Requirements Compatible Web Browsers To access the embedded Web server, you must use a compatible Web browser. In general, the embedded Web server can be used with Web browsers that support HTML 4.01 and cascading style sheets. Hewlett-Packard tests a number of current and older browsers using a variety of systems. In general, we recommend using the following browsers: ● Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or greater ● Netscape Navigator 6.0 or greater ● Mozilla Firefox 1.x or greater Browser Exceptions Due to known problems experienced during testing, we recommend that you do not use the following browsers: ● Netscape Navigator 6.2.x with SSL Supported HP Web Jetadmin Version HP Web Jetadmin is a browser-based, enterprise management tool for network devices. It is available from HP online support at the following URL: http://www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin To make use of improved security features, HP Web Jetadmin version 8.0 or greater is recommended for operation with the HP Jetdirect embedded Web server. Using HP Web Jetadmin, you can enable the IPv4/IPv6 SNMP v3 agent and seamlessly create an SNMP v3 account on the print server. NOTE: HP Web Jetadmin 8.0 does not support SNMP configuration over IPv6 protocols. However, Jetdirect MIB configuration objects (such as IPv6 and IPsec objects) may be viewed over IPv4. Currently, browser support between HP Web Jetadmin and the embedded Web server may differ. For supported browsers with HP Web Jetadmin, visit http://www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin. Viewing the Embedded Web Server Before you can use the embedded Web server, the HP Jetdirect print server must be configured with an IP address. Using IPv6 protocols, IPv6 addresses are typically configured automatically on the print server, although manual configuration is available. For basic information on IPv6 addresses, see TCP/IP Configuration on page 17. Using IPv4 protocols, there are many ways to configure an IPv4 address on the print server. For example, you can automatically configure IP parameters over the network using BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) or DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) each time the print server is turned on. Or, you can manually configure IP parameters using the printer's control panel (for selected printers), Telnet, 62 Chapter 4 Embedded Web Server (V.36.xx) ENWW
