Table 3-3Telnet Commands and Parameters (continued)

Current Channel

(Read-only parameter) The channel that the wireless print server is currently using.

 

 

Signal Strength

(Read-only parameter) Strength of the radio signal received by the print server.

 

<blank>: No radio signal detected while the print server is scanning.

 

No Signal: No radio signal detected on any channel.

 

Poor/Marginal/Good/Excellent: Detected signal strength level.

 

 

Access Point Mac

(Read-only parameter) The media access control (MAC) address of the access point used

 

for Infrastructure mode communications, as in the following example:

 

00:a0:f8:38:7a:f7

 

In this example, the access point with MAC address 00a0f8387af7 is used for

 

communicating on the network.

 

 

TCP/IP Main

 

 

 

llmnr

Link local multicast name resolution (LLMNR).

 

0: Disable.

 

1 (defualt): Enable.

 

 

host-name

Name of the network device. Enter up to 32 alphanumeric characters.

 

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

Print server configuration method. Use the following values:

 

manual: Wait for IP parameters using manual tools, such as Telnet, the HP Embedded

 

Web Server, the control panel, or installation/management software. Status is User

 

Specified.

 

bootp: Send BOOTP requests on the network for dynamic IP configuration.

 

dhcp: Send DHCP requests on the network for dynamic IP configuration.

 

auto_ip: Automatically configure with a unique link-local address 169.254.x.x.

 

 

ipsec-config

NOTE: The ipsec-configcommand is available on print servers that support both

firewall-config

IPsec and Firewall configuration. The firewall-configcommand is available on full-

featured print servers that do not support IPsec, but allow Firewall configuration.

 

 

Disable IPsec or Firewall operation on the print server after IPsec/Firewall policies are

 

configured and enabled. You cannot enable IPsec/Firewall operation using this

 

command. Instead, use the HP Embedded Web Server to configure and enable IPsec/

 

Firewall polices.

 

0: Disable IPsec/Firewall operation.

 

1: (Read Only) IPsec/Firewall policies are configured and enabled.

 

 

IPv4 configuration
