This command prepares the printer to receive Weblink settings from the DHCP server. These settings are used to allow the printer to connect to on-premise or web-based servers.
If DHCP receives option 43 in the format of
"10642 <auto provision code> < auto provision settings>”
and the Client is not already configured, the client will use the configuration to connect to the server.
Using this feature requires configuring your DHCP server to send option 43 information during address assignment. The feature allows the printer to obtain the settings used to control Cloud Connect weblink connections or Mirror events as part of receiving a DHCP assigned IP address. This requires that DHCP option 60 is not empty and that
ip.dhcp.auto_provision_enable
is set to
"on"
.
The package of Cloud Connect/weblink information sent from the DHCP server in the Option 43 response can include the:
Server address
Authentication server name
User name and password for proxy logins
The package of Mirror information sent from the DHCP server in the Option 43 packet can include the:
Server address
Mirror path
Mirror feedback path
Mirror appl path
Mirror mode
Setvar
