Connecting a printer to the Ethernet Network
Follow the instructions below to connect a printer to the network via
the AXIS 5600+ print server.
Caution!
❏
The AXIS 5600+ external power supply you are using must be
marked with the correct voltage! Refer to
Package Contents
, on
page 14.
1. Make sure that the printer is switched off and that the AXIS
5600+ external power supply is disconnected.
2. Locate the serial number, found on the underside label of the
AXIS 5600+, and write it down. You will need this number later
during the network configuration.
3. Connect the printer to the LPT1, LPT2 or the COM1 port on
the AXIS 5600+ using an appropriate printer cable.
4. Connect your AXIS 5600+ to the network using a twisted pair
category 5 cable (10baseT and 100baseTX).
5. Switch on the printer. Your printer must be ready for use when
you switch it on.
6. Connect the external power supply to the AXIS 5600+. The
power indicator lights. If the network indicator starts to flash, the
AXIS 5600+ is successfully connected to the network.
7. Press and release the test button on the AXIS 5600+ to print a test
page. If the printer and the AXIS 5600+ are correctly connected,
the AXIS 5600+ internal test page will be printed. If you are
working in a DHCP ntwork, your print server will receive an IP
address automatically when you connect it to the network. You
can see the IP address (Internet Address) printed on the test page.
You are now ready to install your server onto your network using one
of the methods detailed in the
Installation Guide
, on page 21.
