DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol)

For Automatic IP address assignment. DHCP server provides
the product with an IP address. Generally requires no user
intervention for product to obtain IP address from a DHCP
server.

BOOTP (bootstrap protocol)

For Automatic IP address assignment. BOOTP server
provides the product with an IP address. Requires
administrator to input the product MAC hardware address on
BOOTP server in order for product to obtain an IP address from
that server.

Auto IP

For Automatic IP address assignment. If neither a DHCP
server nor a BOOTP server is present, this service allows the
product to generate a unique IP address.

Manual IP

Manually configure the IP address on the print server using the
printer control panel or the embedded Web server.

Telnet

Set configuration parameters by using the default IP address
to create a Telnet connection from your system to the HP
Jetdirect print server. Once configured, the print server saves
the configuration when turned off and then turned on.

RARP

You can configure the print server to use RARP on UNIX and
Linux systems. Use RARP to answer the print server's RARP
request and supply the print server with the IP address. The
RARP method allows you to only configure the IP address.

ARP/PING

You can configure an HP Jetdirect print server with an IP
address using the arp command from a supported system.
The workstation from which the configuration is made must be
located on the same network segment as the HP Jetdirect print
server.

Install the product on a network
