Using SNMP

NetportExpress print servers can be managed from SNMP consoles such as HP
OpenView*. For more information, see SNMP in the Online Guide index.

Using Telnet

You can use Telnet to check the print server status and change settings on the
NetportExpress print server. You also can use Telnet to change port and IP
settings if you don't have a Web browser. For advanced tasks, use Netport
Manager or Web Netport Manager.
Display the Telnet main menu
1 From a DOS or UNIX prompt of a workstation running TCP/IP, type
telnet netport_ip_address
where
netport_ip_address is the IP address of the NetportExpress print
server.
2 Log in as root using the password you set on the NetportExpress print
server, or press Enter if you have not set a password.

Security

You can set passwords to limit who can configure the print server and to restrict
printing access to individual printers. For example, if you have a color printer,
then you can restrict access to that printer. To set passwords, go to Passwords on
the Options menu in Netport Manager or Web Netport Manager.

About IP addresses

By default, the print server tries to get an IP address using RARP, BOOTP, and
DHCP. If a 10 or 10/100 print server fails to obtain an IP address by one of these
methods, it automatically assigns itself an IP address in the 169.254.x.x range.
Press the Test Page or Diag button on the print server to see if an IP address has
been set on the print server. The easiest way to set an IP address is to use
Netport Manager. If you are setting up to print with LPR, assign a static IP
address to the print server. For information on manually setting an IP address,
see IP Address, setting manually in the Online Guide index.
