Product Overview
Thank you for purchasing the AXIS 5570e print server. This product has been developed to connect your printers
anywhere in your network, allowing all network users access to the shared printer resources.
The AXIS 5570e is a LAN attached multi-protocol print server that prints IBM and ASCII data streams to any ASCII
printer. Supporting IBM Mainframes, AS/400, NetWare, UNIX, LAN Server Manager, Windows and Apple
EtherTalk, these products are ideal for IBM Mainframe and AS/400 sites that are migrating from pure IBM networks
to LAN environments.
About this Installation Guide
This Installation Guide is applicable for the AXIS 5570e with firmware version 7.10 or higher, providing
introductory information on how to set up and manage the print servers in various network environments. It is
intended for everyone involved in installing and managing the print server. To fully benefit from this document,
you should be familiar with basic networking principles.
These instructions are based on the settings in a new and unconfigured print server.
To reload the default parameters, you can perform a Factory Default, which will restore most of the settings. See
Using the Test Button, on page 35.
This information is available in French, German, Spanish and Italian on the Axis Network print Servers CD
shipped with this product or on the Axis Website at www.axis.com
In the AXIS 5570e User’s Manual you will find a more extensive description of the print server. The User’s Manual
is available on the Axis Network print Servers CD shipped with this product or on the Axis Website at

Automatic IP Address Assignment using DHCP
If you are working in a network with automatic IP address assignment, your print server will obtain an IP address
automatically when you connect it to the network. Follow the instructions on this page to verify the IP address:
1. Open a Web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Netscape Communicator).
2. In the Location/Address field, enter the print server’s IP address, found on the test page (see Connecting the
Hardware) and press Enter.
3. If the Network Print Server Web page appears in your Web browser, the IP address was set automatically
when you connected the AXIS 5570e to your network.
4. If the Network Print Server Web page does not appear, you need to set the print server’s IP address manually
using one of the methods described in Manual IP address assignment.
Notes:
• Use a Web browser with JavaScript support and Java enabled.
• The AXIS 5570e 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 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 1c f0, type AXIS181cf0 and press Enter.
• DHCP, RARP and BOOTP can be used to set the IP address in UNIX, see the AXIS 5570e User’s Manual for
details.
• See the AXIS 5570e User’s Manual for installation instructions in a NetBIOS/NetBEUI environment. The
User’s Manual is available on www.axis.com.

ENGLISH
Automatic IP Address Assignment using AXIS AddPrinter
AXIS AddPrinter Wizard is an easy-to-use Windows application that allows you to find print servers in your
network and assign an IP address to them. See Installing printers using AXIS AddPrinter, on page 18.
Manual IP address assignment
To establish communication with the TCP/IP network, an IP Address must be assigned to your AXIS 5570e. 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 manually using ARP/Ping, on page 11.
•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 Print Server Management using AXIS ThinWizard, on page 33
Note:
Setting the IP address manually using ARP/Ping
Refer to the appropriate section below to assign an IP address to your AXIS 5570e using arp/ping:
Windows
Open a Command Prompt and enter the following syntax:
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:
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!
If you are using host names, you can map a unique host name to the IP address. Refer to your system man-
uals for instructions on how this is performed on your system.
Syntax Example
1.
2.
arp -s <Internet address> <Ethernet address>
ping <Internet address> arp -s 192.168.3.191 00-40-8c-18-16-36 ping 192.168.3.191
Syntax Example
1.
2.
arp -s <Internet address> <Ethernet address>
ping <Internet address> arp -s 192.168.3.191.00:40:8c:18:16:36 ping 192.168.3.191
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 | Default Router and
Subnet Mask. DHCP, Auto-IP, BOOTP and RARP must first be set to No.

Page 12 AXIS 5570e Installation Guide
Notes:
• The AXIS 5570e supports WINS (Windows Internet Name Service), which is recommended when setting
the IP address using DHCP in Windows environments.
• Setting the IP address with arp and ping is only possible in the first ten 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
(refer to the AXIS 5570e User’s Manual for more information).
• 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 <host name> <Ethernet Address> temp
