3. You can modify the TCP/IP parameters via HP Web JetAdmin.

If you manually provide an IP address when disabling DHCP via Telnet, the print server still releases its DHCP-provided IP address but does not send BOOTP and RARP configuration requests.

Instead, it uses the configuration information you have provided.

Therefore, if you provide the IP address you should also manually set all of the configuration parameters, such as subnet mask, default gateway, and idle timeout.

Note

If the DHCP configuration state is changed from

 

disabled to enabled, the print server assumes it

 

should acquire its configuration information from a

 

DHCP server. This means that when the Telnet

 

session is completed, the TCP/IP protocol for the

 

print server is re-initialized and all current

 

configuration information is deleted. The print

 

server then attempts to acquire new configuration

 

information by sending DHCP requests on the

 

network to a DHCP server.

 

 

For DHCP configuration via Telnet, refer to “Using Telnet” in this chapter.
