Using Telnet - HP Jetdirect 250M User Manual

Using Telnet

This section describes how to configure the print server
(firmware version x.21.01 or greater) using Telnet.
Note To use Telnet commands with the HP Jetdirect print
server, a route must be available from your
workstation to the print server. This means that there
must be a match between the network identification of
your system to that of the HP Jetdirect print server.
(For example, if the print server is configured with it's
default IP address, a route may not exist.)
On Windows 95/98 and NT/2000 systems, you can
use the following route command at a DOS prompt
to add a route to the print server:
route add <Jetdirect IP Address> <system IP
Address>
where <Jetdirect IP address> is the IP address
configured on the HP Jetdirect print server, and
<system IP address> is the IP address of the
workstation's network card that is attached to the
same physical LAN as the print server.
Example: route add 192.168.45.39 192.170.1.2
Using Telnet to manually set an IP address will
override dynamic IP configuration (such as BOOTP,
DHCP, or RARP), resulting in a static configuration.
In a static configuration, the IP values are fixed and
the operation of BOOTP, DHCP, RARP and other
dynamic configuration methods may no longer
function.
Whenever you are manually changing an IP address,
you should also reconfigure the subnet mask and
default gateway at the same time.
Initiating a typical Telnet session is illustrated below
