USING TELNET
The printer can be configured using TELNET. TELNET requires the printer to have a valid IP address configured. If the printer already has an IP address configured, skip steps one to three below.
CAUTION!
Please ensure a valid IP address for your network environment is used. Use of an incorrect IP address can cause serious problems on your network.
The following explanation uses Sun Solaris 2.4 as an example. The method of configuring commands may differ between workstations. Refer to the workstation’s manual.
1.Log in as [root].
If you do not have Superuser rights, the network manager should run the configuration.
2.Set a temporary IP Address on the NIC using the ARP command.
Example: for IP address 192.168.20.127 and network card address 00:80:87:01:00:D2
# arp –s 192.168.20.127 00:80:87:01:00:D2 temp
The Ethernet address (MAC address) is displayed during the
3.Use the PING command to confirm the connection with the network card.
Example: for IP address 192.168.20.127
# ping 192.168.20.127
If there is no reply, there is a problem with the configuration of the IP address (the IP address has been already set manually or dynamically), or with the network. Reset the network interface card settings to default and try to set temporary IP address. If you still have the problem after resetting the network interface card, consult the network manager.
