Overview

This node operation creates a new network in the Printix Cloud Print system. It is useful for automating network management tasks such as adding new office networks, home office networks, or specialized networks like client migrate print queues or air print networks. For example, an IT administrator can use this node to programmatically add a new network with specific gateway MAC and IP addresses, and optionally associate it with a site ID.

Use Case Examples

  1. Create a new home office network with specified MAC and IP gateways.
  2. Add a client migrate print queues network for a specific site.
  3. Set up an air print network with custom gateway addresses.

Properties

Name Meaning
Name The name of the network to create, used to identify the network.
Home Office Boolean flag indicating whether the network is a home office network.
Client Migrate Print Queues Boolean flag indicating whether the network is a client migrate print queues network.
Air Print Boolean flag indicating whether the network is an air print network.
MAC Address Gateway The MAC address gateway of the network to create, used for network identification and routing.
IP Address Gateway The IP address gateway of the network to create, used for network routing.
Site ID Optional ID of the site to associate the network with.
Request Options Additional request options such as batching, SSL certificate validation, proxy settings, and timeout configuration.
