Print Server Management and Configuration
The management and configuration tools that are supported by the AXIS
1650 allow you to:
•
Change print server parameters
•
Receive extended information about print jobs
•

Configuration Overview
The method you should use to manage and configure your AXIS 1650 is
dictated by your TCP/IP network.
Configuration/Management methods:
•
Embedded Web Pages using a Web Browser - See page 40.
•
FTP - See page 52.
•
SNMP - See page 53.
Print Server Management from the Embedded Web Pages
All Axis print servers contain an embedded Web server that can be
accessed through a Web browser. The embedded Web server provides
access to configuration and management pages for the print server and
the connected printer.
Once you have established the AXIS 1650 in the TCP/IP environment, as
described in Set the IP Address, on page 11, you can access the AXIS
1650 Web pages from any standard Web browser.
The Web interface has two modes of operation: User mode and Admin
mode.
User Mode
In User mode you can change language of the Web interface, but you
have no rights to change any other parameters. This mode is intended for
regular users who are only interested in using the print server's interface
for checking print jobs or viewing printer properties. If you want to
change any other settings, you must enter the Admin mode. See “Services
Available from the User Mode” on page 42.
Admin Mode
When in Admin mode, you have access to all the print server's parameters
and you can change them after your needs. This mode is intended for
network administrators and can be password protected to prevent
unauthorized changing of parameters. See “Services Available from the
Admin Mode” on page 44.
