Network Address Each device on a network must be identified by a unique network address for the specific network protocol used. On an IPX network, the network address is assigned automatically. On an IP network, configuration and assignment of IP addresses and other IP settings are a bit more complex. Network addresses are configured and stored on each HP Jetdirect print server during installation, and are listed on the HP Jetdirect configuration page for the print server. Hardware Address Each device on a network contains a unique LAN hardware (or "station") address that is assigned by the manufacturer of the device. Because HP Jetdirect print servers connect printers to a network, each print server contains a LAN hardware address assigned by Hewlett-Packard. The address consists of 12 hexadecimal digits (0 through F). The first 6 digits uniquely identify the manufacturer, and the second 6 digits uniquely identify the device. The LAN hardware address is important because it may be needed to identify the printer during installation. It is listed on the HP Jetdirect configuration page for each print server. In addition, it is listed on a label attached to the print server. Introduction 1-13

Network Address
Each device on a network must be identified by a unique network address for the specific
network protocol used. On an IPX network, the network address is assigned automatically.
On an IP network, configuration and assignment of IP addresses and other IP settings are
a bit more complex. Network addresses are configured and stored on each HP Jetdirect
print server during installation, and are listed on the HP Jetdirect configuration page for
the print server.
Hardware Address
Each device on a network contains a unique LAN hardware (or “station”) address that is
assigned by the manufacturer of the device. Because HP Jetdirect print servers connect
printers to a network, each print server contains a LAN hardware address assigned by
Hewlett-Packard.
The address consists of 12 hexadecimal digits (0 through F). The first 6 digits uniquely
identify the manufacturer, and the second 6 digits uniquely identify the device.
The LAN hardware address is important because it may be needed to identify the printer
during installation. It is listed on the HP Jetdirect configuration page for each print server.
In addition, it is listed on a label attached to the print server.
