Menu item Sub-menu item Sub-menu item Values and description
Address Use this item to manually congure an IPv6 address.
Manual Settings: Use the Manual Settings menu to enable and manually congure a TCP/ IPv6
address.
Enable: Select this item and choose On to enable manual conguration, or O to disable
manual conguration.
Address: Use this item to type a 32 hexadecimal digit IPv6 node address that uses the colon
hexadecimal syntax.
DHCPV6 Policy Router Specied: The stateful auto-conguration method to be used by the print server is
determined by a router. The router species whether the print server obtains its address, its
conguration information, or both from a DHCPv6 server.
Router Unavailable: If a router is not available, the print server should attempt to obtain its
stateful conguration from a DHCPv6 server.
Always: Whether or not a router is available, the print server always attempts to obtain its
stateful conguration from a DHCPv6 server.
Primary DNS Use this item to specify an IPv6 address for a primary DNS server that the print server should
use.
NOTE: This item will appear only if Manual conguration is a higher priority than DHCP in the
Cong Precedence table, congured through the embedded Web server.
Secondary DNS Use this item to specify an IPv6 address for a secondary DNS server that the print server
should use.
NOTE: This item will appear only if Manual conguration is a higher priority than DHCP in the
Cong Precedence table, congured through the embedded Web server.
Proxy Server Species the proxy server to be used by embedded applications in the device. A proxy server is
typically used by network clients for Internet access. It caches Web pages, and provides a
degree of Internet security, for those clients.
To specify a proxy server, enter its IPv4 address or fully-qualied domain name. The name can
be up to 255 octets.
For some networks, you may need to contact your Independent Service Provider (ISP) for the
proxy server address.
Proxy Port Type the port number used by the proxy server for client support. The port number identies
the port reserved for proxy activity on your network, and can be a value from 0 to 65535.
Security Print Sec Page Yes: Prints a page that contains the current IPsec security settings on the HP Jetdirect print
server.
No (default): A security settings page is not printed.
Secure Web For conguration management, specify whether the embedded Web server will accept
communications using HTTPS (Secure HTTP) only, or both HTTP and HTTPS.
HTTPS Required: For secure, encrypted communications, only HTTPS access is accepted. The
print server will appear as a secure site.
HTTP/HTTPS optional: Access using either HTTP or HTTPS is permitted.
NOTE: The factory default setting depends on the print server model.
IPSEC Specify the IPsec or Firewall status on the print server.
Keep: IPsec/Firewall status remains the same as currently congured.
Disable: IPsec/Firewall operation on the print server is disabled.
