Configuring Novell NetWare Source Routing (Token Ring Card Only) You can select the method for Novell NetWare source routing from the control panel. The possible routing methods are: • AUTO (default): Source routing will be enabled on a packetby-packet basis. • OFF: All packets are sent without source routing—that is, packets must be from the same ring. • SINGLE R: Source routing used for all packets sent. The Single Route method is used for broadcasts and when the route is unknown.
For the 700/2000/2500/3000/3500 Series Printers 1. Access the configuration menu (see “To enable or disable network protocols” in this chapter). 2. From the CFG IPX/SPX=NO→ menu item, press [Enter], ↓, [Enter] to display CFG IPX/SPX=YES→ . 3. Press ↑ repeatedly until SRC RT=AUTO appears. 4. To change source routing, press [Enter] and ↓ until the source routing that you want appears. 5. To save the new source routing setting, press [Enter]. (Press [Enter] again to verify your selection with “*”.) 6.
NOTE For DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) operation, BOOTP must be enabled. If an IP address is configured through DHCP and is subsequently changed through the control panel, the DHCP assigned address is released. If a printer is configured through DHCP, and you manually change the subnet mask or default gateway through the control panel, you should also change the IP address.
5. Press ↑ to configure each TCP/IP parameter. For the first parameter, MIO SETUP and IP BYTE 1=→ appear. 6. To maintain the current value, press ↑. 7. To change the value, proceed as follows: a. Press [Enter] to display the current value. b. Press ↑ until the value that you want appears. c. Press [Enter] to save the new value. MIO SETUP and IP BYTE 1=→ appear. d. Press ↑ to continue. 8. Configure the remaining bytes of the IP address in the same manner.
• If you select BOOTP=NO→, the printer is configured to accept TCP/IP parameters from the control panel. Continue with step 4. 4. If you selected BOOTP=NO→, press ↑ to configure each TCP/IP parameter. For example, to configure the IP address: a. Press ↑ until IP BYTE=0 is displayed. Press [Enter]. b. Press ↑ or ↓ to select the number (0-255) for that byte, then press [Enter]. c. Press ↑ to select the next byte. d. Continue the same process until all bytes are entered.
Configuring Apple EtherTalk Phase Parameters (Ethernet Cards Only) NOTE EtherTalk is supported by HP DesignJet 650C, Series 700, and 2500CP series printers with PostScript modules installed. You can set Apple EtherTalk parameters if the Apple EtherTalk protocol and the PostScript printer language are enabled (Lang=Postscript→).
For the 700/2000/2500/3000/3500 Series Printers 1. Access the configuration menu (see “To enable or disable network protocols” in this chapter). 2. From the CFG ETALK=NO→ menu item, press [Enter], ↓, [Enter] to display CFG ETALK=YES→ . 3. Press ↑ to display the current phase parameter. To change the setting, press [Enter], ↓, [Enter]. 4. To save the configuration, print a configuration plot by pressing the two arrow keys simultaneously. Your printer configuration is now active.
6. To access the network configuration menu, press [Enter] to display CFG NETWORK and NO *. 7. Press ↑ to display: CFG NETWORK and YES. 8. Press [Enter]. MIO SETUP and CFG NETWORK=YES→ appear. You can now access the network configuration menu. 9. Press ↑ repeatedly until MIO SETUP and JOB TIMEOUT= → appear. 10. To maintain the current value, press ↑. 11. To change value, proceed as follows: a. Press [Enter] to display the current value. b.

B HP J4100A 10/100Base-TX Print Server Supported Links If the card is not able to connect to the network through autonegotiation, you can manually set the link operating mode using link configuration jumpers on the card. Link-Speed LEDs The HP J4100A print server provides 2 light-emitting diodes (LEDs) near the RJ-45 connector. These LEDs indicate the operating link speed of the print server, either 10 or 100 Mbps.
Link Configuration Jumper Settings The HP J4100A JetDirect 10/100Base-TX card provides link configuration jumpers that may be manually set if autonegotiation is not able to connect the card to the network. You can set the link operation for 100 Mbps Full Duplex, 100 Mbps Half Duplex, or 10 Mbps Half Duplex. (Note that reconfiguration of the hub or switch port may also be required.) Link Configuration jumpers For jumper setting definitions, refer to the following illustration.
Link Troubleshooting If the HP J4100A JetDirect 10/100Base-TX print server does not successfully connect to the network, both LEDs will be off and a “LOSS OF CARRIER ERROR” will be indicated in the MIO section of the HP JetDirect self-test page. NOTE • Verify cabling connections. • At the network device (such as a switching hub) that connects the print server to the network, configure the port for halfduplex operation. Then power-cycle the printer.
