NOTE Once the IP address has been set on the print server, additional arp and ping
commands will be ignored. Once the IP address is configured, arp and ping cannot be used
unless the print server is reset to factory values (see
Troubleshooting the HP Jetdirect Print
Server).
On UNIX systems, the arp -s command may vary between different systems.
Some BSD-based systems expect the IP address (or host name) in reverse order. Other
systems may require additional parameters. See your system documentation for specific
command formats.
Using Telnet
This section describes how to configure the print server (firmware version V.30.xx) using Telnet.
Although a Telnet connection may be protected by an administrator password, Telnet connections
are not secure. For networks with high security levels, Telnet connections can be disabled on the
print server using other tools (for example, TFTP, embedded Web server, or HP Web Jetadmin
software).
Creating a Telnet Connection
To use Telnet commands with the HP Jetdirect print server, a route must be available from your
workstation to the print server. If the print server and your computer must have a similar IP address,
that is, the network portion of their IP addresses match, chances are that a route will exist. For
information on IP address structure, see
TCP/IP Overview.
If their IP addresses do not match, then you can either change your workstation's IP address to
match, or you can try an operating system command to create a route to the print server. (For
example, if the print server is configured with a legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192, a route will not
likely exist.)
On Windows systems, you can use the route command at a Windows command (DOS) prompt to
create a route to the print server.
For information on system command prompts, see your Windows online help. On Windows NT
systems, the command prompt utility is in the Programs folder (click Start, Programs, Command
Prompt). On Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 systems, it is in the Accessories folder in the
Programs or All Programs folder.
To use the route command, you will also need the IP address of your workstation. To view it, you can
enter the appropriate command at the command prompt:
C:\> ipconfig (on Windows NT/2000/XP/Server 2003)
C:\> winipconfig (on Windows 98)
To create a route from the system command prompt, enter the following command:
route add <Jetdirect IP Address> <system IP Address>
where <Jetdirect IP address> is the IP address configured on the HP Jetdirect print server,
and <system IP address> is the IP address of the workstation's network card that is attached to
the same physical LAN as the print server.
