Chapter 1 Introduction
Features and
Benefits
Reliability
The EasyLAN 100i provides high performance and reliability. The
electronic circuits are based on the improved AXIS ETRAX 100
chip, which comprises an integrated 32 bit RISC processor and as-
sociated network controllers.
Flexibility
It supports printing in all the major computer systems and environ-
ments, including a number of different print methods in the TCP/IP
environment.
Speed
The AXIS ETRAX 100 chip has been specifically designed for LAN
products and benefits users with a faster throughput than a direct
PC-to- printer connection. With a sustained data throughput of more
than 1 Mbyte per second, the EasyLAN 100i is fast.
Easy to Install
You can install the EasyLAN 100i in your network in several ways:
• Setting the IP address using the AXIS NetPilot installation
software. Its Installation Wizard, combined with the itinstall
script for UNIX workstations, allows installation into all supported
networking environments. This method is intended for network
administrators in a local area network and can be performed
remotely.
• Setting the IP address, default router, and netmask by means of
the printer's Setup Mode using the printer's own built-in key-
board. This method allows setting all network addresses for full
access via the word wide web, but requires physical access to
the printer.
After you have assigned an IP address to the EasyLAN 100i board,
you can either use the various AXIS installation software products
or the EasyLAN 100i home page to configure it further.
Security
You can assign passwords to restrict both login and printer access.
