ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 43
● RARP. A network-based server can use RARP (Reverse Address 
Resolution Protocol) to answer the print server's RARP request 
and supplying the print server with the IP address. The RARP 
method only allows you to configure the IP address. For more 
information, see “Using RARP
”.
● arp and ping commands. (For print servers configure with 
Legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192 only) You can use the arp 
and ping commands from your system. For more information, 
see “Using the arp and ping Commands
”.
● Telnet. You can set configuration parameters using Telnet. In 
order to set configuration parameters, set up a Telnet 
connection from your system to the HP Jetdirect print server 
using the default IP address. Once configured, the print server 
saves the configuration when powered off/on. For more 
information, see “Using Telnet
”.
● Embedded Web server. You can browse to the embedded Web 
server on the HP Jetdirect print server and setting the 
configuration parameters. For more information, see Chapter 4
.
● Printer Control Panel. (Internal Jetdirect print servers only) 
You can manually enter the configuration data using the printer 
control panel keys. The control panel method allows you to 
configure only a limited subset of configuration parameters 
(IP address, subnet mask, default gateway address, and 
idle timeout). Therefore, control panel configuration is 
recommended only during troubleshooting or for simple 
installations. If control panel configuration is used, the print 
server saves the configuration when powered off/on. For more 
information, see “Using the Printer Control Panel
”.
