Section 4 - Chapter 6 - Telnet Configuration
Specify Print Server IP Address (Option 3)
This option allows you to select the method the
OkiLAN 6120e uses to obtain its IP address or to set a
permanent IP address. If the OkiLAN 6120e has been
configured to use a permanent IP address, a DHCP,
RARP or BOOTP server does not need to be available
when the OkiLAN 6120e is powered on.
If you change the IP address, the change will remain
undetected until the OkiLAN 6120e is reset or is
powered off and on.
Remember, when choosing a permanent IP address:
• The IP address must follow the format
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, where each XXX is a
number between 0 and 255.
• If you select an invalid IP address you may not be
able to access the OkiLAN 6120e.
• You can also use OkiNet for TCP/IP, OkiNet for
NetWare or the Banyan VINES OkiNet for VINES
utilities (may apply to other OkiLAN print server
models) to set a permanent IP address.
Note: If you select an invalid IP address you may not
be able to access the OkiLAN 6120e. Use this
option with care!
Specify the Subnet Mask for Your Network
(Option 4)
If your network environment includes subnets, you will
want to set the subnet mask.
The subnet mask must follow the format
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, where each XXX is a number
between 0 and 255.
The default subnet mask is 0.0.0.0. The OkiLAN 6120e
interprets a subnet mask of 0.0.0.0 or 255.255.255.255
as no subnet mask specified.
If you change the subnet mask, the change will remain
undetected until the OkiLAN 6120e is reset or is power
cycled.
