Table 3.4 Telnet Commands and Parameters (5 of 18)

TCP/IP Main

Command

Description

 

 

host-name

Alphanumeric string (up to 32 characters), to assign or

 

change the name of the network device. For example,

 

“host-name printer1” assigns the name “printer1” to the

 

device. The default host name is NPIxxxxxx, where xxxxxx

 

are the last six digits of the LAN hardware (MAC) address.

 

 

ip-config

Specify the configuration method:

 

manual: The print server will wait for IP parameters using

 

manual tools (such as Telnet, embedded Web server,

 

control panel, installation/management software). Status

 

will be User Specified.

 

bootp: The print server will send BOOTP requests on the

 

network for dynamic IP configuration.

 

dhcp: The print server will send DHCP requests on the

 

network for dynamic IP configuration.

 

auto_ip: The print server will be automatically configured

 

with a unique link-local address 169.254.x.x.

 

 

ip

IP address for the print server, in dotted notation. For

 

example:

 

ip-config manual

 

ip 192.168.45.39

 

where ip-configspecifies manual configuration and ip

 

manually sets the IP address 192.168.45.39 on the print

 

server.

 

Specifying 0.0.0.0 clears the IP address.

 

If you exit and save a new IP address, it must be specified

 

on the next Telnet connection.

 

 

subnet-mask

A value (in dotted notation) that identifies the network and

 

host portions of an IP address in received messages. For

 

example,

 

subnet-mask 255.255.255.0

 

stores the subnet mask value 255.255.255.0 on the print

 

server. The value 0.0.0.0 disables the subnet mask. For

 

more information see Appendix A.

 

 

default-gw

The IP address of a default gateway, in dotted notation.

 

For example,

 

default-gw 192.168.40.1

 

assigns 192.168.40.1 as the IP address of the default

 

gateway for the print server.

 

Note: If the HP Jetdirect print server is configured by DHCP

 

and you manually change the subnet mask or the default

 

gateway address, you should manually change the print

 

server’s IP address. This will release the DHCP-assigned

 

address back to the DHCP IP address pool.
