Page 38 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 that is valid for your network. For general information on TCP/IP networks, see Appendix Server-Based and Manual TCP/IP Configuration When in a factory-default state and powered on, the HP Jetdirect...
Page 39: Default Ip Address
Default IP Address When in a factory-default state (for example, when shipped from the factory or after a cold-reset), the HP Jetdirect print server has no IP address. A default IP address may or may not be assigned depending on the network environment. Default IP Address Will Not Be Assigned A default IP address will not be assigned if a server-based method (such as BOOTP or DHCP) is successful.
Page 40 With link-local addresses, subnetting is not used. The subnet mask will be 255.255.0.0, and cannot be changed. Link-local addresses will not route off the local link, and access to or from the Internet will not be available. The default gateway address will be the same as the link-local address.
Page 41 DHCP Requests Enable/Disable When a default IP address is assigned, you can choose to send, or not send, periodic DHCP requests. DHCP requests are used to retrieve IP configuration settings from a DHCP server on the network. By default, this parameter is enabled, allowing DHCP requests to be transmitted.
Page 42 TCP/IP Configuration Tools Depending on your printer and operating system, an HP Jetdirect print server can be configured with valid TCP/IP parameters for your network in the following ways: Using Software. You can use your printer installation software or the HP Jetdirect print server installation software on supported systems.
Page 43 RARP. A network-based server can use RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol) to answer the print server's RARP request and supplying the print server with the IP address. The RARP method only allows you to configure the IP address. For more information, see “Using RARP”.
Page 44 Using BOOTP/TFTP For HP Jetdirect wireless print servers, this section Note assumes that a wireless connection to your network has been established. BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) and TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) provide a convenient way to automatically configure the HP Jetdirect print server for TCP/IP network operation. When powered on, the Jetdirect print server sends a BOOTP request message onto the network.
Page 45 Why Use BOOTP/TFTP? Using BOOTP/TFTP to download configuration data has the following benefits: Enhanced configuration control of the HP Jetdirect print server. Configuration by other methods, such as a printer control panel, are limited to select parameters. Ease of configuration management. Network configuration parameters for the entire network can be in one location.
Page 46 Configuring the BOOTP Server For the HP Jetdirect print server to obtain its configuration data over the network, the BOOTP/TFTP servers must be set up with the appropriate configuration files. BOOTP is used by the print server to obtain entries in the /etc/bootptab file on a BOOTP server, while TFTP is used to obtain additional configuration information from a configuration file on a TFTP server.
Page 47 Bootptab File Entries An example of a /etc/bootptab file entry for an HP Jetdirect print server is provided below: picasso:\ :hn:\ :ht=ether:\ :vm=rfc1048:\ :ha=0001E6123456:\ :ip=192.168.40.39:\ :sm=255.255.255.0:\ :gw=192.168.40.1:\ :lg=192.168.40.3:\ :T144=“hpnp/picasso.cfg”: Note that the configuration data contains “tags” to identify the various HP Jetdirect parameters and their settings.

Page 64: Using Dhcp
Using DHCP For HP Jetdirect wireless print servers, this section Note assumes that a wireless connection to your network has been established. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP, RFC 2131/2132) is one of several auto configuration mechanisms that the HP Jetdirect print server uses.
Page 65: Unix Systems
UNIX Systems For more information on setting up DHCP on UNIX systems, see the bootpd man page. On HP-UX systems, a sample DHCP configuration file (dhcptab) may be located in the /etc directory. Since HP-UX presently does not provide Dynamic Domain Name Services (DDNS) for its DHCP implementations, HP recommends that you set all print server lease durations to “infinite”.
Page 66 Windows NT 4.0 Server To set up a DHCP scope on a Windows NT 4.0 server, perform the following steps: 1. At the Windows NT server, open the Program Manager window and double-click the Network Administrator icon. 2. Double-click the DHCP Manager icon to open this window. 3.
Page 67 8. Skip this step if you have assigned unlimited leases in the previous step. Otherwise, select Scope and select Add Reservations to set up your printers as reserved clients. For each printer, perform the following steps in the Add Reserved Clients window to set up a reservation for that printer: a.
Page 68 Once the address appears in the list of IP addresses, select OK. This returns you to the DHCP Options window. If the address you have just added appears in the list of IP addresses (near the bottom of the window) return to step 10d.
Page 69 8. Set the IP address lease duration for your DHCP clients. Then click Next. HP recommends that all printers be assigned reserved IP addresses. This can be accomplished after you set up the scope (see step 11). 9. Select No to configure DHCP options for this scope later. Then click Next.
Page 70: Netware Systems
NetWare Systems NetWare 5.x servers provide DHCP configuration services for network clients, including the HP Jetdirect print server. To set up DHCP services on a NetWare server, refer to Novell documentation and support. To Discontinue DHCP Configuration CAUTION Changes to an IP address on your HP Jetdirect print server may require updates to printer or system printing configurations for clients or servers.
Page 71 Note If you choose to re-enable a DHCP configuration, the print server will acquire its configuration information from a DHCP server. This means that when you choose DHCP and complete your configuration session (using Telnet, for example), the TCP/IP protocol for the print server is re-initialized and all current configuration information is deleted.
Page 72: Using Rarp
Using RARP For HP Jetdirect wireless print servers, this section Note assumes that a wireless connection to your network has been established. This section describes how to configure the print server using the Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) on UNIX and Linux systems.
Page 73 7. Edit the /etc/ethers file (/etc/rarpd.conf file in HP-UX 10.20) to add the LAN hardware address/station address (from the configuration page) and the node name for the HP Jetdirect print server. For example: 00:01:E6:a8:b0:00 laserjet1 If your system uses Network Information Service Note (NIS), you need to incorporate changes to the NIS host and ethers databases.
Page 74: Using The Arp And Ping Commands
Using the arp and ping Commands For HP Jetdirect wireless print servers, this section Note assumes that a wireless connection to your network has been established. You can configure an HP Jetdirect print server with an IP address using an ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) command from a supported system.
Page 75 Depending on the system, the LAN hardware address may require a specific format. For example: For Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP arp -s 192.168.45.39 00-01-E6-a2-31-98 ping 192.168.45.39 For UNIX arp -s 192.168.45.39 00:01:E6:a2:31:98 ping 192.168.45.39 Note Once the IP address has been set on the print server, additional arp and ping commands will be ignored.
Page 76: Using Telnet
Using Telnet For HP Jetdirect wireless print servers, this section Note assumes that a wireless connection to your network has been established. This section describes how to configure the print server (firmware versionx.25.01 or greater) using Telnet. Although a Telnet connection may be protected by an administrator password, Telnet connections are not secure.

Page 174: Ftp Printing
FTP Printing Introduction FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a basic TCP/IP connectivity utility to transfer data between systems. FTP printing is a way to use FTP to send print files from a client system to an HP Jetdirect-connected printer. In an FTP printing session, the client connects and sends a print file to the HP Jetdirect FTP server which in turn passes the print file to the printer.
Page 175: Print Files
Print Files The HP Jetdirect FTP server transfers print files to the printer but does not interpret them. For proper printing, print files must be in a language recognized by the printer (such as PostScript, PCL, or unformatted text). For formatted print jobs, you must first print to a file from your application using the driver for the selected printer, then transfer the print file to the printer through an FTP session.
Page 176 Control Connection Using standard FTP, a control connection is opened by the client to the FTP server on the HP Jetdirect print server. FTP control connections are used to exchange commands between the client and the FTP server. The HP Jetdirect print server supports up to four control connections (or FTP sessions) simultaneously.
Page 177 FTP Login To start an FTP session, enter the following command from a MS-DOS or UNIX command prompt: ftp <IP address> where <IP address> is the valid IP address or node name configured for the HP Jetdirect print server. See Figure 6.1 Figure 6.1 FTP Login Example If the connection is successful, a Ready message will be displayed.
Page 178: Ending The Ftp Session
Ending the FTP Session To end an FTP session, type quit or bye. Prior to ending an FTP session, a Ctrl C command Note is recommended to ensure the data connection is closed. Commands Table 6.1 summarizes commands available to the user during an FTP printing session.

Page 242 TCP/IP Overview Introduction This appendix is intended to provide information to help you gain a basic understanding of TCP/IP. Similar to a common language that people use to communicate with each other, TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is a suite of protocols designed to define the way computers and other devices communicate with each other over a network.
Page 243 Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) TCP handles breaking the data into packets and recombining the packets on the receiving end by providing a connection-oriented, reliable, and guaranteed delivery service to another node on the network. When data packets are received at their destination, TCP calculates a checksum for each packet to verify the data is not corrupt.
Page 244 IP Address: (Network Portion) Network addresses are managed by an organization in Norfolk, Virginia recognized as InterNIC. InterNIC has been contracted by the National Science Foundation to manage the Internet addresses and domains. Network addresses are distributed to organizations that are in turn responsible for making sure all attached devices or hosts on the network are properly numbered.
Page 245 IP Address Structure and Class An IP address is comprised of 32 bits of information and divided into 4 sections containing 1 byte each section or 4 bytes total: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx For efficiency in routing, networks were broken down into three classes, so routing can begin simply by identifying the leading byte of information in the IP address.
Page 246: Configuring Ip Parameters
Configuring IP Parameters TCP/IP configuration parameters (such as IP address, subnet mask, default gateway) can be configured on the HP Jetdirect print server in a variety of ways. These values can be configured manually (for example, through Telnet, the embedded Web server, the arp and ping commands, and HP management software), or they can be automatically downloaded using DHCP or BOOTP each time the print server is turned on.
Page 247: Subnet Mask
Subnets When an IP network address for a particular network class is assigned to an organization, no provision is made for more than one network being present at that location. Local network administrators use subnets to partition a network into several different subnetworks.
Page 248: Default Gateway
Gateways Gateways (routers) are used to connect networks together. Gateways are devices that act as translators between systems that do not use the same communication protocols, data formatting, structures, languages, or architectures. Gateways repackage the data packets and change the syntax to match that of the destination system.
Page 249 The syslog server may not receive all syslog events from the HP Jetdirect print server: UDP does not guarantee delivery of messages. The HP Jetdirect print server attempts to eliminate duplicate messages (to minimize unnecessary network traffic). The volume of messages sent by the HP Jetdirect print server is configurable.
Page 250 Typical logfile entries of syslog messages are illustrated below: Oct 22 08:10:33 jd08 printer: error cleared Oct 22 15:06:07 jd04 printer: powered up Oct 22 15:07:56 jd04 printer: offline or intervention needed Oct 22 15:08:58 jd04 printer: error cleared Oct 24 17:52:27 jd37 printer: powered up Oct 24 18:28:13 jd37 printer: printer is disconnected Oct 24 18:37:46 jd07 printer: error cleared Oct 24 18:38:42 jd37 printer: powered up...
Page 251: Jetdirect 802.11B Wireless Print Servers
HP Jetdirect 802.11b Wireless Print Servers Introduction HP Jetdirect wireless print servers are printer accessories that support the IEEE 802.11b standard for a wireless Ethernet local area network (WLAN). It uses radio signals to communicate with other WLAN devices or computers. The IEEE 802.11b standard defines the radio frequencies, communication protocols and data formatting required for devices to communicate.
Page 252 Basic HP Jetdirect Wireless Concepts To assist in your installation of the HP Jetdirect wireless print servers on an IEEE 802.11b wireless LAN, this section provides an overview of some basic concepts that you may find helpful. For more information, refer to the documentation provided with your computer's wireless network interface card or with your Access Point, and to the IEEE 802.11b standards and related sources.
Page 253 Figure B.1 Infrastructure Mode Examples Access Point in enterprise workgroup Residential Gateway as Access Point Access Point as Wireless Repeater Some devices may be named for their basic function, but may also provide Access Point services. For example, a Residential Gateway may provide Access Point wireless functions while connecting devices to an enterprise intranet, or the Internet, through a telephone or broadband connection.
Page 254 You can use multiple Access Points on a network. You can strategically locate and configure your Access Points to create subgroups of wireless users and devices, and allow mobile users (and devices) to roam and connect to different Access Points without losing connection to the network.
