Configuring Weblink

 1/20/15

When any WebLink setting (with the exception of the logging settings) is adjusted either via 
SNMP, SGD, or JSON it is required that the printer be reset before the new value takes effect. 
The 

weblink.printer_reset_required

 setting will be set to 

"yes"

 if there are any settings 

that have been modified that require a printer reset.

• Is the remote server that the printer is attempting to connect to outside of the corporate 

firewall?

• Does the firewall require a username and password to access the remote server?

• Does the printer require a proxy server to access the remote server?

• Does the firewall permit HTTPS connections initially, or does the printer need to connect 

via HTTP first?

If the answer to any of these questions is ‘yes’, then more than the basic configuration may be 
necessary. Depending upon the network environment that the printer is in, accessing the 
remote server may only require that a few settings be set. 

The minimum requirement is that the URL for the remote server be set. For simplicity, assume 
that only 

conn1

 is being used (this is the typical scenario). See also 

Set 

weblink.ip.conn1.location

 to the URL of the remote server. 

https://www.examplecorpinc.com/zebra/weblink/

Configure the location setting as follows:

! U1 setvar "weblink.ip.conn1.location" 
"https://www.examplecorpinc.com/zebra/weblink/"

Reset the printer.

When the printer has an IP address, it will attempt to connect to the remote server. In the 
event that the remote server does not indicate that the printer has connected, logging may 
need to be enabled in order to determine the failure.

If a proxy server must be used to access the remote server, the printer’s proxy setting must be 
set to connect to the server. There are typically four properties associated with a proxy server:

• The proxy server scheme: 

HTTP

 or 

HTTPS

• The proxy server address
