HP e3000 / MPE-XL / MPE / iX: Host Configuration
g.
at the
SYSGEN
prompt, enter the commands:
SYSGEN> keep
SYSGEN> exit
h.
to have the new configuration take effect, reboot the system with the
command,
start norecovery
. It is also possible to configure the
device online by using the command,
ioconfig
.
2.
Identify the IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway value to be used for
each NIC. These values are necessary for any network printing. Often,
only the IP address value will vary from printer to printer.
You can assign these values to NIC by entering the values in the printer
control panel (see page 68), or by using the bootpd process as described
in Configuring and Managing MPE/iX Internet Services. If you use bootpd,
create an entry in the bootpd configuration file for each NIC you are
adding. For example:
printer1: ht=ether: ha=00807209yyyy:
ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:\
sm=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: gw=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:
In this example, the
ha
value is the MAC address of NIC being added.
Replace
yyyy
with the last four digits of the MAC address for the
individual print server. If NIC is pre-installed, the MAC address can be
obtained by using the P5000LJ Series printer diagnostic print test E-Net
Test Page, or by using the printer control panel to view the MAC Address
value in the ETHERNET PARAMS configuration submenu (displayed on
page 125). In addition, a label attached to the rear of the printer will show
the MAC address, which reads 00:80:72:xx:yy:zz.
3.
Configure the printer so the active emulation is PCL, PCL/PGL, or
PCL/VGL, depending on your printer software. This configuration should
also be set as the printer’s power-up configuration.
4.
Log in to NIC using a telnet session. You can use telnet on your HP
e3000, or another workstation with TCP/IP installed (such as Windows,
etc.), or via a web browser session. Use the following commands to
establish a reverse communication channel for PJL to function:
a.
telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
or
telnet host_name
(example:
telnet 192.192.192.192
or
telnet LJ50001
)
b.
log in as user name
root
, no password (or by using the user name
and password you may have stored in the adapter).
Note
Be sure to replace the
xxx
fields with the correct IP Address, Subnet
mask, and Gateway mask values you are using.
Note
The
telnet host_name
command will only work if the host's table entry
(with the
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
format has been defined in the host file of the
HP e3000).
