2. If Necessary, Set Switches or Jumpers on Your Card

If You Have a Token Ring Card

Token Ring networks operate at
4 Mbps or 16 Mbps. You must set
the Data Rate switch on the card to
either 4 or 16, depending on your
network. If you don’t know, ask your
network administrator. The factory
default is 16 Mbps.

If You Have a 10/100Base-TX Card

The 10/100TX card is preconfigured
for Autonegotiation (jumper P1),
which means the card will
automatically attempt to connect to
your network using the proper speed
(10 or 100 Mbps) and duplex mode
(Full or Half). In most cases, you do

not need to change the jumper
settings. Refer to Appendix A

Control Panel Configuration

Introduction

In most cases, you will use HP software tools to configure your
network printer. However, if your HP printer or Mopier has a
control panel, you can configure basic network parameters through
the printer’s control panel. Printers with control panel support
include:

●

HP LaserJet 4000, 4050, 5000, 8000, and 8100 Series EIO
printers

●

HP Color LaserJet 4500, 8500, 8550 Series EIO printers

●

HP Mopier 240 and 320 Series EIO Mopiers

●

HP DesignJet 1050C and 1055CM Series EIO printers

Note To configure HP JetDirect parameters on

HP DesignJet 1050C/1055CM Series printers
through the printer’s front control panel, see
your HP DesignJet setup guide.

For printers without control panels (for example,
HP LaserJet 2100 Series EIO printers), you must
use HP software tools for configuration.

You can use the printer control panel to do the following:

●

Enable or disable network protocols

●

Configure IPX frame types

●

Configure IPX source routing for Token Ring networks

●

Configure TCP/IP parameters

●

Configure Apple EtherTalk Phase parameters for Ethernet
networks

Control Panel Configuration 3-1

After you have configured the HP JetDirect card through the control
panel, you may still need to complete the configuration of your
computer and network operating system for printing. For more
information, see the HP JetDirect software installation
instructions included with this product.

If you reconfigure the card—for example, you disable a network
protocol—your configuration is saved on the card and is maintained
even after the printer is turned off and back on again.

To Restore Configuration Default Val ue s

You can restore default values by performing a cold reset on your
printer. See your printer documentation for instructions. (Note: To
perform a cold reset on some HP LaserJet printers, turn off the
printer and then hold down [Go] as you turn the printer back on.)

Resetting your printer restores both your printer and JetDirect
configuration to their factory default values. To verify HP JetDirect

default values have been reset, print a JetDirect configuration page
(see chapter 2

).

To Enable or Disable Network Protocols

When you first install the card from the factory, all supported
network protocols are enabled (or turned on) when you turn the
printer on. If a network protocol is enabled, the card may actively
transmit on the network even when the protocol is not in use. This
may increase network traffic slightly. To eliminate unnecessary
traffic, you can disable unused protocols. Disabling unused
protocols lets you:

●

reduce network traffic by eliminating broadcast messages from
unused protocols (for example, IPX/SPX and TCP/IP).

●

provide better control over who prints to the printer by
eliminating users from other networks who might accidentally
route print jobs to this printer.

3-2 Control Panel Configuration

●

eliminate unnecessary information on the JetDirect
Configuration Page, which displays status information
for all enabled protocols.

●

display protocol-specific error conditions on the printer’s control
panel. These warning messages are displayed only if all enabled
protocols are unable to print.

To enable or disable network protocols

1. Take the printer offline by pressing [Go]. The “Ready” LED
should be off.

2. Press [Menu] repeatedly until EIO # JETDIRECT MENU is displayed
(# identifies the EIO slot number of the card).

3. Press [Item] until CFG NETWORK=NO* appears.

NO* indicates that access to the EIO JetDirect network menus

will be bypassed. You must change this to CFG NETWORK=YES* to
access the EIO JetDirect menus:

a. Press [Value]. CFG NETWORK=YES appears.

b. Press [Select]. CFG NETWORK=YES* appears.

4. Press [Item] to scroll through each network protocol until the one

you want to change is displayed.

To change the protocol status, press

IPX/SPX=ON*

DLC/LLC=ON*

TCP/IP=ON*

ETALK=ON*

Note:

ON* indicates the protocol is enabled.

OFF* indicates the protocol is disabled.

“ETALK” refers to the EtherTalk protocol (not available on Token Ring
cards)

Configuring IPX Frame Types

On IPX/SPX protocol networks (for example, Novell NetWare), the
format of network communication frames must be specified on the
card. In most cases, you can keep the default Frame Type setting,
which is AUTO (“Automatic”). However, you can manually set the
frame type format if required.

Note that the IPX/SPX protocol must be enabled (IPX/SPX=ON*)
before you can configure frame types.

IPX Frame Types on an HP JetDirect Ethernet Card

Frame Type Description

AUTO (default) Automatically senses and limits the frame type to the first

one detected.

EN_8023 Limits the frame type to IPX over IEEE 802.3 frames. All

Configuring IPX Source Routing
(Token Ring Cards Only)

On an IPX/SPX network, the HP JetDirect Token Ring print server
must be configured with the type of Token Ring source routing used
on the network. In most cases, you can keep the default setting,
which is AUTO (“Automatic”). However, you can manually set
source routing if required.

Note that the IPX/SPX protocol must be enabled (IPX/SPX=ON*)
before you can configure source routing.

The possible routing selections are:

Source Routing Description

AUTO (default) The type of source routing required by the network

environment will be automatically sensed.

OFF All packets are sent without source routing. The JetDirect

card will only respond to stations that are on the same
ring.

SINGLE R All packets are sent with source routing. The Single Route

method is used for broadcasts and when the route is
unknown.

ALL RT All packets are sent with source routing. The All Routes

method is used for broadcasts and when the route is
unknown.

HP Web JetAdmin Compatibility

HP Web JetAdmin is a printer installation and management
application for intranets and is available from the HP Customer
Care Center web site (www.hp.com/support/net_printing).

HP Web JetAdmin version 5.6 or later is recommended for operation
with the HP JetDirect embedded web server.

If your printer has been discovered through HP Web JetAdmin 5.6
(or later), the embedded web server on the JetDirect print server
will provide a link to HP Web JetAdmin for management of this and
other JetDirect devices on the network.

4-2 Using the Embedded Web Server

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.

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 printer is turned on. Or,
you can manually configure IP parameters using one of the
following methods:

●

the Install Network Printer wizard on the HP JetDirect CD-ROM

●

the printer’s control panel (see chapter 3),

●

Telnet (see the HP JetDirect administrator’s guide supplied
electronically on the HP JetDirect CD-ROM),

●

Using the TCP/IP “arp -s” command,

●

HP Web JetAdmin or other management software.

If the HP JetDirect print server does not receive it’s IP configuration
within two minutes after power up, a default IP address is
automatically assigned: 192.0.0.192. This address is not a valid
IP address for your network but can be used to initially access the
JetDirect print server. However, to use the default IP address, you
must temporarily set up your system with the same IP network
number or establish a route to it.

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

1. Run a supported version of your web browser.

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

The HP JetDirect main web page will be displayed.

HP J3113A 10/100Base-TX Print Server

Supported Links

HP J3113A 10/100 Base-TX print servers support 10 or 100 Mbps
operation using full-duplex or half-duplex transmission channels.

When connecting to network devices that do not support
autonegotiation, the print server will configure itself for 10-Mbps
or 100-Mbps half-duplex operation. For example, when connected
to a non-negotiating 10 Mbps hub, the print server card will
automatically set itself to operate at 10-Mbps half-duplex.

If the card is not able to connect to the network through
autonegotiation, you can manually set the link operating mode
using link configuration jumpers (P1, P2, and P3) on the card.

Link-Speed LEDs

The HP J3113A print server provides 2 light-emitting diodes
(LEDs) near the RJ-45 connector. These LEDs indicate the
operating link speed of the print server.

LEDs

HP J3113A 10/100Base-TX Print Server A-1

Link Configuration Jumper Settings

Link configuration jumpers (P1, P2, and P3) can be used to configure
the card. These jumpers should be used if the card is unable to
establish a network link through autonegotiation. If P1 is changed
to the AUTO=OFF position, then P2 selects the link speed (10 or
100 Mbps) and P3 selects the communication mode (Half duplex or
Full duplex). If you manually configure the card using jumpers P2
and P3, you must match the configuration of the connecting device,
such as the network hub or switch.

Link Troubleshooting

If the HP J3113A print server does not successfully connect to the
network:

●

both link speed LEDs (10 and 100) will be off

●

a “LOSS OF CARRIER ERROR” will be indicated on the
JetDirect Configuration Page.

Note The HP J3113A 10/100Base-TX print server may

require up to 10 seconds to establish a connection
on the network.

Try the following troubleshooting procedures:

●

Verify cabling connections.

●

Use jumpers P1, P2, and P3 to manually configure the print
server. Verify that the configuration of the connecting network
device (such as a network switch) matches. For example, if you
set the print server for 100Base-TX Full-Duplex operation, the
port on the network switch must also be set to 100Base-TX
Full-Duplex operation. Be sure to power-cycle the printer.

●
