Question

Connect to and configure HP Jetdirect 170x Print Server

Asked by: xy8088

I just found a box of old HP Jetdirect 170x print servers. I am assuming that to configure them I need to plug a crossover (or straight through?) cable in to them, type an IP (what IP?) into a borwser and will be given a config page.

Does anyone knoe the basic rundown on what the info I need is or where I can find a manual teling me what the default IP is, what the default admin user/pass is, etc?
