Config Precedence
This page is used to specify the order of precedence of the print server configuration methods. For
example, if a network administrator wants to ensure that IPv4 parameters configured by a TFTP server
cannot be overwritten by a manual configuration method (such as the printer control panel, Telnet, or
embedded Web server), the administrator can use this page to indicate that TFTP takes precedence
over manual configuration.
The factory-default precedence order is indicated below.
Table 4-7 TCP/IP Config Precedence tab
Item Description
Configuration Methods Specifies the precedence of the configuration methods used to configure the print
server. The default precedence is indicated below, where manual configuration has the
highest priority.
Manual: Configuration through tools such as the printer control panel, Telnet,
embedded Web server, installation and management software.
TFTP: Configuration through a TFTP file from a TFTP server, typically identified during
a BootP/DHCP configuration.
DHCP/Bootp: Configuration from a BootP or DHCPv4 server.
DHCPv6: Configuration from a DHCPv6 server.
Default: Factory default configuration.
To change the order of the list, select an entry and use the up or down arrows to move
it.
Reset to default scheme This button resets the precedence table to the default sequence described above.
Reinitialize Now This button saves the new precedence table, clears the configuration method to its
factory-default setting, and restarts the IP stack.
Clear Previous Values and
Reinitialize Now
This button saves the new precedence table, clears the configuration method to its
factory-default setting, clears current TCP/IP parameter settings, and restarts the IP
stack.
Apply
Cancel
The Apply button saves changes to the Configuration Methods precedence table.
Depending on the changes made, you may need to turn the print server Off/On to
implement the change.
The Cancel button cancels your changes to the precedence table.
CAUTION: The Cancel button will not reverse changes made by the
Reinitialize Now or Clear Previous Values and Reinitialize Now buttons.
Example: To set all parameters configured through DHCP to be “Read-only”, and to allow manual
configuration only of parameters that are not configured through DHCP, proceed as follows:
1. Power on the print server so that it obtains its DHCP configuration.
2. Change the precedence table to the following:
BOOTP/DHCPv4
DHCPv6
