7.7.2 Configuring IP Parameters
Although the Network Interface Board must have an IP address before a Telnet connection
can be made, you can use the Telnet utility to change the address or the other IP
parameters. The Network Interface Board automatically initiates a soft reset when it
senses the IP address change.
Note:
This causes the Telnet connection to be broken. It is advisable to make all other
desired changes before changing the IP address.
To configure IP parameters:
1.
At the main menu, type
1
and press
Enter
to display the IP Parameters menu.

Type
1
again and press
Enter
.
The IP Address submenu is displayed:
3.
Type the number for the parameter you want to change and press
Enter

Note:
The base port number is one less than the actual TCP/IP port number used by the
printer. For example, to set the port number to 9100, enter 9099.
