3 TCP/IP Configuration To operate properly on a TCP/IP network, the HP Jetdirect print server must be configured with valid TCP/IP network configuration parameters, such as an IP address that is valid for your network. For general information on TCP/IP networks, see TCP/IP Overview. Server-Based and Manual TCP/IP Configuration When in a factory-default state and initially powered on, the HP Jetdirect print server will systematically try to obtain its TCP/IP configuration using a server-based method (BOOTP, DHCP, and RARP, described later in this chapter). Up to two minutes are used. If configuration is not successful, a default IP address will be assigned. The print server may also be configured manually. Manual-based tools include Telnet, a Web browser, the printer control panel, arp and ping commands (when the default IP address is 192.0.0.192), or SNMP-based management software. TCP/IP configuration values assigned manually will be retained when powered off/on. The print server can be re-configured to use either server-based or manual configuration of TCP/IP settings at any time. To identify the IP address that is configured on the print server at any time, see the HP Jetdirect configuration page. Default IP Address When in a factory-default state (for example, when shipped from the factory or after a cold reset), the HP Jetdirect print server has no IP address. A default IP address may or may not be assigned depending on the network environment. Default IP Address Will Not Be Assigned A default IP address will not be assigned if a server-based method (such as BOOTP or DHCP) is successful. And if the print server is powered off/on, the same method will again be used to retrieve IP configuration settings. If this method now fails to retrieve the IP configuration settings (for example, the BOOTP or DHCP server is no longer available), a default IP address will not be assigned. Instead, the print server will continue to send IP configuration requests indefinitely. You must cold-reset the print server to change this behavior. In addition, a default IP address will not be assigned if a network cable is not attached to the print server. ENWW Server-Based and Manual TCP/IP Configuration 9
