HP Web Jetadmin

Embedded Web Server

HP Digital Sending Software (HP DSS)
HP Web Jetadmin
HP Web Jetadmin is a simple print and imaging peripheral management software tool that helps optimize product use, control color costs, secure products, and streamline supplies management by enabling remote configuration, proactive monitoring, security troubleshooting, and reporting of printing and imaging products.
To download a current version of HP Web Jetadmin and for the latest list of supported host systems, visit
www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin.
When installed on a host server, a Windows client can gain access to HP Web Jetadmin by using a supported Web browser (such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer) by navigating to the HP Web Jetadmin host.
Embedded Web Server
The product is equipped with an Embedded Web Server, which provides access to information about product and network activities. This information appears in a Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox.
The Embedded Web Server resides on the product. It is not loaded on a network server.
Supported utilities for Windows
11
The Embedded Web Server provides an interface to the product that anyone who has a network­connected computer and a standard Web browser can use. No special software is installed or configured, but you must have a supported Web browser on your computer. To gain access to the Embedded Web Server, type the IP address for the product in the address line of the browser. (To find the IP address, touch the Network Address button on the Home screen.)

HP Digital Sending Software (HP DSS)

You can install the optional HP Digital Sending Software. This software runs as a service on a network server and allows multiple products to send jobs through the server. It is not necessary to install any software or drivers on individual users' computers. For information about compatible versions of HP DSS and to purchase the software, see
www.hp.com/go/dss.

Supported network protocols

The product supports the TCP/IP network protocol, the most widely used and accepted networking protocol. Many networking services utilize this protocol. The following tables list the supported networking services and protocols.
Table 3-1 Network device discovery
Service name Description
SLP (Service Location Protocol) Device-discovery protocol, used to help find and configure
network devices. Used primarily by Microsoft-based programs.
Table 3-2 Messaging and management
Service name Description
HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) Allows Web browsers to communicate with the Embedded
Web Server.
EWS (Embedded Web Server) Allows you to manage the product through a Web browser.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Used by network applications for product management.
SNMP v1, SNMP v3, and standard MIB-II (Management Information Base) objects are supported.
LLMNR (Link Local Multicast Name Resolution) Specifies if the product responds to LLMNR requests over IPv4
and IPv6.
TFTP Configuration Use TFTP to download a configuration file containing
additional configuration parameters, such as SNMP or non­default settings, for Jetdirect Inside (JDI).
12 Chapter 3 Administration - Configure the product
Table 3-3 IP addressing
Service name Description
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) For automatic IPv4 and IPv6 address assignment. The DHCP
server provides the product with an IP address. Generally, no user intervention is required for the product to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server.
BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) For automatic IP address assignment. The BOOTP server
provides the product with an IP address. Requires the administrator to input a product's MAC hardware address on the BOOTP server for the product to obtain an IP address from that server.
Auto IP For automatic IP address assignment. If neither a DHCP server
nor a BOOTP server is present, the product uses this service to generate a unique IP address.
Manual For manual IP address assignment. Requires the administrator
to manually assign a static IP address.
Table 3-4 Security features
Service name Description
IPsec/Firewall Provides network-layer security on IPv4 and IPv6 networks. A
firewall provides simple control of IP traffic. IPsec provides additional protection through authentication and encryption protocols.
SNMP v3 Employs a user-based security model for SNMP v3, which

traffic to and from the product. This protocol provides the benefits of encryption and authentication and allows for multiple configurations.
Supported e-mail protocols
13
SMTP
SMTP is a set of rules that define the interaction between programs that send and receive e-mail.
In order for the product to send documents to e-mail, it must be connected to a LAN that has access to an e-mail server that supports SMTP. The SMTP server must also have Internet access.
If you are using a LAN connection, contact your system administrator to obtain the IP address or
host name for your SMTP server. If you are connecting through a DSL or cable connection, contact the internet service provider to obtain the SMTP server IP address.
LDAP
LDAP is used to gain access to a database of information. When the product uses LDAP, it
searches a global list of e-mail addresses. As you begin to type the e-mail address, LDAP uses an auto-complete feature that supplies a list of e-mail addresses that match the characters you type. As you type additional characters, the list of matching e-mail addresses becomes smaller.
The product supports LDAP, but a connection to an LDAP server is not required in order for the
product to be able to send to e-mail.
NOTE: If you need to change the LDAP settings, you must change them using the Embedded
Web Server.

Basic configuration using the Administration menu

You can use the Initial Setup application to complete this subset of configuration tasks if you have not disabled Initial Setup on the Home screen: set language settings, configure date and time format, set date and time, and access the E-mail Setup Wizard.

CAUTION: If you change the link setting, network
communications with the Jetdirect server and network product might be lost.
Auto (default): The Jetdirect server uses auto-
negotiation to configure itself with the highest link speed and communication mode allowed. If auto­negotiation fails, either the 100TX Half value or the
10T Half value is set depending on the detected link
speed of the hub/switch port. (A 1000T half-duplex selection is not supported.)
10T Half: 10 Mbps, half-duplex operation.
