The electronic circuits are based on the AXIS ETRAX 100LX chip, which comprises an integrated 32 bit RISC processor and associated network controllers. In the IBM Mainframe and AS/400 environment, the Axis Network Print Server can emulate IBM twinax and coax print and control functionality. This means that the Axis Network Print Server can effectively replace coax/twinax attached printers and control units on the LAN. It supports printing in all the major computer systems and environments, including five different print methods in the TCP/IP environment. The integrated IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) function allows for printing from LAN to LAN via a WAN, such as the Internet. Speed The AXIS ETRAX 100LX chip has been specifically designed for LAN products. It supports data transfer rates of up to 200 Mbit/s (100 Mbit Ethernet full duplex). High speed Centronics communication such as ECP, Hewlett-Packard Fast Mode, High Speed and IBM Fast Byte is supported. The print server installs, operates and is managed in a reliable and easy fashion. AXIS 5570e / AXIS 5670e User's Manual Flexibility Easy to Install 12 Product Overview Security You can assign a password to restrict login and printer access. It is also possible to disable protocols and to configure a secure mode (https). See "Enabling Secure Web Services -- SSL/TLS" on page 164. The internal print server Web pages and AXIS ThinWizard (3.04 and up) allow you to continuously monitor printer status. The Web pages are used to monitor single Axis units while AXIS ThinWizard can be used to monitor multiple Axis units. Integrity of your printing is also monitored via interactive communication with the IBM host. The AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e additionally supports SNMP for remote monitoring. Monitoring Futureproof The firmware stored in the print server Flash memory can be upgraded over the network. This allows you to quickly update and enhance its operational features when new print server software becomes available. See "Upgrading the Firmware" on page 169. The print server supports NetWare Packet Signature Level 1, 2, 3, which protects servers and clients using the NetWare Core Protocol services. NCP packet signature prevents packet forgery by requiring the server and the client to sign each NCP packet. See your Novell NetWare documentation for detailed information.

The IP address will then appear on the test page printed when you press the test button once. You should now be able to access the print server's internal Web pages as described on Accessing the Web Pages, on page 129 AXIS 5570e / AXIS 5670e User's Manual 16 Basic Installation If you are not working in a DHCP network, you need to set the IP address of the print server manually. See "Manual IP Address Assignment" on page 16. Obtaining an IP Address through Auto-IP Important: Auto-IP may be used to set the IP address automatically in the absence of a DHCP server. The default Auto-IP address structure is: 169.254.xxx.xxx. The Auto-IP function will only function when the DHCP parameter is enabled in the print server. This function is enabled automatically upon installation of a brand new print server. If you perform a Factory Default using the test button 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. The DHCP Enabled parameter is enabled/disabled in the print server's Web pages: Admin => Network Settings => Detailed View => TCP/IP Network => DHCP Enabled: Yes/No. Notes: · · · Use a Web browser with JavaScript support and Java enabled. The Axis Network Print Server supports WINS (Windows Internet Name Service), which is recommended when setting the IP address using DHCP in Windows environments. If you are working in a WINS/ DDNS network, you can access the print server's Web pages using its default host name: In the Web browser's Location/Address field, enter the default print server name AXISxxxxxx (xxxxxx are the last six digits of the serial number, found on the print server's underside label). Example: If the serial number is 00 40 8c 18 16 36, type AXIS181636 and press Enter. DHCP, RARP and BOOTP can be used to set the IP address in UNIX. If you are working in a network that does not use dynamic IP address assignment, refer to "Manual IP Address Assignment" on page 16 to assign an IP address to the print server manually. · · Manual IP Address Assignment To establish communication with the TCP/IP network, an IP address must be assigned to your Axis Network Print Server. Choose the appropriate method according to your network: · arp/ping - use this method to set the IP address for each new print server individually. This method cannot be used over routers. Refer to "Setting the IP Address using arp/ping" on page 18. · AXIS ThinWizard software is the primary recommended tool for large organizations. It can set IP addresses, discover and group print servers, install new firmware and configure multiple Axis products concurrently. Refer to "Using AXIS ThinWizard for Print Server Management" on page 133 AXIS 5570e / AXIS 5670e User's Manual 17 Basic Installation Note: If you are using host names, you can map a unique host name to the IP address. Refer to your system manuals for instructions on how this is performed on your system. Setting the IP Address using arp/ping Refer to the appropriate section below to assign an IP address to your Axis Network Print Server using arp/ping: Windows Open a Command Prompt and enter the following syntax: Syntax 1. 2. arp -s ping Example arp -s 192.168.3.191 00-40-8c-18-16-36 ping 192.168.3.191 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. You are now ready to print. UNIX, Mac OS X Open a Terminal and enter the following syntax: Syntax 1. 2. arp -s ping Example arp -s 192.168.3.191 00:40:8c:18:16:36 ping 192.168.3.191 The host will return psname is alive, or a similar message. This indicates that the address has been set and that communication is established. You are now ready to print. Important! You must define the Default Router and Subnet Mask when you set a static IP address. Log in to the print server's Web pages and select Admin | Network Settings | Detailed View | TCP/IP Network | Default Router and Subnet Mask. DHCP, Auto-IP, BOOTP and RARP must first be set to No! Notes: · · The Ethernet address is equal to the serial number, which is located on the underside label of the AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e. The arp command varies between different UNIX systems. Some BSD type systems expect the host name and node address in reverse order. Furthermore IBM AIX systems will require the additional argument ether. Example: arp -s ether 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp When you execute the ping command for the first time, you may experience a significantly longer response time than 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. · · Using RARP in UNIX/Linux Follow the instructions below to set the IP address using RARP. 18 AXIS 5570e / AXIS 5670e User's Manual Basic Installation 1. 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 2. Update, if necessary, your host table and alias name databases, as required by your system. 3. If it is not already running, start the RARP daemon. This is typically performed using the rarpd -a command. 4. Restart the AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e to download the IP address. Notes: · · The Ethernet address is equal to the serial number, which can be found on the underside label of the AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e. If you are a IBM AIX user, you will probably not have access to a RARP daemon. If this is the case, you can use either the arp or BOOTP methods instead. Using BOOTP in UNIX/Linux Follow the instructions below to set the IP address using BOOTP: 1. 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 The Axis Network 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 Axis Network Print Server receives its IP address. AXIS 5570e / AXIS 5670e User's Manual 19 Basic Installation Notes: · · · · · · · The Axis Network Print Server supports WINS (Windows Internet Name Service), which is recommended when setting the IP address using DHCP in Windows environments. The Ethernet Address is the same as the serial number, found on the print server's underside label. Enter the Ethernet Address in the same format as in the example above. Setting the IP address with arp and ping is only possible in the first 10 minutes after re-booting the print server. When you execute the ping command for the first time, you may experience a significantly longer response time than usual. The arp command varies between different UNIX systems. You need root privileges on your UNIX system in order to execute the arp command and run axinstall . Some BSD type systems expect the host name and serial number in reverse order. Furthermore IBM AIX systems will require the additional argument ether. Example: arp -s ether temp Managing 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) · lease duration 2. Activate the scope. The Axis Network Print Server will automatically download the DHCP parameters. If you are using WINS, you must include at least one WINS server IP address in the DHCP scope. Immediately after the IP address has been received, the Axis Network Print Server registers its host name and IP address on the WINS server. The Axis Network 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 Axis Network Print Server receives its IP address. System Privileges You need root privileges on your UNIX system, or administrator privileges on a Windows NT server. You need to know the Ethernet address of your AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e to perform the installation. The Ethernet address is based upon the serial number of your print server. This means, for example, that a print server with the serial number 00408C100086, will have the corresponding Ethernet address of 00 40 8C 10 00 86. The serial number is located on the underside label of the print server. AXIS 5570e / AXIS 5670e User's Manual Ethernet Address 20 Basic Installation IP Address Important: If you do not have a DHCP server on your network, you must obtain an unused IP address from your network administrator. DO NOT use the IP addresses used in the following examples when installing your Axis Network Print Server. Always consult your network administrator before assigning an IP address to your Axis Network Print Server. Registering and Resolving Host Names In order to register the host name of the Axis Network Print Server in networks with dynamic IP address settings, WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) and DDNS (Dynamic Domain Naming System) are supported. It is recommended that at least one of these methods be used when setting the IP address of the Axis Network Print Server using DHCP. The host name of the Axis Network Print Server is specified by the PS_NAME parameter. Refer to The Parameter List, on page 216. WINS Host Name Rules WINS only supports 15 character long host names. If your host name is longer than 15 characters, the Axis Network Print Server truncates the host name to 15 characters when registering with a WINS server. You can view the Axis Network Print Server host name that is registered at a WINS server, in the print server's Web interface. Refer to Section 11 Management and Configuration, on page 128. DDNS supports 53 character long host names, but they can only consist of the characters `A-Z', 'a-z' and `-'. If your host name consists of any other characters, they are converted to `-', when registering with a DDNS server. You can view the Axis Network Print Server host name that is registered at a DDNS server, in the print server's Web interface. Refer to Section 11 Management and Configuration, on page 128. If the host name matches another entry in the DDNS data base, the Axis Network Print Server deletes the entry before registering. Notes: · 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' and `-' Refer to your system manuals or to your network administrator for instructions on how host name resolutions are performed on your system. If the host name has not been mapped to the IP address, you can still perform the following instructions on how to download the IP address. In this case, simply replace the host name entry with the IP address wherever required. DDNS Host Name Rules · · AXIS 5570e / AXIS 5670e User's Manual 21 Setting Up - AS/400 (iSeries) Section 4 Setting Up - AS/400 (iSeries) This section describes how to configure the Axis Network Print Server for printing SCS and IPDS data streams using SNA and TCP/IP transport protocols in the AS/400 (iSeries) environment. Note: SNA is only available for print server models with the SNA option installed. Please refer to Protocols and Datastreams, on page 9 A number of protocols and print methods are available. Looking at SCS over TCP/IP printing, we strongly recommend the TN5250E alternative. This print method offers superior control and management features as well as automatic configuration and high throughput using the Axis Network Print Server. If you have decided to use SNA, we recommend the 5494 mode. Compared to the 3174 mode, this alternative yields better text formatting options as well as automatic configuration. Proceed to the setup section that is relevant to your network environment, as described in the table below: Printing protocol SNA - 5494 Mode TN5250E (TCP/IP) PPR/PPD (TCP/IP) Data streams SCS IPDS SCS IPDS Action SNA Printing - 5494 Mode, on page 22 TN5250E Printing (SCS over IP), on page 29 PPR/PPD Printing - IPDS Data Streams, on page 31 Comment Recommended method for SNA Recommended method for SCS over TCP/IP Recommended method for IPDS over TCP/IP If you intend to operate your Axis Network Print Server in a multiprotocol environment, you should also proceed to the other relevant sections in this manual. SNA Printing - 5494 Mode The 5494 mode provides a significantly richer set of features for formatting text and is the recommended emulation mode in AS/400 environments. The 5494 mode supports DBCS which accommodates printing from AS/400 host systems using languages that employ double-byte character sets, namely Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Refer to DBCS Support, on page 197 for further information. The AXIS print server supports printing SCS and IPDS data streams via the SNA transport protocol. 22 AXIS 5570e / AXIS 5670e User's Manual Setting Up - AS/400 (iSeries) Note: SNA is only available for print server models with the SNA option installed.
