Description

 

 

Status

Current state of the HP Jetdirect print server. See Table 8-2 HP Jetdirect

 

 

 

 

 

Configuration/General Information on page 141 for a complete definition.

 

 

Model Number

Product number of the HP Jetdirect print server.

 

 

Hardware Address

The 12-digit hexadecimal network hardware (MAC) address of the HP Jetdirect print

 

server installed in the printer or device. This address is assigned by the manufacturer.

 

 

Firmware Version

Firmware revision number of the HP Jetdirect print server currently installed in the

 

printer.

 

 

Network Connection Mode

The type of network connection: Auto, Wireless, or Wired.

 

 

Communication Mode

Wireless network topology configured on the HP Jetdirect print server:

 

Infrastructure: Wireless connection to an access point (gateway, bridge, base station)

 

that receives and forwards network traffic between all network nodes.

 

Ad Hoc: A direct wireless peer-to-peer connection to all network nodes, without

 

routing through an access point.

 

 

Network Name (SSID)

Name of the network (service set identifier) to which the print server is connected.

 

 

Network Connection Type

Specifies the type of network connection: Wireless or Wired.

 

 

Access Point / BSSID

Basic service set identifier (BSSID) is a 6-byte number that distinguishes one wireless

 

LAN (WLAN) from another, even if they have the same network name (SSID).

 

Infrastructure Mode: The MAC address or name of the access point to which the

 

HP Jetdirect wireless print server is connected.

 

Ad Hoc Mode: A random number or name generated by the initiator of the ad hoc

 

network.

 

 

Channel

Radio frequency channel that the print server sensed and configured for

 

communication on the network. Because it was automatically sensed from the

 

network, this channel can be different than the user-configured channel, which is only

 

used for broadcasts if the specified network/SSID is not found.

 

Channel number values 1 through14 might display. The allowed channels are country/

 

region-dependent.

 

 

Authentication Type

Level of encryption configured on the HP Jetdirect print server.

 

No Security (Open System): Positive validation of a device's identification is not

 

required for network access unless the network requires EAP authentication. An

 

authentication failure can indicate that an EAP authentication server has rejected

 

network access.

 

WEP: Each device on the network is configured with a shared secret WEP key which

 

is required to gain access to the network. Authentication failures for the HP Jetdirect

 

print server can arise if the installed key is faulty, or the wrong key is active, when

 

multiple keys are configured and stored on the print server.

 

WPA: For enhanced security, Wi-Fi protected access using a pre-shared key is

 

configured. The pre-shared key is generated by the print server through a user-

 

specified network passphrase configured on the print server.

 

 

User Name

User identity.

 

 

CA Server ID

ID of the CA server.

 

 

SSL Certificate

Indicates whether the SSL certificate is Installed or Not Installed.
