Connecting a printer to the Token Ring Network
Follow the instructions below to connect a printer to the network via
the AXIS 660 print server.
Caution!
❏
The AXIS 660 external power supply you are using must be
marked with the correct voltage! Refer to Package Contents, on
page 13.
❏
DO NOT connect or disconnect the network cabling while AXIS
660 is powered on.
1. Make sure that the printer is switched off and that the AXIS 660
external power supply is disconnected.
2. Locate the serial number, found on the underside label of the
AXIS 660, 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 660 using an appropriate printer cable.
4. Slide the Ring Speed switch towards 4 or 16 depending on the
ring speed of your network.
5. Connect your AXIS 660 to the network using an Shielded
Twisted Pair (Media Type 1) or Unshielded Twisted Pair (Media
Type 3) cable.
6. Switch on the printer and connect the external power supply to
the AXIS 660. The power indicator lights. If the network
indicator starts to flash, the AXIS 660 is successfully connected to
the network.
7. Press and release the test button on the AXIS 660 to print a test
page. If the printer and the AXIS 660 are correctly connected, the
AXIS 660 internal test page will be printed.
You are now ready to install your server onto your network using one
of the methods detailed in the Installation Guide, on page 24.
