marked in such a way that HP Web Jetadmin always uses them last in a configuration. These
configuration items are:
Security > LDAP - Accessing the Server
Digital Sending > Activity Log
Fax > Fax Reports and Logs (print or clear activity log)
Security > Disable Direct Ports
Network > Protocol Stacks
Network > IPv4 Information, which includes Subnet Mask and Gateway (both single and
batch configurations)
Wireless > 802.11 a/b/g
Network > Link Setting
File System > File System Password
Security > Get Community Name
Security > Set Community Name
Security > SNMP Version Access Control
In any configuration, whether it is performed for a single device, for multiple devices, or with a
configuration template, these settings are always sent to the device last to improve the chance of
successful configurations. The following considerations should be made with these settings:
The chances of a configuration failure increase when these settings are used in the same
configuration.
HP Web Jetadmin only marks these items to run last. HP Web Jetadmin does not put these
items in any order relative to the other items listed here.
Device behaviors, while sometimes predictable, are not fully documented with these known
configuration items.
IMPORT CONFIGURATION FILE
Some configuration items may have a unique value per device and thus cannot be set thru batch
configuration or a template to a fleet. A CSV (comma separated value) file can be created and
imported into HP Web Jetadmin for the purpose of device configuration of these unique configuration
items. This provides a way to configure a fleet of devices with unique parameters that would
otherwise have to be configured one device at a time. CSV files can easily be created by exporting
data from a spreadsheet or word processing program.
Here is an example of a device configuration scenario:
30 devices exist: 16.24.1.26-16.24.1.56
Asset number assignments are required: Abc10040-Abc10070
Assignments are made respective to IP address sequence
A file can be created to represent the configuration desired. Here is a quick look at an example file:
