ENWW HP Jetdirect 802.11b Wireless Print Servers 268
Using Your Web Browser (Windows and Mac OS). To use
your Web browser to configure the Jetdirect wireless print server
with a wireless connection to your network, your system must be
set up for operation on a TCP/IP network.
Web browser wireless connection instructions are provided for the
following systems: Microsoft Windows, and Apple Macintosh (see
page 270
).
● Microsoft Windows. To use your Web browser on a Windows
system, follow these steps:
1. Verify that your computer’s wireless network settings match the
factory-default settings on the HP Jetdirect print server.
2. Open a DOS Command Prompt window.
3. At the command prompt, enter ipconfig. The ipconfig
command will display the computer’s IP address. Record this
address.
4. Use a “route add” command to establish an IP path (or route)
from your wireless computer to the print server. (This means
that there must be a match between the network identification
of your system to that of the HP Jetdirect print server. If the
print server is configured with its default IP address, for
example 169.254/16 or 192.0.0.192, a route may not exist.)
Note A typical route add command is entered as
follows:
where <Jetdirect IP address> is t he IP addr ess
on the HP Jetdirect print server, and <system IP
address> is the IP address set on the computer's
network card.
Example:
route add <Jetdirect IP Address> <system IP Address>
route add 192.0.0.192 192.170.1.2
