OVERVIEW
Devices are added to HP JetAdvantage Security Manager manually using the Add Devices option or
dynamically using the Instant-On Security feature. This whitepaper describes the Add Devices option
in detail, including device identity tracking in the Security Manager database. (For information about
adding devices through the Instant-On Security feature, see the Instant-On Whitepaper.)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Unless the Instant-On Security feature is in use, adding devices to Security Manager is a manual
process. Use the Add Devices button on the toolbar in the Device tab to set up either automatic or
manual device discovery. Devices can be manually added by importing a text or XML file that
contains a list of devices or by manually entering the device information. Exported device lists from
HP Web Jetadmin or from other properly formatted sources can be used. Device lists can include IP
addresses, hostnames, DNS aliases or a combination of all three in XML or text format. Use the
Verify Devices option on the Devices tab to verify support for a device or group of devices.
Unsupported devices are indicated in the devices panel.
To use the Automatic Discovery feature from Add Devices on the Devices tab, click the Device tab and
click Add Devices on the toolbar. Click Automatic Discovery to open the Discovery Control settings.
Select a Discovery Type:
Automatic Discovery – this method uses a multicast UDP discovery mechanism to ask HP
imaging and printing devices to identify themselves. The user may choose the number of
network hops or routers to traverse in the multicast query. The default is 4 hops.
IP Range Discovery – this discovery method scans the given IP address range for all devices
that are supported by Security Manager.
Depending on the Discovery Type, either adjust the Number of Network Hops, or type a Start Address
and End Address for manual discovery using an IP range.
Use the Instant-On Security feature and select the Accept Device Announcements check box in the
Instant- On Security tab (click File, and then click Settings) to dynamically add devices.
After selecting the Devices tab, two options are available to launch the Add Devices dialogue
window. Select Add Devices from the toolbar or select the All Devices Group or a custom group and
then select Add Devices from the context menu.
