Chapter 7 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 LineJet Print Server. 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 the LineJet Print Server by entering the
values in the printer control panel (see page 62), 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 LineJet Print Server you are adding. For example:
printer1: ht=ether: ha=00807209
yyyy
:
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 the LineJet Print
Server being added. Replace
yyyy
with the last four digits of the MAC
address for the individual print server. If the LineJet Print Server is pre-
installed, the MAC address can be obtained by using the LineJet 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 120). 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 the LineJet Print Server 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 LineJet1
)
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).
