entries were made.

 

NOTE: Does not apply to security or other configuration wizards. Changes to

 

parameters through a wizard always causes the print server to re-authenticate.

 

If disabled (default), the print server does not attempt re-authentication unless

 

configuration changes cause the print server to disconnect and reconnect to the

 

network.

 

If enabled, the print server always attempts to re-authenticate using the configuration

 

values.

 

 

Restore Defaults

Restore 802.1X configuration settings to factory default values.

 

 

IPsec/Firewall

Configure or view the IPsec or Firewall policy for the print server. You can enable or disable IPsec/ Firewall operation on the print server, and configure the default rule for IP packets that are not covered by IPsec/Firewall rules.

Rules that define the IPsec/Firewall policy are configured through an IPsec/Firewall wizard, which is run when you click Add Rules. For more information, see IPsec/Firewall configuration (V.45.xx.nn.xx) on page 105.

Device Announcement Agent

Use the Device Announcement page to enable or disable the HP Device Announcement Agent, to set the configuration server, and to indicate whether to require mutual authentication using certificates. When enabled (the default), the HP Device Announcement Agent sends an announcement to a configuration server when the device first connects to your network. The configuration server, such as the HP Imaging and Printing Security Center, then sends the pre- established configuration settings to the device.

By default, the device announcement agent is enabled, and mutual authentication (using certificates) is disabled.
