HP (Hewlett-Packard) 175X Printer User Manual


 
Default configuration
for HP Jetdirect 175x external print server/Internet connector for USB
and HP Jetdirect 310x external print server/Internet connector for
USB
Fresh from the factory, before any configuration is changed by a user,
the print server has 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.
