Table 3.4 Telnet Commands and Parameters (9 of 18)

slp-config

Enables or disables the Service Location Protocol (SLP)

 

operation on the print server: 0 disables, 1 (default) enables.

 

SLP is used by selected HP software applications (through

 

UDP port 427) to automate device discovery.

 

 

slp-keep-alive

Specifies a time period for the print server to send multicast

 

packets on the network to prevent being deleted from

 

network device tables. Some infrastructure devices, such as

 

switches, may delete active devices from their device tables

 

due to inactivity on the network. To enable this feature, set

 

a value from 1 to 1440 minutes. Set 0 to disable this feature.

 

 

mdns-config

Enables or disables Multicast Domain Name System

 

(mDNS) services. 0 disables, 1 (default) enables. mDNS is

 

typically used on small networks for IP address and name

 

resolution (through UDP port 5353) where a conventional

 

DNS server is not available.

 

 

mdns-service-name

Specifies an alphanumeric string of up to 64 ASCII

 

characters assigned to this device or service. This name is

 

persistent and is used to resolve a particular device or

 

service if socket information (such as the IP address)

 

changes from session to session. Apple Rendezvous will

 

display this service. The default service name is the printer

 

model and the LAN Hardware (MAC) address.

 

 

mDNS Domain

(Read-only parameter) Specifies the mDNS domain name

Name

assigned to the device, in the form <host name>.local. If a

 

user-specified host name has not been assigned, the default

 

host name NPIxxxxxx is used, where xxxxxx are the last 6

 

digits of the LAN hardware (MAC) address.

 

 

mdns-pri-svc

Specifies the mDNS highest priority service to use for

 

printing.To set this parameter, choose one of the following

 

printing option numbers:

 

1: Port 9100 printing

 

2: IPP port printing

 

3: The default LPD raw queue

 

4: The default LPD text queue

 

5: The default LPD auto queue

 

6: The default LPD binps (binary postscript) queue

 

7 through 12: If user-specified LPD queues are defined,

 

corresponds to user-specified LPD queues 5 through 10.

 

The default selection will depend on the printer, typically port

 

9100 printing or LPD binps.

 

 

ttl-slp

Specifies the IP multicast “Time To Live” (TTL) setting for

 

Service Location Protocol (SLP) packets. The default value

 

is 4 hops (the number of routers from the local network).

 

The range is 1-15. When set to a -1, multicast capability

 

is disabled.
