Configuration Precedence
Use this option to configure the precedence that the device uses when setting several configuration
parameters (for example, hostname) by using different configuration methods. The order in which the
configuration methods are listed determines which configuration method has precedence over another
method for duplicate configuration parameter values. For example, a DHCP hostname overwrites a TFTP
hostname if DHCP/BOOTP has precedence over TFTP.
To specify the configuration precedence, select a method in the list, and then click Move Up or Move Down.
To restore the default configuration preference, click Reset.
NOTE: To specify the configuration precedence in a template or for multiple devices, you must click Reset.
Desired USB Mode
This option lets you specify the protocol that the USB uses to interface with this device. HP Jetdirect normally
uses the best protocol that the device supports. If a more complex interface does not work with the
HP Jetdirect print server, change this option to a simpler interface. If you select Automatic, the HP Jetdirect
print server uses the best protocol available. If you select Unidirectional, the HP Jetdirect print server uses
the forward-data only protocol (USB class 7.1.1). If you select Bidirectional, the HP Jetdirect print server
uses the simple forward and reverse data protocol (USB class 7.1.2). If you select Multiple Logical Channels
(MLC), the HP Jetdirect print server uses the HP-MLC protocol (USB class 7.1.2+).
To change the protocol, select the option for the protocol that you want this HP Jetdirect print server to use.
DHCP User Class Option (Tag 77)
Use this option to determine the manufacturer, type, model, and serial number of the device.
To configure this option, select the checkbox.
DHCPv4 FQDN compliance with RFC 4702
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv4 (DHCPv4) provides a mechanism for host configuration
that includes dynamically assigning IP addresses and fully qualified domain names (FQDNs). Use this option
to enable or disable DHCPv4 FQDN compliance with RFC 4702.
To enable DHCPv4 FQDN compliance with RFC 4702, select the checkbox.
To disable DHCPv4 FQDN compliance with RFC 4702, clear the checkbox.
DNS Server
If your network uses Domain Name System (DNS) services, use this option to specify the IP address of a
primary DNS server for specified devices. If a secondary DNS server is available on your network and can be
configured on the device, you may also specify the IP address of the secondary DNS server. A secondary DNS
server is used when the primary DNS server is not available. Use Domain name to specify a Domain Name for
this device. A domain is a set of one or more IP addresses, and the Domain Name identifies the domain in
which the device resides (for example, support.hp.com). A Domain Name typically consists of a series of
labels separated by the dot (.) character, ending with a predefined suffix to identify its top-level domain. For
example, top-level domain .com is used for commercial businesses, .edu for educational institutions,
and .org for nonprofit organizations.
Devices on an IP network actually use IP addresses for communications. However, device IP addresses may
dynamically change or be difficult to remember, use or manage. Domain Name System (DNS) services are
used to automatically translate user-friendly Domain Names to corresponding device IP addresses. A server
on the network that provides this service is a DNS server.
