Values and Description

 

 

 

 

Diagnostics

Embedded Tests

 

(HP Jetdirect embedded print servers only.) Diagnose

 

 

 

network hardware or TCP/IP network connection

 

 

 

problems.

 

 

 

Use an embedded test to check hardware and

 

 

 

communication paths on the print server. After you

 

 

 

select and enable a test and set the execution time,

 

 

 

select Execute to initiate the test.

 

 

 

Depending on the execution time, a selected test runs

 

 

 

continuously until either the device is turned off, or an

 

 

 

error occurs and a diagnostic page is printed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

LAN HW Test

CAUTION: Running this embedded test erases your

 

 

 

TCP/IP configuration.

 

 

 

Performs an internal loopback test, which sends and

 

 

 

receives packets only on the internal network

 

 

 

hardware. There are no external transmissions.

 

 

 

Yes: Select this test.

 

 

 

No: Do not select this test.

 

 

 

 

 

 

HTTP Test

Check operation of HTTP by retrieving predefined

 

 

 

pages from the device, and test the HP Embedded

 

 

 

Web Server.

 

 

 

Yes: Select this test.

 

 

 

No: Do not select this test.

 

 

 

 

 

 

SNMP Test

Checks operation of SNMP communications by

 

 

 

accessing predefined SNMP objects on the device.

 

 

 

Yes: Select this test.

 

 

 

No: Do not select this test.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Data Path Test

Identify data path and corruption problems on an HP

 

 

 

postscript level 3 emulation device. Sends a

 

 

 

predefined PS file to the device. However, the file

 

 

 

does not print (paperless).

 

 

 

Yes: Select this test.

 

 

 

No: Do not select this test.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Select All Tests

Run all the embedded tests.

 

 

 

Yes: Run all tests.

 

 

 

No: Do not run all tests.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Execution Time [H]

Specify the length of time (in hours) that an embedded

 

 

 

test runs, using a value from 1 to 60. If you select zero

 

 

 

(0), the test runs indefinitely until an error occurs or the

 

 

 

device is turned off.

 

 

 

Data gathered from the HTTP, SNMP, and Data Path

 

 

 

tests is printed after the tests complete.
