HP Configure Your Jetdirect 510x Print Server Using Telnet

Using Telnet

This subsection describes how to configure the print server using Telnet.

Note

CAUTION

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.

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.
