Configuring Network and Broadcast Settings
📘 Instructions
The Network and Broadcast Settings panel defines the ports used by the PDH. The PDH listens on the configured ports for requests from Print Delivery Stations. You can set up to three ports, and specify which ports are enabled, and which ports are configured to use SSL
By default, the Default IPP Port is configured to be port 631, which is the port typically assigned to the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP).
Often, Print Delivery Stations are deployed in locations whose networks may offer limited or controlled access to the Internet. To provide reliable communication, you can configure and enable up to two additional ports.
Typical installations use port 80 and port 443, as these are the most commonly accessible. Port 443 is usually configured to use SSL. Enabling ports 80 and 443 provides the highest accessibility for remote PDS deployments.
If you check SSL for a port, you must also configure the PDH SSL tab. For more information, see Configuring SSL settings for your PDH.
