3 Embedded Ethernet

Interface Web Page

Overview

The Ethernet Interface comes with an extremely powerful printer management tool that allows you to monitor, configure, and manage both the printer and its print job. The Ethernet Interface comes with an embedded web server that allows System Administrators and users access to its printer management capabilities from a standard web browser.

The Ethernet Interface printer’s IP address is used as a URL, similar to the URL of an Internet web page. When a web browser is activated and the printer’s IP address is entered, the printer’s embedded web server will display its home page, with links to the printer’s status and configuration settings.

All of the Ethernet Interface’s configuration settings are protected by a password so unauthorized users cannot make changes. When you try to open any of the Ethernet Interface’s configuration pages, you are asked for your user name and password. At the prompt, you need to enter root (unless you have another user configured with root privileges) followed by the associated password. If there is no password, just press ENTER. For more information on setting passwords, refer to “Ethernet Interface Security” on page 365.
