TCP/IP Configuration

Introduction

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. Depending on your printer and
system, this can be done in the following ways:
Note
● By downloading the data from a network-based UNIX server
using BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) and TFTP (Trivial File
Transfer Protocol) each time the print server is turned on.
Note
● By using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This
protocol is supported in HP-UX, Solaris, Linux, Windows and
Mac OS systems. (Refer to your network operating system
manuals to verify that your operating system supports DHCP.)
ENWW
When shipped from the factory, the HP Jetdirect
print server has no IP address. If the HP Jetdirect
print server is not configured with a valid IP
address within two minutes after power up, a
factory default value of 192.0.0.192 will be
automatically assigned. This address must be
reconfigured with a valid address for use on your
TCP/IP network. For more information on TCP/IP
networks, see appendix A.
The BOOTP daemon, bootpd, must be running on a
BOOTP server that is accessible by the print server.
