34 TCP/IP Configuration ENWW
Using Telnet
This subsection describes how to configure the print server
using
Telnet.
Note To use Telnet commands with the HP Jetdirect
print server, a route must be available from your
workstation to the print server. Simplistically, this
means that there must be a match between the
network identification of your system to that of the
HP Jetdirect print server.
On Windows systems, you can use the following
route command at a DOS prompt to add a route to
the print server:
route add <IP address Jetdirect>
<IP address workstation>
where <IP address Jetdirect> is the IP address
configured on the HP Jetdirect print server, and
<IP address workstation> is the IP address of
the workstation's network card that is attached to
the same physical LAN as the print server.
CAUTION Using Telnet to change dynamically-configured
Jetdirect print servers (for example, using BOOTP,
RARP, DHCP), may result in a static configuration
depending on the parameter being changed.
To set configuration parameters, you must set up a Telnet
connection from your system to the HP
Jetdirect print server.
1. Type the following at the system prompt:
telnet <IP address>
where <IP address> may be the assigned address from
BOOTP, RARP, DHCP, the printer control panel, or the default
IP address. The default IP address is 192.0.0.192. The
<IP
address> is listed on the Jetdirect configuration page.
