TCP/IP Configuration

Introduction

To operate properly on a TCP/IP network, the HP Jetdirect print server must be configured with valid TCP/IP network configuration parameters, such as an IP address. Depending on your printer and system, this can be done in the following ways:

Note	When shipped from the factory, the HP Jetdirect
	print server has no IP address. If the HP Jetdirect
	print server is not configured with a valid IP
	address within two minutes after power up, a
	factory default value of 192.0.0.192 will be
	automatically assigned. This address must be
	reconfigured with a valid address for use on your
	TCP/IP network. For more information on TCP/IP
	networks, see appendix A.

●By downloading the data from a network-based UNIX server using BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) and TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) each time the print server is turned on.

Note	The BOOTP daemon, bootpd, must be running on a
	BOOTP server that is accessible by the print server.

●By using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This protocol is supported in HP-UX, Solaris, Linux, Windows and Mac OS systems. (Refer to your network operating system manuals to verify that your operating system supports DHCP.)
