Requirements

Compatible Web browsers

To access the HP Embedded Web Server, you must use a compatible Web browser. In general, you can use those Web browsers that support HTML 4.01 and cascading style sheets.

Hewlett-Packard recommends using one of the following browsers:

●Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x or greater

●Firefox 2.x or greater

●Opera 9.0 or greater

Supported HP Web Jetadmin version

HP Web Jetadmin is a browser-based, enterprise management tool for network devices. HP Web Jetadmin is available at:

www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin

To use the improved security features, HP Web Jetadmin version 10.0 or greater is recommended for operation with the HP Embedded Web Server. Using HP Web Jetadmin, you can enable the IPv4/ IPv6 SNMP v3 agent and create an SNMP v3 account on the print server.

NOTE: HP Web Jetadmin 8.0 does not support SNMP configuration over IPv6 protocols. However, you can view HP Jetdirect MIB configuration objects (such as IPv6 and IPsec objects) over IPv4.

Currently, browser support between HP Web Jetadmin and the HP Embedded Web Server might differ. For supported browsers with HP Web Jetadmin, visit www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin.

NOTE: This section assumes that a wireless network connection is established.

If a wireless network connection is not established, you can use the HP Embedded Web Server to configure the HP Jetdirect wireless print server with wireless settings for your network.

Before you can use the HP Embedded Web Server, configure the HP Jetdirect print server with an IP address.

Using IPv6 protocols, addesses are typically configured automatically on the print server, although manual configuration is available. For basic information on IPv6 addresses, see TCP/IP configuration on page 15.

Using IPv4 protocols, you can automatically configure IP parameters over the network, using BOOTP or DHCP each time the print server is turned on. Or, you can manually configure IP parameters using the printer's control panel (for selected printers), Telnet, the arp and ping commands, HP Web Jetadmin or other management software. For more information on TCP/IP configuration options, see TCP/IP configuration on page 15.

When turned on, an HP Jetdirect print server that cannot retrieve a valid IP address from the network automatically assigns itself either the default IPv4 address 192.0.0.192 or a link-local address in the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. You can determine the IP address configured on your print
