Connect the Hardware
1. Make sure that the printer is switched off and that the Power Adapter is
disconnected from the print server.
2. Locate the
serial
number, found on the underside label of the print server,
and write it down.
Example: S/N: 00408c181cf0
3. Connect the printer(s) to the print server.
4. Connect the print server to the network (Ethernet Connector) using a
twisted pair RJ45 cable (of category 5 or better).
5. Switch on the printer and make sure it is ready for printing (display showing
“Online”, “Ready”, etc.).
6. Connect the Power Adapter to the print server. The power indicator lights
up. If the network indicator starts to flash, the print server is correctly
connected to the network.
7. Wait 1 minute and press the test button once. A
test page
will be printed
on the connected printer — keep it handy during the installation. The test
page will show the assigned IP address of the print server.
The print server can now be installed in your network using one of the
methods detailed in the
Installation Guide
, on page 14.
Notes:
•
The test page includes a list of the most important parameters, including the network
speed and the firmware version number.
•
Each print server is pre-configured with a unique node address that is identical to the
serial number. The node address can be changed using any standard Web browser. Please
refer to
Management and Configuration
, on page 127, for more information.
•
The AXIS 5570e
uses high speed Centronics communication. For use with older printers
not supporting high speed, this function can be disabled by using any standard Web
browser. Please refer to
“Management and Configuration”
on page 127, for more
information.
