Security

for HP Jetdirect 175x external print server/Internet connector for USB and HP Jetdirect 310x external print server/Internet connector for

USB

The print server provides security features that can help to minimize unauthorized access to network configuration parameters.

Note:

Full security in printing environments consists of system authentication (for both servers and clients), data integrity and privacy, and printer access control. High levels of network printing security may require a coordinated implementation of network system applications, encryption, and infrastructure controls. The prevention of unauthorized access to HP Jetdirect print server configuration parameters cannot be guaranteed.

Security features

●IP administrative password

❍Used by Telnet and the embedded web server to control access to print server configuration parameters.

❍Up to 16 case-sensitive, alphanumeric characters may be used.

❍Configured on the print server using the embedded web server (Security, Admin Password menu item), TFTP, Telnet, or optionally by changing the SNMP Set Community Name or the HP Web Jetadmin password.

Optionally, you can synchronize (set) the HP Web Jetadmin and the SNMP

Set Community Name to the same password at the same time. This means that when HP Web Jetadmin sends an SNMP Set command to the print server, the command must include the IP administrative password as the community name for the print server to respond. If you do select such synchronization, changing either of those passwords in that location will also change
