Supported Hp Web Jetadmin Version; Viewing The Embedded Web Server - HP Jetdirect J7974E Administrator's Manual

Supported HP Web Jetadmin Version

HP Web Jetadmin is a browser-based, enterprise management tool for network devices. It is available
from HP online support at the following URL:
http://www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin
To make use of improved security features, HP Web Jetadmin version 8.0 or greater is recommended
for operation with the HP Jetdirect embedded Web server. Using HP Web Jetadmin, you can enable
the IPv4/IPv6 SNMP v3 agent and seamlessly create an SNMP v3 account on the print server.
NOTE
However, Jetdirect MIB configuration objects (such as IPv6 and IPsec objects) may be viewed
over IPv4.
A link to HP Web Jetadmin will be displayed on the embedded Web server if HP Web Jetadmin has
discovered this device through an Integration URL.
Currently, browser support between HP Web Jetadmin and the embedded Web server may differ. For
supported browsers with HP Web Jetadmin, visit http://www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin.

Viewing the Embedded Web Server

Before you can use the embedded Web server, the HP Jetdirect print server must be configured with
an IP address.
Using IPv6 protocols, IPv6 addresses are typically configured automatically on the print server, although
manual configuration is available. For basic information on IPv6 addresses, see
Configuration.
Using IPv4 protocols, there are many ways to configure an IPv4 address on the print server. For
example, you can automatically configure IP parameters over the network using BOOTP (Bootstrap
Protocol) or DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) each time the print server is turned on. Or,
you can manually configure IP parameters using the printer's control panel (for selected printers), Telnet,
the "arp" and "ping" commands, HP Web Jetadmin or other management software. For more information
on TCP/IP configuration options, see
When powered on, an HP Jetdirect print server that is unable to retrieve a valid IP address from the
network will automatically assign itself either a legacy default IPv4 address 192.0.0.192 or a link-local
address in the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. The IP address configured on your print server
can be determined by inspecting the Jetdirect configuration page for the print server. See
Configuration
If the legacy default IPv4 address 192.0.0.192 has been assigned, you must temporarily set up your
computer with the same IP network number or establish a route to the print server before you can gain
access to the embedded Web server.
To access the embedded Web server, perform the following steps:
1. Run a supported Web browser.
