AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e Features and Benefits
Reliability The AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e 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 5570e/AXIS
5670e can emulate IBM twinax and coax print and control
functionality. This means that the AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e 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
.Speed The AXIS ETRAX 100LX chip has been specifically designed for LAN
products. High speed Centronics communication such as ECP,
Hewlett-Packard Fast Mode, High Speed and IBM Fast Byte is
supported.
Easy to Install You can install the AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e in minutes, using a
standard web browser.
Security You can assign a password to restrict login and printer access, disable
protocols and force a secure mode over https. See “Secure Web
Services — SSL/TLS” on page 231.

AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e User’s Manual Section 1: Introduction 13
Monitoring The internal AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e Web pages allow you to
continuously monitor printer status. Integrity of your printing is also
monitored via interactive communication with the IBM host.
The AXIS Print Monitor for Windows 98, Windows Me and Windows
NT can be configured to display pop-up messages that show the
status of peer-to-peer print jobs.
The AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e additionally supports SNMP for remote
monitoring.
Futureproof You can upgrade the AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e Flash memory over FTP,
via the print server’s web interface or using AXIS ThinWizard
software.
This allows you to quickly update and enhance the operational
features of your AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e when new print server
software becomes available. See “Upgrading the Firmware” on
page 236.
