Additional Printing & Configuration Options 8-4
If you prefer not to use DHCP for IP address assignment, it may be disabled with the
printer front panel, with the MAP utility, or by connecting to the 2000E IP address
with a browser. The enable/disable DHCP setting may be found in the Setup TCP/IP
section under the Protocols heading.
8.3 Telnet
This section describes the interactive setup capability accessible through the Telnet
utility on any TCP/IP platform, and is equally applicable to Windows, UNIX, and
other TCP/IP environments. Telnet uses the existing 2000E IP address to establish a
connection. Therefore, to open a Telnet session, the 2000E must already have a valid
IP address assigned.
The Telnet utility uses the standard remote terminal protocol to configure the IP
address, lpd printers, and other parameters on your system. Use the following
guidelines to run Telnet. The same functionality is provided with the HTML pages
accessed by MAP or a Web Browser as described ion Chapter 3.
General Telnet Usage
• Telnet selections are made from menus by toggling between choices or by selecting/
deselecting or enabling/disabling an item.
• To return to a previous menu, press Enter without making a selection.
• 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.
