NOTE Configuring TCP/IP settings are complicated and should only be performed by
experienced network administrators. BOOTP will require a (PC, Unix, Linux, and so on.)
server to configure specific TCP/IP settings for the product. DHCP will also require a server,
but the TCP/IP settings will not be fixed  for the all-in-one. Finally, the manual method to
configure specific TCP/IP settings can be done from the control panel, the embedded Web
server, the HP ToolboxFX. For additional help or network configuration, contact your network

							Using the embedded Web server or HP ToolboxFX
You can use the embedded Web server (EWS) or HP ToolboxFX to view or change your IP
configuration settings. To gain access to the embedded Web server, type the IP address for the all-in-
one in the address line of your Web browser.
You can view HP ToolboxFX when the all-in-one is directly connected to your computer or when it is
connected to the network. You must perform  a complete software installation to use HP ToolboxFX.
Open HP ToolboxFX in one of these ways:
● In the Windows system tray, double-click the
 HP ToolboxFX Device Status and Alerts icon.
● On the Windows 
Start menu, click  Programs (or All Programs  in Windows XP), click  HP, click
HP LaserJet 3052/3055/3390/3392 all-in-one , and then click HP ToolboxFX.
In HP ToolboxFX, click  Device Settings, and then click the  Network Settings tab.
From the  Networking  tab (EWS) or the  Network Settings  tab (HP ToolboxFX), you can change the
following configurations:
● Host Name
● Manual IP Address
● Manual Subnet Mask
● Manual Default Gateway
NOTE
Changing the network configuration may require you to change the browser URL
before you can communicate with the all-in-one again. The all-in-one will be unavailable for a
few seconds while the network resets.
Setting a network password

							Table 9-4  IP addressing
Service nameDescription
DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol)For Automatic IP address assignment. DHCP server
provides the all-in-one with an IP address. Generally
requires no user intervention for all-in-one to obtain IP
address from a DHCP server.
BOOTP (bootstrap protocol)For Automatic IP address assignment. BOOTP server
provides the all-in-one with an IP address. Requires
administrator to input the all-in-one MAC hardware address
on BOOTP server in order for all-in-one to obtain an IP
address from that server.
Auto IP For Automatic IP address assignment. If neither a DHCP
server nor a BOOTP server is present, this service allows
the all-in-one to generate a unique IP address.
ENWW Supported network protocols 161
 
						

							TCP/IP configuration
To operate correctly on a TCP/IP network, the all-in-one must be configured with valid TCP/IP
network configuration parameters, such as an IP address that is valid for your network.
CAUTIONChanges to these settings might result in  a loss of functionality with your all-in-
one. For example, network scanning, network faxing, or HP Web JetAdmin might stop working
with certain settings changes.
Server-based, AutoIP, and manual TCP/IP configuration
When in a factory-default state and powered on, the  all-in-one will first try to obtain its TCP/IP
configuration using a server-based method, such as BOOTP or DHCP. If the server-based method
fails, the all-in-one will then be configured using the AutoIP protocol. The all-in-one may also be
configured manually. Manual-based tools include a Web browser, the all-in-one control panel, or the
HP ToolboxFX utility. TCP/IP configuration values assigned  manually will be retained when the all-in-
one is powered off/on. The all-in-one can also be reconfigured to use either server-based only
(BOOTP and/or DHCP), and/or AutoIP only, or manual configuration of TCP/IP settings at any time.
Server-based TCP/IP configuration
In its factory-default state, the all-in-one will first try BOOTP. If this fails it will then try DHCP. If this
fails, it will then obtain an IP address via AutoIP.  In addition, a default IP address will not be assigned
if a network cable is not attached to the all-in-one.
Default IP address configuration (AutoIP)
A default IP address will be assigned via the AutoIP protocol if the server based methods fail. When
DHCP or BOOTP fails to obtain an IP address, the all-in-one uses a link-local addressing technique
to assign a unique IP address. Link-local addressing may be referenced as AutoIP. The IP address
assigned will be in the range of 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255 (commonly referenced as
169.254/16), and should be valid. However, it can be further modified for your network using
supported TCP/IP configuration tools if necessary. With  link-local addresses, subnetting is not used.
The subnet mask will be 255.255.0.0, and cannot  be changed. Link-local addresses will not route off
the local link, and access to or from the  Internet will not be available. The default gateway address
will be the same as the link-local address.  If a duplicate address is sensed, the all-in-one will
automatically reassign its address, if necessary, in accordance with standard link-local addressing
methods. The IP address configured on your all-in-one  may be determined by inspecting the network
configuration page for the all-in-one. Since it may  take some time for the server-based protocols to
time out, the AutoIP process can be sped up by  disabling the BOOTP and DHCP services on the all-
in-one. This can be done via a Web browser.
