Section 3: Basic Installation
AXIS 560/660 User’s Manual

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 560/660.
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 RARP,
BOOTP or DHCP.
Ethernet address
You need to know the Ethernet address of your AXIS 560 to perform
the installation. The Ethernet address is based upon the serial number
of your AXIS 560. This means, for example, that an AXIS 560 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.
Node address
In Token Ring networks the node address is either the serial number
found on the underside label of the AXIS 660 or a Locally
Administrated Address
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 560/660. Always consult your network
administrator before assigning an IP address to your AXIS
560/660.
