Configuration Through the Network with BOOTP

BOOTP is a protocol for configuring the Internal Ethernet Adapter as it
boots. During the boot sequence, the Print Server can broadcast a
BOOTP request and if a BOOTP server is running on the network
configured to respond to the requesting device, it will provide the
Internal Ethernet Adapter with its IP address, netmask, default router,
and a time server from which to query the current time (GMT) and the
timezone in which the Internal Ethernet Adapter is located.

By default, the Print Server will broadcast a BOOTP request when it
boots. The following command can be used to control this request:

store tcpip

ifnum opts [[-]bootp]

On the BOOTP server, there must be an entry in /etc/bootptab similar
to the following:

M205:\

:sm=

netmask:\

:hd=/usr/boot:\
:bf=null:\
:gw=

default router:\

:ht=ethernet:\
:ha=

network address:\ (i.e. 0080720000DC)

:ip=

ipaddress:\

:ts=

time server:\

:to=

timezone: (in seconds from GMT)

Restoring Factory Defaults

If at any time you would like to restore the Print Server’s

network

settings to their original state, you can perform a npsh command or
utilize the dipswitches on the Internal Ethernet Adapter itself.
