HTTP Idle Timeout

Use this option to configure the amount of time (in seconds) that an HTTP connection to the device remains open when there is no traffic, such as when a print job stops sending data to the device.

To specify an HTTP idle timeout period, enter a value from 5 to 60. The default is 15.

To disable the HTTP idle timeout period, enter 0.

IPP Printer Install Wizard

This option lets you specify the URL for the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) Printer Install Wizard link for this printer. When you access this link, an Install Wizard runs that lets you create a print path between your computer and this printer.

CAUTION: If you change this URL, the availability of the Install Wizard may change. Make sure that the Install Wizard has been properly set up before changing this.

To configure this option, type the URL for the IPP Printer Install Wizard in the text box.

IPv4 Information

Network devices use an IP address to communicate with another network device and the subnet mask to determine the network and host portions of the IP address. The default gateway is the address of a gateway system or a router, which are the nodes that let a network device communicate on other networks or subnets. These options define the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address that the

HP Jetdirect print server uses. The IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address are required to communicate with a device that uses the TCP/IP protocol.

CAUTION: These options are fundamental to TCP/IP-based networks. Before you change these options, make sure that you clearly understand how the network is designed.

NOTE: The IP address specified here overrides BOOTP, DHCP, or any previously configured IP address on the HP Jetdirect print server. This is similar to configuring static addresses through Telnet or the device control panel in the case of an internal HP Jetdirect print server. Use the static configuration method if you do not have any automatic or server methods, such as BOOTP or DHCP.

NOTE: You can only apply this configuration option to a single device. You cannot use this configuration option to configure multiple devices at one time or include this configuration option in a template.

To change the IP address, type the new IP address in IP Address. To change the subnet mask, type the new subnet IP address in Subnet Mask. To change the gateway address, type the new gateway IP address in Gateway.

IPv6 Information

You can enable or disable an IPv6-capable device to use the IPv6 protocol. IPv6 must be enabled to access other IPv6-capable devices through an IPv6 network.

You can specify how the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol version 6 (DHCPv6) functions on the network. DHCPv6 is a protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. If you use dynamic addressing, a different IP address is assigned to the device when it connects to the network. A device's IP address can even change while it is still connected. DHCP also supports static IP addresses. Dynamic addressing monitors IP addresses on the network rather than requiring an administrator to manage the task. This means that a new device can be added to a network without manually assigning a unique IP address to the device.

If you are configuring a single device, you can specify a manual IPv6 address and prefix for the device. This option is not available with multiple devices or templates.
