Default Configuration - HP Jetdirect 250M User Manual

Default configuration

Fresh from the factory, before any configuration is changed by a user, the
HP Jetdirect 200m and 250m print servers have a default configuration
for TCP/IP and for IPX peer-to-peer printing (called IPX direct mode).
When power is applied in this factory-default state:
TCP/IP: The print server sends out several BOOTP requests and
one RARP request. If there is no reply, the print server sends out
several DHCP requests. If there is no reply, then the print server
uses the default IP address of 192.0.0.192 to appear on the
network ready for manual configuration by a user (using the
Install Network Printer wizard or any of the other configuration
methods).
IPX: The print server tries to determine and use the IPX network
number. It is then ready for further configuration by a user (using
the Install Network Printer wizard or any of the other
configuration methods).
When power is cycled thereafter, the configuration remains as set
previously.
For IPX, the network number is reassigned automatically.
For TCP/IP, one of the following applies:
If a BOOTP reply set the print server's IP configuration
previously, BOOTP replies continue to be sent when
power is cycled. If no reply is received, factory default
sequence continues, as described above.
If a DHCP reply set the print server's IP configuration
previously, DHCP requests continue to be sent
indefinitely.
If any configuration changes were made manually by a
user, then this manual configuration continues to be
used.
If none of the above have been set, the factory default
sequence is used, as described above.
Resetting the print server to factory defaults (cold reset)
The factory-default reset procedure is sometimes called a "cold reset" or a
"cold boot". When done, the print server responds exactly like it was fresh
from the factory. To reset the print server configuration to factory
