Chapter 8 HP e3000 / MPE-XL / MPE / iX: Host Configuration

g.at the SYSGEN prompt, enter the commands:

SYSGEN> keep SYSGEN> exit

h.to have the new configuration take effect, reboot the system with the command, start norecovery. It is also possible to configure the device online by using the command, ioconfig.

2.Identify the IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway value to be used for each NIC. These values are necessary for any network printing. Often, only the IP address value will vary from printer to printer.

You can assign these values to NIC by entering the values in the printer control panel (see page 68), or by using the bootpd process as described in Configuring and Managing MPE/iX Internet Services. If you use bootpd, create an entry in the bootpd configuration file for each NIC you are adding. For example:

printer1: ht=ether: ha=00807209yyyy: ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:\

sm=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: gw=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:

Note	Be sure to replace the xxx fields with the correct IP Address, Subnet
	mask, and Gateway mask values you are using.

In this example, the ha value is the MAC address of NIC being added. Replace yyyy with the last four digits of the MAC address for the individual print server. If NIC is pre-installed, the MAC address can be obtained by using the P5000LJ Series printer diagnostic print test E-Net Test Page, or by using the printer control panel to view the MAC Address value in the ETHERNET PARAMS configuration submenu (displayed on page 125). In addition, a label attached to the rear of the printer will show the MAC address, which reads 00:80:72:xx:yy:zz.

3.Configure the printer so the active emulation is PCL, PCL/PGL, or PCL/VGL, depending on your printer software. This configuration should also be set as the printer’s power-up configuration.

4.Log in to NIC using a telnet session. You can use telnet on your HP e3000, or another workstation with TCP/IP installed (such as Windows, etc.), or via a web browser session. Use the following commands to establish a reverse communication channel for PJL to function:

a.telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx or telnet host_name

(example: telnet 192.192.192.192 or telnet LJ50001)

Note	The telnet host_name command will only work if the host's table entry
	(with the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx format has been defined in the host file of the
	HP e3000).
	b. log in as user name root, no password (or by using the user name
	and password you may have stored in the adapter).
