IPX - Ethernet Frame Type
This option lets you specify the Ethernet frame types that the HP Jetdirect print server uses on the network. If
you select Auto, the HP Jetdirect print server tries all of the frame types until it nds the one that works. If you
know that you are only going to use one frame type, selecting that frame type reduces network trac.
To congure this feature, select one of the Ethernet frame type options:
●
Auto
●
Ethernet 802.3
●
Ethernet II
●
Ethernet 802.2
●
Ethernet SNAP
IPX - Frame Type Token Ring
IPX protocol is supported by Novell NetWare network OS. This option lets you specify which encapsulation type
for IPX to use for a token ring LAN or it can be set to let the device automatically decide which is best to use.
IPX - Queue Server Job Polling Interval
IPX protocol is supported by Novell’s NetWare network operating system. This option lets you specify the
number of seconds for the queue server job polling interval.
IPX - RCFG Support Enabled
RCFG (remote conguration protocol) was developed by HP for remote conguration and management of
devices on an IPX/SPX network, typically a Novell NetWare network. By factory default, RCFG is enabled. RCFG
does not support encrypted communications or authentication, and is not secure. If RCFG is not required for
device conguration and management, it should be disabled. Disabling RCFG does not aect the use of IPX/SPX
Direct-Mode (peer-to-peer) printing. Use this feature to enable or disable RCFG. If enabled, RCFG (sometimes
called RCONFIG) allows the device to be remotely congured on an IPX/SPX network. HP Web Jetadmin may use
RCFG to congure Novell NetWare queue-server linkages on older HP Jetdirect print servers.
To enable RCFG, select Enable RCFG support. To disable RCFG, deselect this eld.
IPX - SAP Broadcast Interval
By default, the HP Jetdirect print server sends out a Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) broadcast every 60
seconds to advertise itself on the network and make Novell print servers aware of its presence. SAP broadcasts
are necessary for the print server services to be located in some Novell NetWare environments. This option lets
you specify how often the HP Jetdirect print server sends out a SAP broadcast. If you have many HP Jetdirect
print servers on your network, SAP broadcasts can cause network trac. To reduce the impact that SAP
broadcasts have on network trac, increase the IPX SAP broadcast interval. You might want to disable
HP Jetdirect SAP broadcasts on Novell networks that use Novell Distributed Print Services (NDPS) or on other
networks that do not require them.
