8.Select File > Save.
9.Start the HPWJA service by using Windows Service Control Manager.
HP Web Jetadmin now uses the specified IP address with reference to the HTTP or web services.
Configure the Event Notification Port
If there is a firewall on the HP Web Jetadmin server, the event notification port must be set to static and the firewall must be configured to accept connections through this port. Even though a client might have a firewall, that client firewall does not have to be configured in order to launch the client.
HP Web Jetadmin directs clients to a TCP connection to get display event update notifications. When the client has established this connection, HP Web Jetadmin will send event update messages prompting the client to update itself via the normal .NET Remoting channel on port number 4088. The port number established for event update notification is communicated to the client when the client first establishes a connection to the HP Web Jetadmin server. The port number that HP Web Jetadmin communicates is somewhat random which can be a problem when a firewall is configured at the HP Web Jetadmin server.
To configure a static port, perform the following steps, including restarting the HP Web Jetadmin service:
WARNING! Restarting the HP Web Jetadmin service can interrupt critical processes. Before you restart the HP Web Jetadmin service, ensure that all users are logged off and there are no active tasks running on the HP Web Jetadmin server. To check the HP Web Jetadmin server, click the Application Management button in the left navigation pane, and then use the Client Management – Active Clients and Application Management – Active Tasks task modules.
1.Use Notepad or a similar editor to create a file that contains the following XML section:
<ipmc:configuration
xmlns:ipmc="www.hp.com/schemas/imaging/ipmc/config/2004/02/24"> <property name="ClientEventRouter.ServerPort">
<type>HP.Imaging.Wjp.Sdk.Core.Framework.ConfigurationItemString
</type>
<value>8099</value>
</property>
</ipmc:configuration>
NOTE: The port number specified in the <value> entry can be any unused port.
2.From the File menu, select Save.
3.On the Save As window, navigate to the following directory on the HP Web Jetadmin server:
4.In the File name box, enter Global.config.xml, and then click the Save button.
5.Restart the HP Web Jetadmin service (HPWJAService).
6.Use any firewall application or a similar application to open the port.
Configure the Firewall Software
You must configure the firewall on the HP Web Jetadmin server host to allow client traffic and other traffic to pass through the correct ports. The firewall monitors HP Web Jetadmin for the ports that it uses and allows traffic.
