10/100Base-TX Link Configuration

Introduction

HP J6057A (615N) or J4169A (610N) 10/100Base-TX print servers support 10 or 100 Mbps operation using full-duplex or half-duplex transmission channels. By default, the print server will attempt to autonegotiate its link operation.

When connecting to network hubs and switches 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 one of the following methods:

● the printer’s control panel (if it has one). See Appendix A for more

information.

● the embedded web server running on the Jetdirect print server.

● accessing the Telnet interface on the Jetdirect print server.

● using a TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) file downloaded, for

example, from a BootP or DHCP server.

Note The HP J6057A/J4169A 10/100Base-TX print

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

3-24 10/100Base-TX Link Configuration

ENWW

Try the following troubleshooting procedures:

●

Verify cabling connections.

● Configure the print server’s 10/100TX link setting directly (for

example, using the EIO menu on the printer’s control panel). 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. Power-cycle the printer to reinitialize the setting.

● On the Jetdirect Configuration Page, compare your configuration

for the following parameters:

Parameter Expected Messages for 10/100TX Cards

PORT SELECT: RJ-45 PORT CONFIG: 100TX HALF, 100TX FULL, 10BASE-T HALF,

Network Configuration Notes

Introduction

The HP Jetdirect print server can simultaneously support multiple network communication protocols. This allows network computers that may be using different protocols to communicate with the same printer.

Each protocol on the print server may require some configuration before the printer can communicate on the network using that protocol. For some protocols, it’s easy; as long as the protocol is enabled, required parameters are automatically sensed and user-specified settings are not needed. However, for other protocols, there may be many parameters to configure.

Enabling or Disabling Network Protocols

When you first install the Jetdirect print server from the factory, all supported network protocols are enabled (or turned on) whenever you turn the printer on.

If a network protocol is enabled, the card may actively transmit on the network even when there are no computers on the network that use the protocol. 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.

ENWW

A-27

●

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 Restore Factory Default Values

You can restore the Jetdirect print server to factory 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.)

CAUTION A cold reset of your printer may restore both your

printer and Jetdirect print server to their factory default values. (For Jetdirect factory default values, see the applicable HP Jetdirect Administrator’s Guide supplied electronically on the HP Jetdirect

CD-ROM.)

To verify HP Jetdirect default values have been reset, print a Jetdirect configuration page (see Chapter 2

A-28

ALL ROUTES and SINGLE ROUTES: All packets are sent with source routing (broadcasts, and when the route is unknown)

ATALK ENABLE (Ethernet/Fast Ethernet only)

ON: Enable the AppleTalk protocol OFF: Disable the AppleTalk protocol

DLC/LLC ENABLE ON: Enable the DLC/LLC protocol

OFF: Disable the DLC/LLC protocol

LINK SPEED

Selects the network link speed and communication mode for the 10/100TX print server. For proper communications, the Jetdirect settings must match the network.

AUTO: (Default) The print server will automatically configure itself to match the network’s link speed and communication mode.

10T HALF: 10Mbps, half-duplex operation. 10T FULL: 10 Mbps, full-duplex operation. 100T HALF: 100 Mbps, half-duplex operation 100T FULL: 100 Mbps, full-duplex operation

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 set the frame type format if required.

Note that the IPX/SPX protocol must be enabled before you can configure frame types.

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 set the source routing if required.

Note that the IPX/SPX protocol must be enabled before you can configure source routing.

Configuring TCP/IP Parameters

The card must be configured with a valid IP address to operate on a TCP/IP network. If not configured, a default value 192.0.0.192 will be automatically assigned two minutes after the card is turned on.

BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) or DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) operation depends on the print server model:

● 615N/610N: You can enable either BOOTP or DHCP. Enabling

BOOTP results in BOOTP-only operation, while enabling DHCP results in DHCP-only operation.

● 600N: Enabling BOOTP allows BOOTP or DHCP operation.

If an IP address is configured through DHCP and is subsequently changed through the control panel, the DHCP assigned address is released. In this case, you should also manually reconfigure other TCP/IP parameters as well (such the subnet mask, default gateway and idle timeout) to ensure a proper configuration.

Configuring Apple EtherTalk Phase Parameters (600N Ethernet Cards Only)

Note For HP J6057A 615N or J4169A 610N print servers,

the AppleTalk phase parameter is set to phase 2 and is not configurable.

You can configure Apple EtherTalk parameters if the Apple EtherTalk protocol is enabled, and the PostScript printer language is enabled.

To ensure the PostScript printer language is enabled, check the printer’s configuration. The printer personality should be set to PostScript or Auto.
