Click Test to test the connection to the OPS Server and make sure port 8081 is open.
Figure 4-7 SNMP settings
In the SNMP section, set the Get and Set community names for communication to and from devices. The Get community name allows the server to retrieve device and tracking data from a configured device. The Set community name allows the server to send information to the device, such as a reboot command. By default,
8 Chapter 4 Settings tile
the Get and Set community names are “public”. For communication between the server and devices, the Get and Set community names on the server must match the Get and Set community names on all devices.
NOTE: The SNMP section displays if Job Accounting, Device Analysis, Agent, or Secure Pull Print Express is
installed on the server.
In the Trap level field, select the type of traps you want to track with Direct Tracking Module (DTM). A trap is a packet of information provided by the printer that indicates basic job information and print job status.
Print Confirmation traps is the default Trap level. With Print Confirmation traps selected, only printed job traps are sent from the device. This is used to reduce the network traffic with unwanted traps.
All traps are to track all jobs, printed, copied, or digitally sent. Some versions of HP JetDirect require that All traps mode is selected.
The UDP port field is the port used by the trap service. By default, the trap service uses UDP port 162. If the port is used by another application or service on the same server, the Job Accounting Trap service can use another port. If the port is changed, the Job Accounting Trap service (HPACJA_SnmpTrap) needs to be stopped and restarted. Printers also need to be reconfigured using the new port.
The Filter Delay is used if JetDirect sends the same trap multiple times in a very short interval. This occurs on external JetDirect 300x and 500x. The delay value can be set to 50 ms for 300x and 500x. For other devices, the default value can remain at 0.
In the Concurrent connections section, set the number of network devices you want to install and configure at one time. The maximum number of concurrent connections allowed is 50.

Section 4.4 IIS tab 11
Figure 4-12 IIS tab
NOTE: The IIS tab displays if Job Accounting, Agent, IPM, Secure Pull Print, Secure Pull Print Enterprise, or
Secure Pull Print Express is installed.
Figure 4-13 Web service settings
The Web service is used for the following:
For multi-function devices to communicate with the Job Accounting website to determine quotas for copies and digital sending jobs
To send IPM notifications to client desktops
For users to access Pull Printing jobs from a printer, mobile device or web page
For the server to communicate with the IRM license website
For central management of printer fleets. When multiple servers are entered in the Web service settings and when devices are configured in the Devices tile, a dropdown list displays in the Configure window, allowing you to select the server you want to configure the device to. From one central server, you can configure printers to be managed by a different server.
The Server name and Server IP fields display the name and IP address of the server containing the Quota, IPM, and Pull Printing web services. Make sure the information is correct to allow for communication between the web service and client desktops or devices. To add additional servers, enter the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the additional server in the Server name column and enter the IP address of the server in the
12 Chapter 4 Settings tile
IP column. Click the Test button to test the connection. The Status column should display OK. Then click Apply.
Click the Encrypt all web communication (devices) checkbox if you want to enable the HTTPS protocol for communications between devices and the server.
Click the Use server name instead of IP (devices) checkbox for one or both of the following reasons:
If the server name was entered during the installation and configuration of the OPS server. See the HP Access Control (HP AC) Install Guide for more information about the installation of the OPS server.
If the web service security feature Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) is enabled on FutureSmart devices. To pull print at the device with Secure Pull Print Express, make sure the server name is added to the CORS Trusted Sites list. To use tracking at the device with Job Accounting, make sure the server name is listed in the CORS Trusted Sites list. To pull print at the device with Secure Pull Print, make sure "localhost" is listed in the CORS Trusted Sites list.
Figure 4-14 CORS trusted sites
NOTE: If OPS is configured on the server and you want to change the configuration of OPS to use the server
name or the server IP address, follow the steps below:
1. Close the HP Access Control (HP AC) configuration tool.
2. Navigate to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Hewlett-Packard\OPS\config folder and open the ops.cfg file in a
text editor application. After “host=”, enter the server IP address or servername.domain.com, where servername is the name of the server, and domain is the name of the domain. Save and close the file.
3. Navigate to the C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\HP Access Control folder and delete the OPS certificate file.
4. Go to Administrative Tools > Services and restart the OPS service. Restarting the OPS service creates a new OPS certificate using the server name or server IP address.
5. Open the HP Access Control (HP AC) configuration tool. Go to the Settings tile > Device tab and verify that the OPS certificate file name and the OPS server field contain the server name or server IP address.
Section 4.4 IIS tab 13
Click Test to test the connection to the web service.
The Agent license service section allows you to assign a different server to handle licensing for IRM. This must be done before devices are configured.

Apply.
Figure 4-15 Agent license service settings
In the Push mode section, select a transfer protocol to auto-upload, or push, IPA tracking data from configured devices to the job accounting server.
Figure 4-16 Push mode
NOTE: The Push mode section displays if Agent or the standalone Job Accounting Print Server is installed.
In the HTTP/FTP field, select one of the transfer protocols:
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) connections are usually terminated after a particular request has been completed. If HTTP is selected, Windows credentials are required in the Login and Password fields. Also, if IIS 7 or newer is installed on the server, Basic Authentication needs to be enabled. Devices require Basic Authentication to pass data via HTTP when IPA sends tracking data to the Job Accounting Print Server. The default port is 80.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is best for uploading data to an internal database server. If FTP is selected, any credentials can be used in the Login and Password fields. By default, the login and password are “Anonymous”. The default port is 21. Select the PASV checkbox to enable passive mode FTP if you want to allow data to transfer more easily through firewalls.
The Interval (minutes) field determines how often tracking data is pushed from devices to the job accounting server.
Click Test to test the HTTP or FTP connection.
The IPM authentication section contains credential fields to allow access to the IPM web service to retrieve user grouping information (user grouping is setup in the Settings tile > IPM tab > User grouping section). Windows credentials must be entered in the Login and Password fields.
