TCP/IP Configuration 15

DHCP Requests Enable/Disable

When a default IP address is assigned, you can configure the projector server
to send, or not send, periodic DHCP requests. DHCP requests are used to
retrieve IP configuration settings from a DHCP server on the network. By
default, this parameter is enabled, allowing DHCP requests to be transmitted.
However, this parameter may be disabled through supported configuration
tools such as a Web browser, and SNMP management applications.

TCP/IP Configuration Tools

When a network connection has been established, an HP Jetdirect projector
server can be configured with valid TCP/IP parameters for your network in
the following ways:

Using Software. You can use installation, setup, and management
software running on supported systems. For more information see

Chapter 2

, “

HP Web Jetadmin

”.

BOOTP/TFTP. You can download the data from a network-based server
using BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) and TFTP (Trivial File Transfer
Protocol) each time the projector is turned on. For more information, see

Using BOOTP/TFTP

”.

The BOOTP daemon, bootpd, must be running on a BOOTP server that
is accessible by the projector.

DHCP/TFTP. You can use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) and TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) each time the projector
is turned on. These protocols are supported on HP-UX, Solaris, Linux,
Windows NT/2000/Server 2003, NetWare and Mac OS systems. (Refer
to your network operating system manuals to verify that your server
operating system supports DHCP.) For more information, see “
