ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 74

Using Telnet

Note For HP Jetdirect wireless print servers, this section

assumes that a wireless connection to your network

has been established.

This section describes how to configure the print server

using Telnet.

Although a Telnet connection may be protected by an administrator

password, Telnet connections are not secure. For networks with

high security levels, Telnet connections can be disabled on the print

server using other tools (for example, TFTP, embedded Web server,

or HP Web Jetadmin software).

Creating a Telnet Connection

To use Telnet commands with the HP Jetdirect print server, a route

must be available from your workstation to the print server. If the

print server and your computer must have a similar IP address,

that is, the network portion of their IP addresses match, chances

are that a route will exist. For information on IP address structure,

see Appendix A

If their IP addresses do not match, then you can either change your

workstation’s IP address to match, or you can try an operating

system command to create a route to the print server. (For example,

if the print server is configured with a legacy default IP address

192.0.0.192, a route will not likely exist.)

On Windows systems, you can use the “route” command at a

Windows command (DOS) prompt to create a route to the print

server.

For information on system command prompts, see your Windows

online help. On Windows NT systems, the command prompt utility

is in the Programs folder (click Start, Programs, Command

Prompt). On Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 systems, it is in the

Accessories folder in the Programs or All Programs folder.
