Reset Security Specify whether the current security settings on the print server will be saved or reset to
factory defaults.
No (default): The current security settings are maintained.
Yes: Security settings are reset to factory defaults.
Link Speed The link speed and communication mode of the print server must match the network. The
available settings depend on the device and installed print server. Select one of the following
link conguration settings:
CAUTION: If you change the link setting, network communications with the print server and
network device might be lost.
Auto (default): The print server uses auto-negotiation to congure itself with the highest link
speed and communication mode allowed. If auto-negotiation fails, either 100TX HALF or 10TX
HALF is set depending on the detected link speed of the hub/switch port. (A 1000T half-duplex
selection is not supported.)
10T Half: 10 Mbps, half-duplex operation.
10T Full: 10 Mbps, Full-duplex operation.
100TX Half: 100 Mbps, half-duplex operation.
100TX Full: 100 Mbps, full-duplex operation.
100TX Auto: Limits auto-negotiation to a maximum link speed of 100 Mbps.
1000TX Full: 1000 Mbps, full-duplex operation.
Link conguration 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 congure
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) conguration le that is downloaded, for example, from a BootP or
DHCP server
● Network management tools such as HP Web Jetadmin
