AXIS 5570e User’s Manual
If you are not working in a DHCP network
, you need to set the IP
address of the print server manually. See “Manual IP Address
Assignment” on page 15.
Obtaining an IP
Address through
Auto-IP
Auto-IP may be used to set the IP address automatically in the absence of
a DHCP server.
The default Auto-IP address structure is:
169.254.xxx.xxx.
Important:
The Auto-IP function will only function when the DHCP parameter is
enabled in the print server.
This function is enabled automatically upon installation of a brand new
print server. If you perform a Factory Default using the test button on the
print server and you do not have a DHCP server on your network, Auto-IP
will automatically set the IP address of the print server.
The
DHCP Enabled
parameter is enabled/disabled in the print server’s
Web pages:
Admin => Network Settings => Detailed View => TCP/IP
Network => DHCP Enabled: Yes/No.
Notes:
Manual IP Address
Assignment
To establish communication with the TCP/IP network, an IP address must
be assigned to your Axis Network Print Server. Choose the appropriate
method according to your network:
•
arp/ping
- use this method to set the IP address for each new print
server individually.
This method cannot be used over routers.
Refer to
“Setting the IP Address using arp/ping”
on page 17.
•
AXIS ThinWizard
software is the primary recommended tool for
large organizations.
It can set IP addresses, discover and group print servers, install new
firmware and configure multiple Axis products concurrently.
Refer to
“Using AXIS ThinWizard for Print Server Management”
on
page 132
• Use a Web browser with JavaScript support and Java enabled.
• The Axis Network Print Server supports WINS (Windows Internet Name Service), which is
recommended when setting the IP address using DHCP in Windows environments.
• If you are working in a WINS/ DDNS network, you can access the print server’s Web pages
using its default host name: In the Web browser’s
Location/Address
field, enter the
default print server name
AXISxxxxxx
(
xxxxxx
are the last six digits of the serial number,
found on the print server’s underside label).
Example:
If the serial number is 00 40 8c 18
16 36, type
AXIS181636
and press
Enter
.
• DHCP, RARP and BOOTP can be used to set the IP address in UNIX.
• If you are working in a network that does
not
use dynamic IP address assignment, refer to
“Manual IP Address Assignment”
on page 15 to assign an IP address to the print server
manually.
