Reaching the embedded Web server

 

You can reach the product’s home page through the embedded Web server by entering

 

the product’s IP address, or through HP Web JetAdmin.

 

 

Note

HP Web JetAdmin is not included in the product installation software, but can be

 

downloaded from the HP Web site at http://www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin.

 

 

 

In the embedded Web server, you can:

 

● set up a support contact and support URLs.

 

● set up a password to control who can remotely access the networking pages.

 

● view general network status information, including network statistics stored on the

 

print server.

Configuring and verifying an IP address

TCP/IP addresses can be assigned and configured on an HP Jetdirect print server using several options:

●HP Web JetAdmin

●HP JetAdmin for Windows

●embedded Web server

TCP/IP assignment

The system administrator or primary user is responsible for determining the TCP/IP address for a specific print server. If you are unsure what the TCP/IP address should be or if you are unfamiliar with using TCP/IP on a network, go to the HP Web site at http:// www.hp.com. Click Search in the upper left corner of the Web page and search for TCP/ IP Overview.

Automatic discovery

The HP LaserJet 4100 mfp series is equipped with an HP Jetdirect network card. All HP Jetdirect print servers have a default TCP/IP address of 192.0.0.192. During product installation, your network server will automatically update the default HP IP address to an address available for use on your network. To determine the new system IP address, print a configuration page and check the TCP/IP status and address.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

When the HP LaserJet 4100 mfp series is turned on, the HP Jetdirect print server broadcasts DHCP requests. DHCP automatically downloads an IP address from a network server. DHCP servers maintain a fixed set of IP addresses and only loan an IP address to the print server. Consult your operating system documentation to set up DHCP service on your network.

Verifying the TCP/IP configuration

Print a configuration page from the control panel or the external print server. Check the TCP/IP status and the TCP/IP addresses. If the information is incorrect, check your hardware connections (cables, hubs, routers, or switches) or recheck the validity of the TCP/IP address.
