TCP/IP Configuration 25
●
By browsing to the embedded Web server on the HP JetDirect
print server and setting the configuration parameters.
●
By manually entering the configuration data using the printer
control panel keys. The control panel method allows you to
configure only a limited subset of configuration parameters
(IP address, subnet mask, default gateway address, and idle
timeout). Therefore, control panel configuration is recommended
only during troubleshooting or for simple installations. If control
panel configuration is used, the print server saves the
configuration over power cycles.
Using BOOTP/TFTP
This section describes how to configure the print server using
BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) and TFTP (Trivial File Transfer
Protocol) services on UNIX servers. BOOTP and TFTP are used to
download network configuration data from a server to the HP
JetDirect print server over the network.
Note On Windows NT/2000 server systems, use the
Microsoft DHCP utilities to set up HP JetDirect
configuration via BOOTP. For more information,
see “Using DHCP”.
Note If the JetDirect print server and BOOTP/DHCP
server are located on different subnets, IP
configuration may fail unless the routing device
supports “BOOTP Relay” (allows the transfer of
BOOTP requests between subnets).
