Opening the HP Embedded Web Server

Use the following procedure to open the HP Embedded Web Server.

Note

You cannot view the HP Embedded Web Server screens from outside of a firewall.

1Open a supported Web browser.

2In the Address or Go to field, type the Internet protocol (IP) address that is assigned to the product (for example, http://192.168.1.1) or the host name (for example, npi[XXXXXX] or a configured host name such as http://www.[your_server].com).

If you do not know the IP address for the product, you can find it on the Configuration page. See the user guide that came with your product to see how to print a Configuration page at the control panel.

Login and logoff

 

The HP Embedded Web Server (EWS) has screens that can be used to view product information

 

and change configuration options. The screens that appear, and the settings on them, vary

 

according to how you gain access to the EWS: as a general user, an information technology (IT)

 

administrator, or a service provider. These passwords can be customized by an IT administrator

 

or a service provider.

 

In a password-protected HP Embedded Web Server, only the Information tab is available to

 

users who do not log in by using the password. If no password has been set (which is the

 

default), all of the tabs are visible.

 

If a password has been set, you must log on as an IT administrator or a service provider to gain

 

access to the protected HP Embedded Web Server tabs (Settings and Networking).

 

 

Note

For information about changing passwords as an IT administrator, see “Security” on page 33. If

 

you are a service provider, see your product service guide.
