Configuring HTTP Settings

The HP OXP solution requires the Administrator to run a netsh command on the DCE server(s) hosting the HP devices to enable the devices to talk to the HTTP server. The command reserves an HTTP URL namespace with the HTTP server to allow the devices to listen on a specific port.

To configure the HTTP settings, do the following:

  1. Right-click the command prompt, and select Run as Administrator from the list.
  2. Enter the following command:
    netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:8005/ user=[Domain\eqservicesaccount]
    where the eqservicesaccount is the name of the account that the Equitrac services are run under.
  3. Test that the transactions are being tracked on the DCE server.
    After confirming that the netsh command is successful, the HP URLs are registered with Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), and the WCF service can listen on port 8005.
    In some circumstances, copy and scan transactions may not be tracked after running the netsh command. If these transactions are not tracked, remove the old URL and re-register using the full HP URL.
