Secure Embedded Web Server Management

●Securely access the HP Embedded Web Server. A pre-installed, self-signed HP Jetdirect certificate provides HTTPS access to the HP Embedded Web Server from your Web browser.

●Install a digital certificate issued by a trusted third party to configure the print server as a trusted site.

●Configure security settings using the security configuration wizard.

●Configure full-featured print servers with EAP/802.1X port-based authentication.

IPsec/Firewall

Network Protocol Control

●Enable or disable network printing, printing services, device discovery, and management protocols on the HP Jetdirect print server. Prevent unauthorized access by disabling unused or unnecessary protocols.
