Using Telnet Note For HP Jetdirect wireless print servers, this section assumes that a wireless connection to your network has been established. This section describes how to configure the print server (firmware version x.25.01 or greater) using Telnet. Although a Telnet connection may be protected by an administrator password, Telnet connections are not secure. For networks with high security levels, Telnet connections can be disabled on the print server using other tools (for example, TFTP, embedded Web server, or HP Web Jetadmin software). Creating a Telnet Connection To use Telnet commands with the HP Jetdirect print server, a route must be available from your workstation to the print server. If the print server and your computer must have a similar IP address, that is, the network portion of their IP addresses match, chances are that a route will exist. For information on IP address structure, see Appendix A. If their IP addresses do not match, then you can either change your workstation's IP address to match, or you can try an operating system command to create a route to the print server. (For example, if the print server is configured with a legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192, a route will not likely exist.) On Windows systems, you can use aroute command at a Windows command (DOS) prompt to create a route to the print server. For information on system command prompts, see your Windows online help. On Windows NT systems, the command prompt utility is in the Programs folder (click Start, Programs, Command Prompt). On Windows 2000/XP systems, it is in the Accessories folder in the Programs folder. ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 76
