Using TELNET
The printer can be configured using TELNET. TELNET requires the
printer to have a valid IP address configured. If the printer already has
an IP address configured, skip steps one to three below.
>
Note: Please ensure a valid IP address for your network
environment is used. Use of an incorrect IP address can cause
serious problems on your network.
The following explanation uses Sun Solaris 2.4 as an example. The
method of configuring commands may differ between workstations.
Refer to the workstation's manual.
1.
Login as [root].
If you do not have Superuser rights, the network manager should run
the configuration.
2.
Set a temporary IP Address on the NIC using the ARP command.
Example: for IP address 192.168.20.127 and network card address
00:80:87:01:00:D2
# arp –s 192.168.20.127 00:80:87:01:00:D2 temp
The Ethernet address (MAC address) is displayed during the self-
diagnostic test. A temporary address does not need to be set if an IP
address has already been set.
3.
Use the PING command to confirm the connection with the
network card.
Example: for IP address 192.168.20.127
# ping 192.168.20.127
If there is no reply, there is a problem with the configuration of the IP
address (the IP address has been already set manually or
dynamically), or with the network. Reset the network interface card
settings to default and try to set temporary IP address. If you still have
the problem after resetting the network interface card, consult the
network manager.
