Message Description
Status Current state of the HP Jetdirect print server. See
Table 8-2 HP Jetdirect
Configuration/General Information on page 141 for a complete definition.
Model Number Product number of the HP Jetdirect print server.
Hardware Address The 12-digit hexadecimal network hardware (MAC) address of the HP Jetdirect print
server installed in the printer or device. This address is assigned by the manufacturer.
Firmware Version Firmware revision number of the HP Jetdirect print server currently installed in the
printer.
Network Connection Mode The type of network connection: Auto, Wireless, or Wired.
Communication Mode Wireless network topology configured on the HP Jetdirect print server:
Infrastructure: Wireless connection to an access point (gateway, bridge, base station)
that receives and forwards network traffic between all network nodes.
Ad Hoc: A direct wireless peer-to-peer connection to all network nodes, without
routing through an access point.
Network Name (SSID) Name of the network (service set identifier) to which the print server is connected.
Network Connection Type Specifies the type of network connection: Wireless or Wired.
Access Point / BSSID Basic service set identifier (BSSID) is a 6-byte number that distinguishes one wireless
LAN (WLAN) from another, even if they have the same network name (SSID).
Infrastructure Mode: The MAC address or name of the access point to which the
HP Jetdirect wireless print server is connected.
Ad Hoc Mode: A random number or name generated by the initiator of the ad hoc
network.
Channel Radio frequency channel that the print server sensed and configured for
communication on the network. Because it was automatically sensed from the
network, this channel can be different than the user-configured channel, which is only
used for broadcasts if the specified network/SSID is not found.
Channel number values 1 through14 might display. The allowed channels are country/
region-dependent.
Authentication Type Level of encryption configured on the HP Jetdirect print server.
No Security (Open System): Positive validation of a device's identification is not
required for network access unless the network requires EAP authentication. An
authentication failure can indicate that an EAP authentication server has rejected
network access.
WEP: Each device on the network is configured with a shared secret WEP key which
is required to gain access to the network. Authentication failures for the HP Jetdirect
print server can arise if the installed key is faulty, or the wrong key is active, when
multiple keys are configured and stored on the print server.
WPA: For enhanced security, Wi-Fi protected access using a pre-shared key is
configured. The pre-shared key is generated by the print server through a user-
specified network passphrase configured on the print server.
User Name User identity.
CA Server ID ID of the CA server.
SSL Certificate Indicates whether the SSL certificate is Installed or Not Installed.
