Ethernet Web Server

Overview

The ethernet comes with a printer management tool that allows you to
monitor, configure, and manage both the printer and its print job. The ethernet
comes with a web server that allows System Administrators and users access
to its printer management capabilities from a standard web browser.
The ethernet 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 displays its home
page, with links to the printer's status and configuration settings..
All ethernet configuration settings are protected by a password so
unauthorized users cannot make changes. When you try to open any of the
ethernet 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 Security" on page 207.
After you configure the ethernet settings, and click the SUBMIT button on the
related form, re-power the ethernet to ensure the latest settings are in use. To
reset the ethernet, go to the System form under the Configuration Menu and
click the REBOOT button.
The embedded ethernet web server gives you the ability to configure the
network adapter, monitor printer status and to manage print jobs. The
ethernet web page structure is divided into several menus, as shown in
Figure 3.
