Using the Embedded Web Server You can set IP parameters on HP Jetdirect print servers that support the embedded Web server. For more information, refer to Using the Embedded Web Server. Using the Printer Control Panel When supported by the printer, HP Jetdirect print servers provide a configuration menu that can be accessed from the printer's control panel. Using this menu, you can enable, disable and set basic network parameters. For a summary of the available menu items, see The HP Jetdirect Control Panel Menu. NOTE For instructions on using the control panel for your printer, refer to your printer documentation. When accessing the HP Jetdirect menu from the printer's control panel, the TCP/IP network configuration parameters that you can set include the following: ■ IP address of the print server ■ Subnet mask ■ Default gateway address ■ Syslog server address ■ Idle timeout period ■ IP host name ■ DHCP lease behavior (release or renew) ■ Primary and Secondary DNS servers ■ Link speed and communication mode If you need to configure more TCP/IP parameters than allowed by control panel configuration, use an alternate configuration tool (such as Telnet or the embedded Web server). If the HP Jetdirect print server is configured with TCP/IP settings from the printer control panel, the configuration is saved on the print server when powered off/on. Moving to Another Network When moving an HP Jetdirect print server that is configured with an IP address to a new network, make sure that the IP address does not conflict with addresses on the new network. You may change the IP address of the print server to one that can be used on the new network, or erase the current IP address and configure another address on the new network. See Troubleshooting the HP Jetdirect Print Server for instructions to reset the print server to factory default settings. If the current BOOTP server is not reachable, you may need to locate a different BOOTP server and configure the printer to this server. If the print server was configured using BOOTP, DHCP or RARP, edit the appropriate system files with updated settings. If the IP address was manually set (for example, from the printer control panel or Telnet), re-configure IP parameters as described in this chapter. ENWW Using the Embedded Web Server 41

Using the Embedded Web Server
You can set IP parameters on HP Jetdirect print servers that support the embedded Web server. For
more information, refer to
Using
the
Embedded
Web
Server
.
Using the Printer Control Panel
When supported by the printer, HP Jetdirect print servers provide a configuration menu that can be
accessed from the printer's control panel. Using this menu, you can enable, disable and set basic
network parameters. For a summary of the available menu items, see
The
HP
Jetdirect
Control
Panel
Menu
.
NOTE
For instructions on using the control panel for your printer, refer to your printer
documentation.
When accessing the HP Jetdirect menu from the printer's control panel, the TCP/IP network
configuration parameters that you can set include the following:
■
IP address of the print server
■
Subnet mask
■
Default gateway address
■
Syslog server address
■
Idle timeout period
■
IP host name
■
DHCP lease behavior (release or renew)
■
Primary and Secondary DNS servers
■
Link speed and communication mode
If you need to configure more TCP/IP parameters than allowed by control panel configuration, use an
alternate configuration tool (such as Telnet or the embedded Web server).
If the HP Jetdirect print server is configured with TCP/IP settings from the printer control panel, the
configuration is saved on the print server when powered off/on.
Moving to Another Network
When moving an HP Jetdirect print server that is configured with an IP address to a new network,
make sure that the IP address does not conflict with addresses on the new network. You may
change the IP address of the print server to one that can be used on the new network, or erase the
current IP address and configure another address on the new network. See
Troubleshooting
the
HP
Jetdirect
Print
Server
for instructions to reset the print server to factory default settings.
If the current BOOTP server is not reachable, you may need to locate a different BOOTP server and
configure the printer to this server.
If the print server was configured using BOOTP, DHCP or RARP, edit the appropriate system files
with updated settings. If the IP address was manually set (for example, from the printer control panel
or Telnet), re-configure IP parameters as described in this chapter.
