AXIS 5470e User’s Manual Section 1: Introduction 9
How to use it
Installation and
Integration
The installation of the AXIS 5470e and its integration into the
network is performed using the appropriate client software, provided
with your print server or your operating system.
Note:
Configuration and
Management
As the AXIS 5470e comprises a built-in Web server, it can be

AXIS 5470e Features and Benefits
Reliability The AXIS 5470e print server provides high performance and reliability
combined with low power consumption. The electronic circuits are
based on theimproved 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 5470e can
emulate IBM twinax and coax print and control functionality. This
means that the AXIS 5470e 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 and benefits users with a faster throughput than a direct
PC-to-printer connection. With a sustained data throughput ofmore
than 1 Mbyte per second, the AXIS 5470e is fast. 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 5470e in minutes, using any standard web
browser.
Security You can assign passwords to restrict both login and printer access.

AXIS 5470e User’s Manual Section 1: Introduction 11
Monitoring The internal AXIS 5470e 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 95, Windows 98 and Windows
NT can be configured to display pop-up messages that show the
status of peer-to-peer print jobs.
The AXIS 5470e additionally supports SNMP for remote monitoring.
Futureproof You can upgrade the AXIS 5470e Flash memory over the network.
This allows you to quickly update and enhance the operational
features of your AXIS 5470e when new print server software becomes
available.
Pocket-sized The AXIS 5470e is equipped with one high-speed parallel port
connector that plugs directly into the parallel port on the printer.

Note:
Network Connectors The AXIS 5470e is designed for 10 Mbps Ethernet and 100 Mbps Fast
Ethernet networks and connects to the network via a twisted pair
category 5 cable or better. The AXIS 5470e is equipped with an
autosensing function that detects the speed of the local network
segment and varies the speed of its data communication accordingly,
between 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps.
Printer Port The AXIS 5470e print server is provided with a single high-speed IEEE
1284 compatible parallel port, that connects directly, without the
need of cabling, to any standard printer.
A Centronics-to-Centronics extension cable may be obtained from
your local distributor for use with printers physically unable to
accommodate the AXIS 5470e.
Test Button The test button is used for:
• Printing a test page to check the connection to the printer.
• Printing the parameter list showing all the AXIS 5470e settings.
• Resetting the AXIS 5470e parameters to the factory default set-
tings.

the type of network into which you are integrating.
• The test page includes a list of the most important parameters, including
the network speed and the firmware version number.
• Each print server is pre-configured with a unique node address that is
identical to the serial number. The node address can be changed using any
standard Web browser. Please refer to Management and Configuration,
on page 134, for more information.
• The AXIS 5470e uses high speed Centronics communication. For use with
older printers not supporting high speed, this function can be disabled by
using any standard Web browser. Please refer to Section 11 Management
and Configuration, on page 134, for more information.

Assigning an IP address
To establish communication with the TCP/IP network, enabling TCP/IP
printing and Web browser management, an IP address must be
assigned to your AXIS 5470e.
Before you start
System privileges You need root privileges on your UNIX system, or administrator
privileges on a Windows NT server.
Ethernet address
AXIS 5470e
You need to know the Ethernet address of your AXIS 5470e to
perform the installation. The Ethernet address is based upon the serial
number of your AXIS 5470e. This means, for example, that an AXIS
5470e 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 bottom label of the print server.
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 5470e 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 5470e using DHCP.
The host name of the AXIS 5470e is specified by the PS_NAME
parameter. Refer to The Parameter List, on page 231.
DO NOT use the IP addresses used in the following examples when installing your
AXIS 5470e. Always consult your network administrator before assigning an IP
address to your AXIS 5470e.
