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
”.
