Remote Maintenance by telnet

You can view printer status and con-
figure the network interface board us-
ing telnet.

Note

❒ You should specify a password so

that only the network administra-
tor, or a person with network ad-
ministrator privileges, can use
remote maintenance.

❒ The password is the same as that

used for configuring the network
interface board with a Web brows-
er.

❒ If you change a password with re-

mote maintenance, the other pass-
words are also changed.

Using telnet

The following is a sample procedure
using telnet.

Limitation

❒ Only one person at a time can be

logged on to do remote mainte-
nance.

AAAA

Using the IP address or host name
of the machine, start telnet.

% telnet IP_address

❒ In order to use the host name in-

stead of the IP address, you
must write it to the hosts file.

❒ The default is “password”.
