The IP address will then appear on the test page you print by pressing the test button once. If you are not working in a DHCP network, you need to set the IP address of the print server manually. · Notes: · You need root privileges on your UNIX, Linux and Mac OS X system, or administrator privileges on a Windows NT server to set the IP address using RARP, BOOTP, DHCP and to add an entry to the ARP table with the command 'arp -s'. You need to know the Ethernet address of your AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550 in order to assign an IP address to it. The Ethernet address is based upon the serial number of your print server. This means, for example, that an AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550 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 print server Unless you are assigning an IP address using DHCP or Auto-IP, you must obtain an unused IP address from your network administrator. · · Important: DO NOT use the IP addresses from the examples described here. Consult your network administrator before assigning an IP address to your print server. Methods for Setting the IP Address You can obtain an IP address for your AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550 by using one of the following methods, depending on your network operating environment.

You can view which host name that is registered at a DDNS server AXIS 5500 / AXIS 5550 User's Manual DDNS Host Name Rules 16 Basic Installation in the print server's Web interface. Refer to "Management and Configuration" on page 88. If the host name matches another entry in the DDNS data base, the print server deletes that entry before registering. Notes: · The default host name of the AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550 is 'AXIS' followed by the last 6 digits in the serial number. e.g. AXIS181636. The host name (Print server name) can be changed in the PS_NAME. field on the Admin | General Settings page. · The host name limitations conclude that if you want to register the same host name at a WINS server and a DDNS server, the host name should be no longer than 15 characters and it should only contain the characters `A-Z', `a-z', '0-9' and `-'. · Refer to your system manuals or to your network administrator for instructions on how host name resolutions are performed on your system. Set the IP Address with DHCP Follow the instructions below to download the IP address using DHCP: 1. Edit or create a scope in the DHCP manager of the DHCP daemon. The entries included in this scope should contain the following parameters: · range of IP addresses · subnet mask · default router IP address · WINS server IP address(es) or DDNS server IP address(es) · lease duration 2. Activate the scope. The print server automatically downloads the DHCP parameters. If you are using WINS or DNS, you should include at least one WINS or DNS server IP address in the DHCP scope. Immediately after the IP address has been received, the print server registers its host name and IP address on the WINS alternatively DNS server. Refer to "Registering and Resolving Host Names" on page 16 for more information. The print server can automatically download a customized config file from a TFTP server. Just add the name of the config file and the TFTP server's IP address to your DHCP scope. The config file is downloaded immediately after the print server receives its IP address. 3. You have now successfully set the IP address of your print server. Continue to "Making Network Printers available for printing on your PC" on page 21. Note: You have to restart the print server to download the IP address. AXIS 5500 / AXIS 5550 User's Manual 17 Basic Installation Set the IP Address using RARP in UNIX/Linux Follow the instructions below to set the IP address using RARP. Append the following line to your Ethernet Address table. This is typically located in the /etc/ethers file: Example: 00:40:8c:10:00:86 npsname 1. Update, if necessary, your host table and alias name databases as required by your system. 2. If it is not already running, start the RARP daemon. This is typically performed using the rarpd -a command. 3. Restart the print server to download the IP address. 4. You have now set the IP address of the print server. Continue to "Making Network Printers available for printing on your PC" on page 21. Notes: · If the host name has not been mapped to an IP address, simply replace the host name entry with the IP address in the example above. · If you are using IBM AIX, you will probably not have access to a RARP daemon. If this is the case, you can use either ARP (see "Set the IP Address using ARP in UNIX/Linux and Mac OS X" on page 20) or BOOTP (see "Set the IP Address using BOOTP in UNIX/Linux" on page 19). · You have to restart the print server to download the IP address. 18 AXIS 5500 / AXIS 5550 User's Manual Basic Installation Set the IP Address using BOOTP in UNIX/Linux Below is an example of how to set the IP address of the print server using BOOTP: Append the following entry to your boot table. This is typically performed by editing the file: /etc/bootptab :ht=:vm=:\ :ha=:ip=:\ :sm=:gw= Example: npsname:ht=ether:vm=rfc1048:\ :ha=00408c100086:ip=192.168.3.191:\ :sm=255.255.255.0:gw=192.168.1.1 1. If necessary, update your host table and alias name databases as required by your system. 2. If it is not already running, start the BOOTP daemon. This is typically performed using the bootpd command. 3. Restart the print server to download the IP address, default router address, and subnet mask. The print server can automatically download a customized config file from a TFTP server. Just add the name of the config file and the TFTP server's IP address to your boot table. The config file is downloaded immediately after the print server receives its IP address. 4. You have now successfully set the IP address of the print server. Proceed to "Making Network Printers available for printing on your PC" on page 21. Set the IP Address using Auto-IP Auto-IP sets the IP address automatically in the absence of a DHCP server in Windows Me, 2000 and XP. If you have a DHCP server running on your network, the print server will receive an IP address immediately after you have connected it to the network. In the absence of a DHCP server, your print server will automatically be assigned an IP address through integrated Auto-IP. The Auto-IP address structure is: 169.254.xxx.xxx. The Auto-IP function will only work when DHCP is enabled in your print server. This function is enabled automatically upon installation of a brand new print server. The easiest way to make sure DHCP and Auto-IP are enabled is to reset your print server (to Factory Default). See "The Test Button" on page 129 for instruction on how to do this. If you perform a Factory Default on the print server and you do not have a DHCP server on your network, Auto-IP will automatically set the IP address of the print server. It is highly recommended that you change the Auto-IP address to a static IP address. AXIS 5500 / AXIS 5550 User's Manual 19 Basic Installation Set the IP Address using ARP in Windows 98/NT/ Me/2000/XP 1. Open a Command Prompt and enter the following commands: Syntax arp -s ping Example arp -s 192.168.3.191 00-40-8c-10-00-86 ping 192.168.3.191 2. The host will return reply from 192.168.3.191, or a similar message. This indicates that the address has been set and that communication is established. 3. Log in to the print server's Web pages (see Using a Web browser for Print Server Management, on page 88), select Admin | Network Settings | Detailed View | TCP/IP Network and define Default Router and Subnet Mask. Make sure you first set DHCP, Auto-IP, BOOTP and RARP to No! You have now set the IP address of the print server. Continue to "Making Network Printers available for printing on your PC" on page 21. Note: · When you execute the ping command for the first time, you will experience a significantly longer response time than is usual. · The ability to set the IP address with ARP and PING will only be enabled the first 10 minutes after restarting the print server. · By using the arp -d command, the static entry in the arp table is removed from the host's cache memory. Set the IP Address using ARP in UNIX/Linux and Mac OS X 1. Open a Terminal and enter the following commands: Syntax arp -s ping Example arp -s 192.168.3.191 00:40:8c:10:00:86 ping 192.168.3.191 2. The host will return psname is alive, or a similar message. This indicates that the address has been set and that communication is established. 3.

Client/Server Network For client/server printing, each computer sends print jobs through a network server computer. The printer must first be installed on the server computer (from the Add Printer Wizard, AXIS Print Monitor) and then shared on the network, which makes it a network printer. It will then appear as a Network Printer (in Windows Add Printer Wizard and in AXIS Print Monitor) on the client computers. Each client computer must install the appropriate printer drivers in order to print properly. For Windows 98 and Me, it is only necessary to install AXIS Print Monitor on a server for client/server printing. Peer-to-Peer Network In Peer-to-Peer networks, each computer prints directly to the network printer. The network printer appears as a Local Printer (in Windows Add Printer Wizard and in AXIS Print Monitor), and needs to be added to each 23 AXIS 5500 / AXIS 5550 User's Manual Adding Printers in Windows client computer that wants to print. Each client computer must install the appropriate printer drivers in order to print properly. In Windows 98 and Me, AXIS Print Monitor must be installed on all (printing) client computers for Peer-to-Peer printing. SNMP Device Index When using the TCP/IP protocol (and if the printer driver permits), the print server can use SNMP Status to find out if the printer is ready to accept a new job. See "SNMP Device Index" on page 158.

You can change the default name of your print server or any of default parameters by editing the print server's config file. To access the config file from a Macintosh, you can use: · any Web browser with Javascript enabled · FTP using MacTCP, Fetch or Anarchie In order to use any of these methods, you must assign an IP address to the print server as described in "Setting Parameters" on page 44. Choosing a Printer Selecting a Printer The method for choosing a printer varies depending on which version of LaserWriter printer driver you are using. · · The LaserWriter 7.0 driver assumes that you use a standard PostScript driver, and cannot take advantage of any printer specific features. The LaserWriter 8.0 driver uses PPD files that contain printer descriptions. This gives you full control over any features your printer might have. Autodetect Printer Type The print server can automatically detect the type of printer you are using if you enable Autodetect Printer Type. The print server can then recognize Epson and Hewlett Packard InkJet printers. Most Epson and Hewlett Packard InkJet printers that have Mac OS printer drivers for network printing are supported. Without the Autodetect Printer Type function, the AppleTalk printer type has to be specified manually in the print server. For Epson InkJets it would be "EPSONLQ2" and for HP InkJets it would be "DeskWriter". If the print server does not recognize the connected printer, the default setting "LaserWriter" will be used as printer type. "LaserWriter" is the recommended setting to be used with all PostScript printers. To enable Autodetect Printer Type, log in to your print server's Web interface and select Admin | Network Settings | Detailed View | Macintosh | Auto Detect Printer Type | Yes. See the Help pages in the print server's Web interface for details. LaserWriter 7.0 Printer Driver Follow the instructions below to choose a printer: 1. Select Chooser from the Apple menu. 2.
