Bonjour-pri-svc, Hoplimit-wsd | HP ew2500 802.11b/g Print Server

Table 3-2TFTP configuration file parameters (continued)

bonjour-pri-svc:

Highest priority Bonjour service to use for printing. Set this using the following values:

1: Port 9100 printing

2: IPP port printing

3: Default LPD raw queue

4: Default LPD text queue

5: Default LPD auto queue

6: Default LPD binps (binary PostScript) queue

7 through 12: If user-specified LPD queues are defined, corresponds to user-specified LPD queues 5 through 10.

The default selection depends on the printer, typically port 9100 printing or LPD binps.

hoplimit-wsd

Set the WS-Discovery hop limit for the site local IPv6 multicast packet.

ipv4-multicast:

Receive and transmit IP version 4 multicast packets. 0: Disable. 1 (default): Enable.

NOTE: If disabled, other protocols that use multicast protocols, such as Bonjour and SLP, might also be disabled without notification.

idle-timeout:

Seconds that an idle print data connection is allowed to remain open. The range is 1 to 3600 seconds. Since the card supports only a single TCP connection, the idle timeout balances the opportunity of a host to recover or complete a print job against the ability of other hosts to access the printer. 0: Disable. 270 (default): Enable.

user-timeout: (or telnet-timeout:)

Seconds that a Telnet or FTP session is idle before it is automatically disconnected. The range is 1 to 300 seconds. 0: Disable. 900 (default): Enable.

CAUTION: Small values, such as 1 to 5, can disable the use of Telnet. A Telnet session can terminate before any changes are made.

cold-reset

Reset to TCP/IP factory default settings after a cold reset. (Parameters for other subsystems, such as IPX/SPX or AppleTalk, are not affected.) 0: Disable. Retain TCP/IP settings after a cold reset. 1: Enable. Restore factory default TCP/IP settings.

icmp-ts-config

ICMPv4 time stamp requests. 0 (default): Disable. 1: Enable.

ews-config: (or web:)

Allow use of the HP Embedded Web Server on the print server. 0: Disable. 1 (default): Enable.
