assigned or the value is zero.
SUBNET MASK
IPv4 subnet mask configured on the HP Jetdirect print server. During initialization, a temporary value 0.0.0.0 is displayed. Depending on configuration parameters, the print server can automatically assign a usable default value.
Not Specified Subnet mask is not configured.
DEFAULT GATEWAY
IPv4 address of the gateway used when sending packets off the local network. Only one default gateway can be configured. During initialization, a temporary value 0.0.0.0 is displayed. If not provided, the IP address of the HP Jetdirect print server is used.
Not Specified Default gateway is not configured.
CONFIG BY:
Indicates how the HP Jetdirect print server obtained its IPv4 configuration:
BOOTP Automatic configuration through a BOOTP server.
BOOTP/TFTP Automatic configuration through a BOOTP server and TFTP configuration file.
DHCP Automatic configuration through a DHCP server.
DHCP/TFTP Automatic configuration through a DHCP server and TFTP configuration file.
RARP Automatic configuration through the RARP.
USER SPECIFIED Manual configuration through Telnet, the printer’s control panel, HP Web Jetadmin, embedded Web server, or other method.
DEFAULT IP Default IP address was assigned. This address might not be a valid address for your network.
AUTO IP Link-local IP address (169.254.x.x) was assigned. If the network is a link-local network, this address should be valid.
NOT CONFIGURED Not configured with IP parameters. Verify that TCP/IP is enabled, or check for error status.
BOOTP SERVER
or
DHCP SERVER
or
RARP SERVER
Displayed if BOOTP, DHCP, or RARP is used for TCP/IP configuration. Specifies the IP address of the system that responds to the HP Jetdirect print server’s request for automatic TCP/IP configuration over the network.
Not Specified Configuration server’s IP address could not be determined or was set to zero in the response packet.
BOOTP/DHCP SERVER
Displayed during initialization while the HP Jetdirect print server attempts to obtain its TCP/IP configuration from a BOOTP or DHCP server. The temporary address displayed is 0.0.0.0.
TFTP SERVER
IP address of the system where the TFTP configuration file is located. During initialization, the temporary address 0.0.0.0 is displayed.
Not Specified TFTP server is not set.
WEB JETADMIN URL
If the HP Jetdirect print server is found on the network by HP Web Jetadmin, the URL of the host system used for HP Web Jetadmin services is displayed. The URL is limited to two lines and can be truncated.
Not Specified HP Web Jetadmin host system URL could not be identified or is not set.
BONJOUR SERVICE NAME
Name assigned to this device or service. This name is persistent and is used to resolve a particular device or service if socket information (such as the IP address) changes from session to session. Apple Bonjour displays this service. The default service name is the printer model and the LAN hardware (MAC) address.
