1 Overview What is an embedded Web server? A Web server provides an environment in which Web programs can run, in much the same way that an operating system, such as Microsoft® Windows®, provides an environment in which programs can run on your computer. A Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox, can show output from a Web server.
● Receive alerts about product events, such as when the product is low on supplies, through e-mail. Set up four different destination lists for each user (administrators and service), with up to 20 recipients on each of the four lists (if a permanent storage device is available). ● Select the language in which to display the HP EWS screens. ● Print to an HP product without having to install the product print driver.
NOTE: You cannot view the HP EWS screens from outside of a firewall. 1. Open a supported Web browser. 2. In the Address or Go to field, type the IPv4 or IPv6 TCP/IP address, the host name, or the configured host name that is assigned to the product. See the following examples. ● IPv4 TCP/IP address: http://192.168.1.
Login and logoff The HP EWS has screens that can be used to view product information and change configuration options. The screens that appear, and the settings on them, vary according to how you gain access to the HP EWS: as a general user, an information technology (IT) administrator, or a service provider. These passwords can be customized by an IT administrator or a service provider. In a password-protected HP EWS, only the Information tab is available to users who do not log in by using the password.
To log in as an administrator Use the following procedure to log in to the HP EWS as an administrator. 1. After you open the EWS, click the Log In link in the upper-right corner of the screen. The Enter Network Password dialog box appears, as shown in the following illustration. The appearance of the login screen might vary, depending on your operating system and browser. Figure 1-1 Enter Network Password dialog box 2. Type admin for the user name, type your password, and then click OK.
Navigating through the HP Embedded Web Server To navigate through the HP EWS screens, click one of the tabs (such as Information or Settings), and then click one of the menus on the navigation bar that is located on the left side of the screen. The following illustration and table provide information about the HP EWS screens.
