How to configure the print server using Telnet.

Setting up an IP route

To use Telnet commands with the print server, a route must be available from your workstation to the print server. This means that there must be a match between the network identification of your system to that of the print server. (For example, if the print server is configured with a default IP address, a route may not exist.)

On Windows 95, 98, NT 4.0, 2000, Me, and XP systems, you can use the following route command at a DOS prompt to add a route to the print server:

route add <print server IP address> <system IP address>

where:

<print server IP address> is the IP address configured on the print server

<system IP address> is the IP address of the computer’s network card that is attached to the same physical LAN as the print server

example:

route add 192.168.45.39 192.170.1.2

Note:

Using Telnet to manually set an IP address will override dynamic IP configuration (such as BOOTP, DHCP, or RARP), resulting in a static configuration. In a static configuration, the IP values are fixed and the operation of BOOTP, DHCP, RARP and other dynamic configuration methods may no longer function.

Whenever you are manually changing an IP address, you should also reconfigure the subnet mask and default gateway at the same time.
