HP Embedded Web Server
The HP Embedded Web Server (HP EWS) is a standard feature on all HP LaserJet M5025/M5035 MFP models that are connected through a network.
The HP EWS provides a simple, easy-to-use solution for one-to-one device management. Instead of installing management software, such as HP Web Jetadmin, use HP EWS for remote management in offices that have a limited number of devices. The management console must have a supported Web browser.
In environments that have a larger number of devices, in which one-to-one management is impractical, the HP Embedded Web Server and HP Web Jetadmin work together to provide scalable remote device management. Use HP Web Jetadmin to consolidate management tasks and perform operations on a selected set of devices. For such environments, HP provides hooks between the HP EWS and HP Web
Jetadmin so that HP EWS features can be configured on multiple devices in one operation. For example, you can set the security password for the HP EWS simultaneously on a cluster of devices.

Access to the HP EWS
To open the HP EWS and view information about the HP LaserJet M5025/M5035 MFP, open a supported Web browser and type the device transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP) address or host name in the address field.
To find the device TCP/IP address, look for IP Address on the device configuration page (the Embedded
Jetdirect page), which can be printed from the device control-panel display. Follow these steps to print an Embedded Jetdirect page:
1.
Touch Administration .
2.
Touch Information .
3.
Touch Configuration/Status Pages .
4.
Touch Configuration Page .
5.

The HP EWS frame
Each screen in the HP EWS is a frame that contains a top banner, three category tabs, a left-aligned navigation menu bar, and a main-content area. Selecting one of the category tabs causes the corresponding left-aligned navigation bar to appear, where a menu includes links to content for that tab.
The main-content area shows information and opens options in response to navigation-tab selections and menu-bar selections.
NOTE When the HP EWS screens are opened immediately after the device is turned on, the
HP EWS screens may change as you browse. Complete information becomes available when the MFP enters the Ready state.
Information tab
The following information is available on the HP EWS Information tab. Click the menu items on the left side of the HP EWS Information tab to view the information on each screen.
NOTE If an HP EWS password has been set, the Information tab is the only available tab until
the user logs in. See Security

Configure Device screen
You can obtain device configuration information through a Web browser by opening the HP EWS screen and changing the basic configuration information on the Settings tab. Security and password controls give management information systems (MIS) managers the level of control that they require within their network environments.
NOTE For more information, see the HP Embedded Web Server User Guide .
The following figure shows an example of device options that can be configured remotely.

NOTE The Paper Handling settings are no longer accessed from the Configure Device menus.
To configure Tray Size and Type, select Supplies on the MFP control panel.
Alerts
The device can automatically send e-mail alerts about printing problems or job status to specified e-mail addresses. For example, if toner is low, the device can notify the person who is responsible for ordering or changing the print cartridge. If a device failure occurs, the device can send an e-mail alert directly to the person who is responsible for fixing the problem.
These e-mail alerts can be configured to be sent to any device that can accept e-mail, such as digital phones, pagers, and personal digital assistants (PDAs). In large environments, administrators can route e-mail addresses to list-servers or uniform resource locators (URLs) for expanded notification.
NOTE For more information, see the HP Embedded Web Server User Guide .
The following figures show examples of the Alerts settings that can be configured remotely.

Security
The HP EWS screens that appear, and the settings on them, vary according to the specific HP EWS.
Three modes of user access are possible:
● General user
● IT administrator
● Service provider
To control access to the HP EWS screens, set a password on the Security page.
52 Chapter 2 Software description ENWW
Figure 2-10 HP EWS Settings tab – Security screen
In a password-protected HP EWS, only the Information tab is available to users who do not log in by using the password. If no password is set (which is the default configuration), all of the tabs are available.
If a password has been set, log on as an IT administrator or a service provider to gain access to the protected HP EWS tabs ( Settings and Networking ).
NOTE For more information, see the HP Embedded Web Server User Guide .
Digital Sending tab
Use the screens available on the HP EWS Digital Sending tab to control the digital-sending features of the device.
An example of the HP EWS Digital Sending tab is shown in the following figure.

Kerberos Authentication
Kerberos is a network authentication protocol designed to provide secure authentication for client/server programs by using the secret keys that are delivered with session tickets.
For more information about Keberos or for information about configuring Keberos for your device, see the HP Embedded Web Server User Guide .
HP Digital Sending Software
The HP Digital Sending Software (HP DSS) is a software program that, in conjunction with firmware, enables HP MFPs to send scanned documents directly to electronic mailboxes (e-mail) or to fax destinations, transforming paper-based information into digital images that can be shared, stored, or edited.
Documents are initially scanned at the MFP, and then are transmitted to a network-connected computer where the HP DSS is installed. This prevents users from having to create an electronic copy of a hardcopy document. The HP DSS can also be configured to require user authentication, ensuring that only authorized persons use the digital-sending feature of the MFP.
NOTE HP DSS is not supported on the HP LaserJet M5025 MFP.
For more information about HP DSS, see the HP Digital Sending Software Technical Reference .
Networking tab
The HP EWS Networking tab provides access to HP Jetdirect network configuration parameters and status for the device.
An example of the HP EWS Networking tab is shown in the following figure.
