Table 3-3Telnet Commands and Parameters (continued)

user-timeout

Seconds that a Telnet or FTP session is idle before it is automatically disconnected. Set

 

from 1 to 3600 seconds.

 

0: Disable.

 

900 (default): Enable.

 

CAUTION: Setting this to a short time period might disable Telnet/FTP, because a

 

session could terminate before changes can be made.

 

 

cold-reset

Reset to TCP/IP factory default settings after a cold reset. (Parameters for other

 

subsystems, such as IPX/SPX or AppleTalk, are not affected.)

 

0: Disable. Retain TCP/IP settings after a cold reset.

 

1: Enable. Restore factory default TCP/IP settings.

 

 

icmp-ts-config

ICMPv4 time stamp requests.

 

0 (default): Disable

 

1: Enable

 

 

ews-config

Allow use of the HP Embedded Web Server on the HP Jetdirect print server.

 

0 Disable.

 

1 (default): Enable.

 

For more information, see HP Embedded Web Server (V.40.xx) on page 64.

 

 

web-refresh

Time interval for the HP Embedded Web Server diagnostic page updates. Set from 1 to

 

99999 seconds.

 

0: Disable.

 

 

tcp-mss

Maximum segment size (MSS) that the HP Jetdirect print server advertises for use when

 

communicating with local subnets (Ethernet MSS=1460 bytes or more) or remote subnets

 

(MSS=536 bytes).

 

0 (default): All networks are assumed to be local (Ethernet MSS=1460 bytes or more).

 

1: Use MSS=1460 bytes (or more) for subnets, and MSS=536 bytes for remote networks.

 

2: All networks are assumed to be remote (MSS=536 bytes), except the local subnet.

 

MSS affects performance by preventing IP fragmentation that can result in data

 

retransmission.

 

 

tcp-msl

Maximum segment life (MSL) in seconds. Set from 5 to 120 seconds.

 

0: Disable.

 

15 (default): Enable.

 

 

gw-disable

Automatically assign the device IP address as the gateway when a network gateway is

 

not configured.

 

0: Assign a gateway using the device IP address.

 

1: Do not assign a gateway. The gateway address 0.0.0.0 is configured.
