Table 3-2TFTP configuration file parameters (continued)

write-mode:

Set the TCP PSH flag for device-to-client data transfers.

0 (default): Disable.

1: Enable the all-push option in all data packets.

mult-tcp-conn:

Allow multiple TCP connections.

0 (default): Enable multiple connections.

1: Disable multiple connections.

TCP/IP Raw Print Ports

raw-port: (or addrawport:)

Additional ports for printing to TCP port 9100. Valid ports are 3000 to 9000, which are application-dependent.

TCP/IP Access Control

allow: netnum [mask]

Add entries to the host access list stored on the HP Jetdirect print server. Each entry specifies a host or network of hosts allowed to connect to the printer. The netnum parameter sets the network number or host IP address, and mask sets an address mask of bits applied to the network number and host address to verify access. Add up to 10 access list entries. If there are no entries, all hosts are permitted access. For example:

allow: 192.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 Allow hosts on network 192.

allow: 192.168.1.2 Allow a single host. The default mask 255.255.255.255 is assumed and is not required.

allow: 0 Clear the host access list.

For additional information, see Security features (V.40.xx) on page 121.

TCP/IP Other Settings

syslog-config:

Allow syslog server operation on the print server: 0: Disable. 1 (default): Enable.

syslog-svr: (or syslog-srv:)

IP address of the server that the HP Jetdirect print server sends syslog messages to.

syslog-max:

Maximum number of syslog messages sent by the HP Jetdirect print server on a per-minute basis. Allows administrators to control the log file size. 0: No restriction on the number of messages. 10 (default): Send a maximum of 10 messages per minute.

syslog-priority:

Filter messages sent to the syslog server. The filter range is 0 to 7, with 0 being the most specific, and 7 the most general. Only messages that are lower than the specified filter level (or higher in priority) are reported. 7 (default): Messages of all priorities are sent. 8: Disable. No syslog messages are sent.
