To configure TCP/IP parameters from the control panel, use the following instructions: 1. Press the MENU button until HP MIO 1 (or 2), or HP EIO 1 (or 2) appears. 2. Press the ITEM button until CFG NETWORK = NO appears. 3. Press the PLUS or VALUE button until CFG NETWORK = YES appears. NOTE: The CFG NETWORK = XXX (XXX being YES or NO) is a toggle, not a permanent setting. Changing it to YES allows the settings to be changed at that time. It will appear as CFG NETWORK = NO each time this menu is accessed. 4. Press SELECT or RESUME. 5. Press ITEM repeatedly until CFG TCP/IP = NO appears. 6. Press the PLUS or VALUE button until CFG TCP/IP = YES appears. NOTE: The CFG TCP/IP = XXX (XXX being YES or NO) is a toggle, not a permanent setting. Changing it to YES allows the settings to be changed at that time. It will appear as CFG TCP/IP = NO each time this menu is accessed. 7. Press SELECT or RESUME. 8. Press the ITEM repeatedly until BOOTP = YES* appears. 9. Press the PLUS or VALUE button until BOOTP = NO appears. NOTE: When using BootP or DHCP, keep the setting BOOTP = YES *. The BootP or DHCP server will configure the TCP/IP parameters on the HP Jetdirect. No other TCP/IP configuring is necessary. 10. Press SELECT or RESUME. The following two steps apply to the HP Jetdirect 610n cards only: DHCP=YES appears. Press the PLUS or VALUE button until DHCP = NO appears. NOTE: When using DHCP, keep the setting DHCP = YES *. The DHCP server will configure the TCP/IP parameters on the HP Jetdirect. No other TCP/IP configuring is necessary. 11.Press SELECT or RESUME. 12. Press ITEM until IP BYTE 1 = (value*) appears. 13. Press the PLUS or VALUE button, until the desired value of the first byte of the IP address appears. By pressing and holding the PLUS or VALUE button, the value will scroll rapidly (HP LaserJet 4000, 5000, and 8000 printers have a MINUS button to decrease the value). 14. Press SELECT or RESUME to save the value. 15. Press ITEM to continue. Repeat Steps 11-13 to configure the remaining bytes of the IP address. Repeat Steps 11-13 to configure the subnet mask bytes (SM BYTE 1=), syslog server IP address (LG BYTE 1=), default gateway (GW BYTE 1=), and timeout (TIMEOUT=). Press ONLINE, GO or MENU. Print a self-test page to verify the IP settings. If the test page does not show the correct settings, power cycle the printer and reprint the test page. Comment from [56]Panjandrum Comment Date: 10/03/2005 08:39AM PDT Basic Configurable TCP/IP parameters The following TCP/IP parameters can be configured using the front panel of the printer. The different models and firmware revisions of HP Jetdirect print servers have different capabilities and therefore different menus. Also, some menu items will only appear if the HP Jetdirect is connected to the network and configured (e.g., by DHCP) therefore the list of items below are not what you supposed to have available; rather, it is a description of those menu items that you might see on your particular printer: Config Method: Allows you to choose between the available configuration methods for IP addresses (DHCP, BOOTP, etc.) BootP= (Yes/No). Uses BOOTP or DHCP, which automatically downloads configuration data over the network. The default setting is YES to use BOOTP or DHCP for configuration. Change this to NO to use the front-panel configuration. DHCP=(Yes/No). Uses DHCP, which automatically downloads configuration data over the network. The default setting is YES to use DHCP for configuration. Change this to NO to use the front-panel configuration. Auto IP= (Yes/No). For firmware versions x.25.xx or newer. If you choose BOOTP=NO* and DHCP=NO*, you can choose AUTO IP=YES* to have a link-local default IP address of 169.254.x.x assigned automatically. Manual: (Yes/No). Allows the IP address to be configured using the front panel of the printer. DHCP Release. Only if the HP Jetdirect is configured by DHCP, this menu item will appear to release the IP address. DHCP Renew. Only if the HP Jetdirect is configured by DHCP, this menu item will appear to renew or the IP address. Host Name. Allows the host name to be entered in using the front panel of the printer. This only appears on certain printers with certain firmware and HP Jetdirect print servers with x.24.06 or newer firmware. Basically if the option isn't on the menu, the printer/print server combination does not have it available. Secure Web or Web= (HTTP/HTTPS). Sets the type of protocol used to access the embedded web server of the HP Jetdirect. IP address (four bytes). This is usually seen on the front panel as IP BYTE. For example: If the IP address is 192.0.0.192, then IP byte 1 = 192, IP byte 2= 0, IP byte 3 = 0, and IP byte 4 = 192. Subnet mask (four bytes). This is usually seen on the front panel as SM BYTE. Example: If the subnet mask address is 255.255.255.0, then IP byte 1 = 255, IP byte 2= 255, IP byte 3 = 255, and IP byte 4 = 0. Syslog server IP address (four bytes). This is usually seen on the front panel as LG BYTE. Example: If the syslog IP address is 192.30.40.192, then IP byte 1 = 192, IP byte 2= 30, IP byte 3 = 40, and IP byte 4 = 192. If no syslog server is on the network, each byte should be left at zero. A syslog server is a server on the network that runs a syslog daemon and is used to receive syslog messages. This may be useful in identifying error conditions. Default gateway (four bytes). This is usually seen on the front panel as GW BYTE. Example: If the Gateway IP address is 192.0.0.192, then IP byte 1 = 192, IP byte 2= 0, IP byte 3 = 0, and IP byte 4 = 192. Timeout=. Sets the TCP connection timeout (in seconds).
