AXIS 5800+ Mobile Connecting the Hardware 5
Connecting the Hardware
1. Make sure that the printer is switched off and that the power supply is disconnected from
the AXIS 5800+ Mobile.
2. Locate the serial number, found on the underside label of the AXIS 5800+, and write it
down. Example: Ser. No. 00408C1802FB
3. Connect your printer(s) to the print server’s LPT1 or LPT2 port using a printer cable. Make
sure the
Bluetooth
antenna is pointing upwards.
4. Connect your AXIS 5800+ to your network (Ethernet Connector), using a twisted pair
category 5 cable.
5. Switch on your printer(s) and make sure it is ready for use.
6. Connect the power supply to the AXIS 5800+. The Network Indicator will start flashing
when the print server is correctly connected to the network.
7. Wait 1 minute and press the test button once. A test page will be printed on the
connected printer, keep it handy during the installation. The test page will show the IP
address of the print server.

Automatic IP address assignment
If you are working in a Windows network that uses dynamic 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:
All methods are enabled by default.
1. Open a Web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer or Netscape).
2. In the Web browser’s Location/Address field, enter the print server’s IP address (Internet
address), found on the test page printed in Connecting the Hardware on page 5, 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 5800+ to your network. Proceed to
Configuring a Printer on page 9.
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
on page 7.
Notes:
Methods Server Platforms Comments
Windows UNIX Mac OS X
RARP X X Downloads the IP Address to each device automatically
BOOTP X X Similar to RARP, although can operate on the entire network.
DHCP XXXAutomatic but temporary assignment of IP addresses.
Auto-IP XXXAutomatic but temporary assignment of IP addresses.
• Use a Web browser with JavaScript support
• The AXIS 5800+ supports WINS (Windows Internet Name Service), which is recommended when set-
ting the IP address using DHCP in Windows environments.
• If you are working in a WINS/DDNS network, you can log in to 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(xxxxxxare the last six digits of the serial number, found on the print server’s underside
label). Example: If the serial number is 00408C1802FB, type AXIS1802FB and press Enter.
• DHCP, RARP and BOOTP can be used to set the IP address in UNIX, see the AXIS 5800+ User’s Manual
for details.
• If you are working in a network that does not use dynamic IP address assignment, refer to Manual IP
address assignment on page 7 to assign an IP address to the print server manually.
• See the AXIS 5800+ User’s Manual for installation instructions in a NetBIOS/NetBEUI environment.
The User’s Manual is available from the AXIS Product CD and the Axis web site at www.axis.com

AXIS 5800+ Mobile Manual IP address assignment 7
Manual IP address assignment
To establish communication with the TCP/IP network, an IP Address must be assigned to
your AXIS 5800+. Choose an appropriate method from the table below:
Note:
Setting the IP address using AXIS IP JumpStarter
Use IP JumpStarter to set the IP address. Download IP JumpStarter from the AXIS Network
Product CD or the Axis web site at www.axis.com and install it on your workstation.
1. Select the required server from the serial number list in the IP JumpStarter dialog
window.
2. From the Server menu, select Set IP Address.
3. Click the radio button that corresponds to your choice of IP setting method.
4. Click OK to save your settings.
5. Enter the server root password (by default set to pass), and click OK.
6. The AXIS 5800+ will appear in the list with the assigned IP address.
7. To access the print server’s web pages, highlight the AXIS 5800+ in the list and select
Server Home Page from the Server menu.

Refer to the appropriate section below to assign an IP address to your AXIS 5800+ using
ARP:
Windows 95, 98, NT, Me, 2000, XP
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 using FTP or Reverse Telnet.
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 using FTP
or Reverse Telnet.

2. arp -s <host name> <Ethernet address> temp
ping <host name> arp -s psname 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp
ping psname
• 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.
• The ability to set the IP address with arp and ping will only be enabled 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.
•Thearp 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 5800+ 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
