Configuration tools that require a specific default IP address on the print server for initial communication might not function without modification. To view the default IP address settings on the print server, use the HP Jetdirect configuration page. TCP/IP configuration tools When a network connection is established, you can configure an HP Jetdirect print server with valid TCP/IP parameters for your network, using the following methods: ● Software solutions Use installation, setup, and management software running on supported systems. For more information see HP software solutions summary on page 7. ● BOOTP/TFTP Download the data from a network-based server by using BOOTP and TFTP each time the printer is turned on. For more information, see "Use BOOTP/TFTP (IPv4) on page 22". The BOOTP daemon (bootpd) must be running on a BOOTP server that is accessible by the printer. ● DHCP/TFTP Use DHCP and TFTP each time the printer is turned on. These protocols are supported on HP-UX, Solaris, Linux, Windows 2000/Server 2003, NetWare, and Mac OS systems. (See your network operating system manuals to verify that your server supports DHCP.) For more information, see Use DHCP (IPv4) on page 34. NOTE: For more information about Linux and UNIX systems, see the bootpd man page. On HP-UX systems, a sample DHCP configuration file (dhcptab) might be located in the /etc directory. Because HP-UX does not currently provide dynamic domain name system (DDNS) services for its DHCP implementations, HP recommends that you set all print server lease durations to infinite. This ensures that print server IP addresses remain static until DDNS is provided. ● RARP Use RARP to answer the print server's RARP request and supply the print server with the IP address. The RARP method allows you to only configure the IP address. For more information, see "Use RARP (IPv4) on page 36". ● arp and ping commands (Only for print servers configured with Legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192) Use the arp and ping commands from your system. For more information, see "Use the arp and ping commands (IPv4) on page 37". ● Telnet Set configuration parameters by creating a Telnet connection from your system to the HP Jetdirect print server, using the default IP address. Once configured, the print server saves the configuration when turned off and then turned on. For more information, see "Use Telnet (IPv4) on page 38". ● Embedded Web server Use the embedded Web server on the HP Jetdirect print server to set configuration parameters. For more information, see Embedded Web server (V.38.xx) on page 61. ● Printer control panel (For printers that support HP Jetdirect control panel menus.) Manually enter the configuration data, using the printer control panel keys. Because you can configure a limited subset of the configuration parameters, control panel configuration is recommended only during troubleshooting or for simple installations. If control panel configuration is used, the print server saves the configuration when turned off and then turned on. For more information, see "Use the printer control panel on page 58".

Configuration tools that require a specific default IP address on the print server for initial communication
might not function without modification. To view the default IP address settings on the print server, use
the HP Jetdirect configuration page.
TCP/IP configuration tools
When a network connection is established, you can configure an HP Jetdirect print server with valid
TCP/IP parameters for your network, using the following methods:
●
Software solutions
Use installation, setup, and management software running on supported
systems. For more information see
HP software solutions summary
on page
7
.
●
BOOTP/TFTP
Download the data from a network-based server by using BOOTP and TFTP each
time the printer is turned on. For more information, see “
Use BOOTP/TFTP (IPv4)
on page
22
”.
The BOOTP daemon (bootpd) must be running on a BOOTP server that is accessible by the printer.
●
DHCP/TFTP
Use DHCP and TFTP each time the printer is turned on. These protocols are
supported on HP-UX, Solaris, Linux, Windows 2000/Server 2003, NetWare, and Mac OS systems.
(See your network operating system manuals to verify that your server supports DHCP.) For more
information, see
Use DHCP (IPv4)
on page
34
.
NOTE:
For more information about Linux and UNIX systems, see the bootpd
man
page.
On HP-UX systems, a sample DHCP configuration file (dhcptab) might be located in the
/etc
directory.
Because HP-UX does not currently provide dynamic domain name system (DDNS) services for its
DHCP implementations, HP recommends that you set all print server lease durations to
infinite
.
This ensures that print server IP addresses remain static until DDNS is provided.
●
RARP
Use RARP to answer the print server's RARP request and supply the print server with the
IP address. The RARP method allows you to only configure the IP address. For more information,
see “
Use RARP (IPv4)
on page
36
”.
●
arp and ping commands
(Only for print servers configured with Legacy default IP address
192.0.0.192) Use the
arp
and
ping
commands from your system. For more information, see “
Use
the arp and ping commands (IPv4)
on page
37
”.
●
Telnet
Set configuration parameters by creating a Telnet connection from your system to the
HP Jetdirect print server, using the default IP address. Once configured, the print server saves the
configuration when turned off and then turned on. For more information, see “
Use Telnet (IPv4)
on page
38
”.
●
Embedded Web server
Use the embedded Web server on the HP Jetdirect print server to set
configuration parameters. For more information, see
Embedded Web server (V.38.xx)
on page
61
.
●
Printer control panel
(For printers that support HP Jetdirect control panel menus.) Manually enter
the configuration data, using the printer control panel keys. Because you can configure a limited
subset of the configuration parameters, control panel configuration is recommended only during
troubleshooting or for simple installations. If control panel configuration is used, the print server
saves the configuration when turned off and then turned on. For more information, see “
Use the
printer control panel
on page
58
”.
