DesignJet T900 and T1500 Printer Series - User guide

Item Description
Port Cong If the printer is properly linked, this item has one of the following values:
●
10BASE-T HALF: 10 Mbps, half-duplex
●
10BASE-T FULL: 10 Mbps, full-duplex
●
100TX-HALF: 100 Mbps, half-duplex
●
100TX-FULL: 100 Mbps, full-duplex
●
1000TX FULL
If the printer is not properly linked, one of the following messages will appear:
●
UNKNOWN: The printer is in an initialization state.
●
DISCONNECTED: A network connection has not been detected. Check network cables. Recongure
the link settings, or restart the printer.
Auto Negotiation Indicates whether auto-negotiation for link conguration is on or o.
●
ON (default): The printer will attempt to automatically congure itself onto the network at the
proper speed and communication mode.
●
OFF: You must manually congure the link speed and communication mode using the front panel.
Your settings must match those of the network for proper operation.
Link conguration methods
The printer supports 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps network link speeds using full-duplex or half-duplex
communication modes (a 1000T half-duplex selection is not supported). By default, it will attempt to auto-
negotiate its link operation with the network.
When connecting to network hubs and switches that do not support auto-negotiation, the printer will
congure itself for 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps half-duplex operation. For example, when connected to a non-
negotiating 10 Mbps hub, the print server will automatically set itself to operate at 10 Mbps half-duplex.
If the printer is not able to connect to the network through auto-negotiation, you can set the link setting by
one of the following methods:
●
The front panel
●
The Embedded Web Server
●
The Telnet interface, through a system command prompt
●
A TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) conguration le that is downloaded, for example, from a BootP or
DHCP server
●
network management tools such as HP Web Jetadmin
Reset network parameters
Network parameters (for example, the IP address) can be reset to factory default values by a cold reset:
turning the printer o and on again. After a cold reset, print an IO Conguration page to conrm that factory-
reset values have been assigned.
CAUTION: A factory-installed HP Jetdirect X.509 certicate will be saved over a cold reset to factory default
values. However, a Certicate Authority (CA) certicate that has been installed by the user to validate a
network authentication server will not be saved.
