Selects the method for the print server to receive its

IP configuration parameters: BOOTP (default), DHCP, or Manual.

BOOTP or DHCP: the IP parameters will be automatically configured by a BOOTP or DHCP server each time the print server

is powered on.

Manual: basic IP parameters can be manually entered using this web page, or using other available tools.

A Caution! Configuration tools.

Specifies a readable IP name (the SNMP SysName object) for the network device. The name may contain up to 32 characters including numbers, upper- and lower-case letters, and hyphen and underscore.

Use this field to manually assign the Internet Protocol address on the print server. The IP address is a four byte (32-bit) address in the form “n.n.n.n”, where “n” is a number from 0 to 255. An IP address uniquely identifies a node on a TCP/IP network. Duplicate

IP addresses on a TCP/IP network are not allowed. (See overview

on IP addressing.)

If subnetting is used, use this field to manually assign a subnet mask. A subnet mask is a 32-bit number that, when applied to an IP address, determines which bits specify the network and subnet, and which bits uniquely specify the node. (See overview on IP

addressing.)

Identifies the IP address of a router or computer that is used to connect to other networks or subnetworks.

Specifies the name of the Domain Name System (DNS) domain that the print server resides in (for example, “support.hp.com”). It does not include the host name; it is not the Fully Qualified Domain Name (such as “printer1.support.hp.com”).

Specifies the IP address of the primary Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) server. The WINS server provides IP address and name resolution services for network computers and devices.

Specifies the IP address to be used for WINS if the primary WINS Server is unavailable.

Specifies the IP address of a host computer that is configured to receive syslog messages from the print server. If a syslog server is not specified, syslog messages are disabled. See the syslog

description. See also the Syslog Facility parameter in the Other

Settings menu.

Specifies the maximum number of syslog messages that can be sent by the print server on a per-minute basis. This setting allows administrators to control the log file size. The default is 10 per minute. If set to zero, no maximum number is defined.
