Mbps) and communication mode (Full- or Half-Duplex). The available link-speed depends

 

on the print server model. Select from the following communication modes:

 

AUTO (default): Use auto-negotiation to configure the highest link speed and

 

communication mode allowed.

 

1000FULL: 1000 Mbps, full-duplex operation.

 

100AUTO: Limit auto-negotiation to a maximum link speed of 100 Mbps.

 

100FULL: 100 Mbps, full-duplex operation.

 

100HALF: 100 Mbps, half-duplex operation.

 

10FULL: 10 Mbps, Full-duplex operation.

 

10HALF: 10 Mbps, half-duplex operation.

 

 

usb-mode

Communication mode over the USB port on the HP Jetdirect print server.

 

● Auto (default): Automatically negotiate and set the highest communication mode

 

possible for the attached printer or device.

 

● MLC: HP proprietary (multiple logical channels) mode that allows multiple channels of

 

simultaneous print, scan, and status communication.

 

● BIDIR: Standard connection that supports bi-directional communication between the

 

printer and print server.

 

● UNIDIR: Standard connection in which data is transferred in one direction only (to

 

the printer).

 

 

usb-speed

(Read-only parameter, USB 2.0 products only.) Auto-negotiated communication speed

 

over the USB connection between the HP Jetdirect print server and the device.

 

● Full Speed: 12 Mbits/sec as specified in the USB v2.0 specifications, compatible

 

with USB v1.1 specifications.

 

● Hi-Speed: 480 Mbits/sec for USB v2.0 devices only.

 

● Disconnected: USB port is not connected.

 

 

hw-acclrn-conf
