Notes:
Managing DHCP
Follow the instructions below to download the IP address using DHCP:
1. Edit or create a scope in the DHCP manager of the DHCP daemon. The
entries included in this scope should contain the following parameters:
• range of IP addresses
• subnet mask
• default router IP address
• WINS server IP address(es)
• lease duration
2. Activate the scope.
The Axis Network Print Server will automatically download the DHCP
parameters.
If you are using WINS, you must include at least one WINS server IP
address in the DHCP scope. Immediately after the IP address has been
received, the Axis Network Print Server registers its host name and IP
address on the WINS server.
The Axis Network Print Server can automatically download a customized
config file from a TFTP server. Just add the name of the config file and
the TFTP server’s IP address to your DHCP scope. The config file is
downloaded immediately after the Axis Network Print Server receives its
IP address.
System Privileges
You need root privileges on your UNIX system, or administrator
privileges on a Windows NT server.
Ethernet Address
You need to know the Ethernet address of your AXIS 5570e to perform
the installation. The Ethernet address is based upon the serial number of
your print server. This means, for example, that a print server with the
serial number 00408C100086, will have the corresponding Ethernet
address of 00 40 8C 10 00 86. The serial number is located on the
underside label of the print server.
• The Axis Network Print Server supports WINS (Windows Internet Name Service), which is
recommended when setting the IP address using DHCP in Windows environments.
• The Ethernet Address is the same as the serial number, found on the print server’s under-
side label. Enter the Ethernet Address in the same format as in the example above.
• Setting the IP address with
arp
and
ping
is only possible in the first 10 minutes after
re-booting the print server.
• When you execute the
ping
command for the first time, you may experience a signifi-
cantly longer response time than usual.
• The
arp
command varies between different UNIX systems.
• You need root privileges on your UNIX system in order to execute the
arp
command and
run
axinstall .
• Some BSD type systems expect the host name and serial number in reverse order. Further-
more IBM AIX systems will require the additional argument
ether
.
Example
:
arp -s ether
<host name> <Ethernet Address>
temp
