TCP/IP protocol information
Provides the current status and parameter values for the TCP/IP network protocols.
Unicast Packets
Received
Number of frames specifically addressed to this print server. This does not
include broadcasts or multicasts.
Bad Packets Received
Total number of frames (packets) received with errors by the print server.
Framing Errors
Received
Maximum of CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) errors and framing errors.
CRC errors are frames received with CRC errors. Framing errors are
frames received with alignment errors. A large number of framing errors
could indicate a cabling problem with your network.
Total Packets
Transmitted
Total number of frames (packets) transmitted without error.
Unsendable Packets
Total number of frames (packets) not successfully transmitted because of
errors.
Transmit Collisions
Number of frames not transmitted because of repeated collisions.
Transmit Late
Collisions
Total number of frames not transmitted because a late collision occurred. A
large number may indicate a cabling problem on the network.
Message
Description
Status
Current TCP status:
●
Ready
the print server is awaiting data over TCP/IP.
●
Disabled
TCP/IP was manually disabled.
●
Initializing
the print server is searching for the BOOTP server, or
trying to get the configuration file through TFTP. An additional status
message may also be displayed.
An error code and message are displayed if the print server is not ready.
Host Name
The host name configured on the print server. It may be truncated.
●
Not Specified
no host name was specified in a BOOTP response
or TFTP configuration file.
●
NPIxxxxxx
the default name is NPIxxxxxx, where xxxxxx represents
the last six digits of the LAN hardware (MAC) address.
IP Address
The Internet Protocol (IP) address assigned to the print server. This is a
required entry for its operation on a TCP/IP network. During initialization, a
temporary value 0.0.0.0 is displayed. After two minutes, a default IP
address 192.0.0.192 is assigned, which may not be a valid IP address for
your network.
●
Not Specified
an IP address is not assigned or the value is zero.

Subnet Mask
The IP subnet mask configured on the print server. During initialization, a
temporary value 0.0.0.0 is displayed. Depending on configuration
parameters, the print server may automatically assign a usable default
value.
●
Not Specified
a subnet mask is not configured.
Default Gateway
The IP address of the gateway used when sending packets off the local
network. Only one default gateway may be configured. During initialization,
a temporary value 0.0.0.0 is displayed. If not provided, the IP address of the
print server is used.
●
Not Specified
a default gateway is not configured.
Config By
Identifies how the print server obtained its IP configuration.
●
BOOTP
automatic configuration via a BOOTP server.
●
BOOTP/TFTP
automatic configuration via a BOOTP server and TFTP
configuration file.
●
DHCP
automatic configuration via a DHCP server.
●
DHCP/TFTP
automatic configuration via a DHCP server and TFTP
configuration file.
●
RARP
automatic configuration via the Reverse Address Resolution
Protocol.
●
User Specified
manual configuration via Telnet, the printer’s
control panel, HP Web JetAdmin, embedded web server, or other
method.
●
Default IP
the default IP address was assigned. This address may
not be a valid address for your network.
●
Not Configured
the print server was not configured with IP
parameters. Verify that TCP/IP is enabled, or check for error status.
BOOTP Server
or
DHCP Server
or
RARP Server
Displayed if BOOTP, DHCP, or RARP is used for TCP/IP configuration. It
specifies the IP address of the system that responds to the print server’s
request for automatic TCP/IP configuration over the network.
●
Not Specified
the configuration server’s IP address could not be
determined or was set to zero in the response packet.
BOOTP/DHCP Server
Displayed during initialization while the print server attempts to obtain its
TCP/IP configuration from a BOOTP or DHCP server. The temporary
address displayed is 0.0.0.0.
●
Not Specified
the configuration server’s IP address could not be
determined or was set to zero in the response packet.
TFTP Server
The IP address of the system where the TFTP configuration file is located.
During initialization, the temporary address 0.0.0.0 is displayed.
●
Not Specified
a TFTP server has not been set.
Config File
The name of the print server's configuration file. The file pathname may be
truncated to fit on two lines.
●
Not Specified
a file was not specified in the BOOTP reply from the
host.

EN
Domain Name
The Domain Name System (DNS) name of the domain in which the print
server resides (for example, support.company.com). It is not the fully
qualified DNS name because the host printer name is not included (for
example: printer1.support.company.com).
●
Not Specified
a domain name has not been configured on the
print server.
DNS Server
The IP address of the Domain Name System (DNS) server.
●
Not Specified
a DNS server's IP address has not been configured
on the print server.
WINS Server
The IP address of the Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) server.
●
Not Specified
a WINS server's IP address has not been
configured on the print server.
Syslog Server
The IP address of the syslog server configured on the print server.
●
Not Specified
a syslog server has not been configured.
Idle Timeout
The timeout value expressed in seconds after which the print server closes
an idle TCP print data connection. Acceptable values are integers between
0 and 3600 seconds. A value of zero turns off the timeout mechanism. The
default value is 270 seconds.
SLP
Specifies whether the print server sends Service Location Protocol (SLP)
packets used by system applications for automated installation.
●
Enabled
the print server sends SLP packets.
●
Disabled
the print server does not send SLP packets.
Access List
Identifies whether a host access control list is configured on the print
server. A host access control list specifies the IP address of individual
systems, or IP network of systems, that are allowed access to the print
server and device.
●
Specified
a host access list is configured on the print server.
●
Not Specified
a host access list is not configured on the print
server. All systems are allowed access.
