AXIS 5500 / AXIS 5550 User's Manual
Once you have assigned an IP address to the print server, you are free to access
the print server's Web pages from any Web browser with Javascript enabled.
The Web interface of the print server is divided into two modes of operation:
User mode and Admin mode.
In User mode, you have no rights to change any parameters. This mode is
intended for regular users who are only interested in using the print server's
interface for checking print jobs or viewing printer properties. If you want to
change any of the print server's settings, you must enter the Admin mode.
However, if you have access rights to the Admin mode, you can change some of
the basic parameters from User mode via the Configuration Wizard.
When in Admin mode, you have access to all the print server's parameters and
you can change them to your liking. This mode is intended for network
administrators and is password protected to prevent unauthorized changing of
the print server parameters.
If the ROOT_PWD. parameter is set to pass (which is the default value), you have access to the
User mode as well as the Admin mode.
Follow the steps below to access the internal home page of the AXIS 5500/AXIS
5550.
1. Start your Web browser.
2. In the Location/Address field, type the host name or the IP address of your
print server.
3. The User Mode Printer Overview page of the print server will appear in the
browser window.
4. Click Admin to enter the Admin mode. If the management password is set
to anything but pass, you must enter root as the user.
The default password is pass.
• It is highly recommended that you change the default password to prevent unauthorized
access to the print server's configuration pages. This is done from the Admin | General
Settings | General tab in the Root Password field.
• You can address the print server's Web interface in the secure way, i.e. via https://
To do this you must enable the SSL/TLS protocols in the web interface: Admin | Network
Settings | Detailed View| TCP/IP and set the HTTPS Enabled parameter to Yes (you must
have a valid certificate loaded).If you do not have a valid certificate loaded, select
Admin | Security Settings and click Create.
