AXIS 5600+
User’s Manual
Section 3: Basic Installation
23
Assigning an IP address
To establish communication with the TCP/IP network, enabling
TCP/IP printing and Web browser management, an IP address must
be assigned to your AXIS 5600+.
Before you start
System privileges
You need root privileges on your UNIX system, or administrator
privileges on a Windows NT server to set the IP address using ARP,
RARP, BOOTP or DHCP.
Ethernet address
You need to know the Ethernet address of your AXIS 5600+ to
perform the installation. The Ethernet address is based upon the serial
number of your AXIS 5600+. This means, for example, that an AXIS
5600+ with the serial number of 00408C100086, will have the
corresponding Ethernet address of 00 40 8C 10 00 86.
The serial number is located on the bottom label of the unit.
IP address
Unless you are downloading the IP address using DHCP, you must
obtain an unused IP address from your network administrator.
Important:
❏
DO NOT use the IP addresses used in the following examples
when installing your AXIS 5600+. Always consult your network
administrator before assigning an IP address to your AXIS 5600+.
