Print Server Features and Benefits
Reliability The Axis Network Print Server print server provides high performance
and reliability combined with low power consumption. The electronic
circuits are based on the AXIS ETRAX 100LX chip, which comprises an
integrated 32 bit RISC processor and associated network controllers.
Flexibility 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.
Easy to Install The print server installs, operates and is managed in a reliable and easy
fashion.
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 163.
Monitoring 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 additionally supports SNMP for remote 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.
NetWare Packet
Signature
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.

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 15.
Obtaining an IP
Address through
Auto-IP
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.
Important: 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:
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 17.
•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 132
• 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 15 to assign an IP address to the print server
manually.

• The Ethernet address is equal to the serial number, which is located on the underside
label of the AXIS 5570e.
• 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 <host name> 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.

Basic Installation

1. Append the following line to your Ethernet Address table. This is typically
located in the /etc/ethers file:
Example:
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 to download the IP address.
Notes:
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
Example:
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.
<Ethernet address> <host name>

• The Ethernet address is equal to the serial number, which can be found on the underside
label of the AXIS 5570e.
• 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.

AXIS 5570e User’s Manual 19
Notes:
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
•subnetmask
• 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.
Ethernet Address You need to know the Ethernet address of your AXIS 5570e 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.
• 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 under-
side 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 signifi-
cantly 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. Further-
more IBM AIX systems will require the additional argument ether.
Example: arp -s ether <host name> <Ethernet Address> temp

Basic Installation
20 AXIS 5570e User’s Manual
IP Address If you do not have a DHCP server on your network, you must obtain an
unused IP address from your network administrator.
Important:
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 127.
DDNS Host Name
Rules
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 127.
If the host name matches another entry in the DDNS data base, the Axis
Network Print Server deletes the entry before registering.
Notes:
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.
• 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.
