Assigning an IP Address via a Telnet Session
If your environment is not Windows-based, this section is for you. However, this method can
be used in a Windows environment, too.
The methods used for assigning an IP address with a Telnet session are Static Route and
Gleaning.
Before you can Telnet to the 10/100 Internal PS and configure it, you must first assign the
10/100 Internal PS a temporary IP address.
Static Route
To use this method, complete these steps:
1.
Turn on
(I)
the printer and wait for 2 minutes to allow for the device to complete the
self-test.
During this time, the 10/100 Internal PS performs an address broadcast. If no address is
assigned to the unit (via DHCP or Bootp), it uses a default address. The default address for
10/100 Internal PS is 192.168.254.254. Print the 10/100 Internal PS configuration
label to confirm the address. For details, see
.
2.
You can use the route add command to place the default IP address into the
workstation's network routing table.
3.
At the workstation/host command prompt (in Windows, at the DOS prompt), type:
route add **** "IP address of the workstation" 0
4.
Telnet to the 10/100 Internal PS by typing:
"Telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
(where xxx.... is the IP addres of the printer).
The password is 1234.
5.
At this point, you can alter the settings as desired. When complete, do a reset and allow
the 10/100 Internal PS self-test to complete before proceeding with any communications
activity.
Important •
This applies to any TCP/IP-capable workstation/host networked with the Brady
printer. Both, the workstation/host and the 10/100 Internal PS, must be on the same network
segment.
Example •
In the next step, **** is the IP address on the 10/100 Internal PS
configuration label.
Note •
The zero (0) placed at the end of the “route add” command is optional on some
systems.
