JetDirect EX print server - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

13 Jun 2003

...
 Anyway.  When revamping that place later, I took a
bunch of
em home, obviously.  So, I have the manuals for both the
standard JetDirect (white-ish box), the 1-port EX (brown
box) and 3-port EX (larger brown box.)

Lemme know which one you need - I dont have the HP numbers
handy here... 
The one I have is marked JetDirect EX, is a white-ish box about the size 
of a betamax cassette, and has a single Parallel port on the back with 
RJ-45 and BNC ethernet connections.

My guess is, it would be the same one as the 1-port EX brownish one 
mention.

...
 And: yes, keep the TEST button depressed for 12 seconds
while
powering it up, and it SHOULD reset.  I said "should", because
many of the earlier firmware versions were buggy as hell. 
I tried for 2, 5, 10, 12, 15, 30, and all sorts of other lengths of time. 
Should the status lights change to tell me it is resetting? I can't tell 
...
 from the test page if it has or has not reset (the test
pages are the  same no matter what I do, so maybe it is resetting each time and
I'm just 
seeing the page that is printed with default info).

In any case, it errors when I connect it to my network. Again, one unit I 
would think it was broken, but two I tend to think I'm doing something 
wrong.
