Setting IP Parameters using Telnet
The Elite 21 printer contains a Telnet utility which uses the standard remote terminal
protocol to configure the IP address, lpd/lpr printers, and other parameters for the
printer. Use the following guidelines to run Telnet. You have the same functionality
with the HTML pages accessed by MAP or WebAdmin, as described in Chapter 9.
Most often, you make selections from menus by toggling between one choice or
another, by selecting/deselecting or enabling/disabling an item.
Press Enter when not selecting an item. This will return you to a previous menu.
If you do not make a menu selection for 2 minutes, you get a "Two Minute Warning"
that within 2 more minutes your Telnet session will end. This ensures that one user
does not leave a session idle for too long.
Making Connection and Main Menu
• At the prompt, type:
telnet <printer IP address>
• When login: appears, type guest if you are only interested in browsing the menus
or sysadm if you want to change the configuration. Press Enter. When password:
appears, again type guest or sysadm and press Enter.
The main menu is displayed. This utility lets you change the IP Parameters, lpd/lpr
printers, protocols, restore to factory defaults, and change password. Press the
number for the parameter you wish to check or change and press Enter.
To end your Telnet session, type E at the Main Menu. If you have made any changes
you are prompted to either Save Changes and Exit or Exit Without Saving Changes.
Choose your option and press Enter.
