Changing the IP Address settings with 
the TELNET Console

You can also use the TELNET command to change the IP address.

Using TELNET is effective way, when you change the IP address. But 
a valid IP address must already be programmed into the print server.

If you are using the 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).

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

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

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

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).
