Changing the IP Address settings with the Remote Console




a

If you are using the remote console, such as TELNET, you will be expected to enter

the password of the print server. Press RETURN and enter the default password of
access” in response to the "#" prompt (it will not echo).


b

You will be prompted for a user name. Enter anything in response to this prompt.


c

You will then get the

Local>

prompt. Type

SET IP ADDRESS ipaddress

,

where

ipaddress

is the desired IP address you wish to assign to the print server (check

with your network manager for the IP address to use). For example:

Local> SET IP ADDRESS 192.189.207.3

d

You will now need to set the subnet mask by typing

SET IP SUBNET subnet

mask

, where

subnet mask

is the desired subnet mask you wish to assign to the print

server (check with your network manager for the subnet mask to use). For example:

Local> SET IP SUBNET 255.255.255.0


If you do not have any subnets, use one of the following default subnet masks:

255.255.255.0

for class C networks

255.255.0.0

for class B networks

255.0.0.0

for class A networks


e

The leftmost group of digits in your IP address can identify the type of network you

have. The value of this group ranges from 192 through 255 for Class C networks (e.g.,
192.189.207.3), 128 through 191 for Class B networks (e.g.,128.10.1.30), and 1 through
127 for Class A networks (e.g., 13.27.7.1).


f

If you have a gateway (router), enter its address with the command

SET IP

ROUTER routeraddress

, where

routeraddress

is the desired IP address of the

gateway you wish to assign to the print server. For example:

Local> SET IP ROUTER 192.189.207.1

To verify that you have entered the IP information correctly, type

SHOW IP

.


H

Type

EXIT

or CTR-D (i.e., hold down the control key and type “D”) to end the

remote console session.
