Quick Overview

Connect the Hardware

14
Follow these steps to make your printer network ready:
1. Connect the Hardware, on page 14
2. Setting the IP Address, on page 16
3. "Installation Guide" on page 15
1. Make sure that the printer is switched off and that the Power Adapter is
disconnected from the print server.
2. Locate the serial number, found on the underside label of the print server,
and write it down. Example: S/N: 00408c181cf0
3. Connect the printer(s) to the print server.
4. Connect the print server to the network (Ethernet Connector) using a
twisted pair RJ45 cable (of category 5 or better).
5. Switch on the printer and make sure it is ready for printing (display showing
"Online", "Ready", etc.).
6. Connect the Power Adapter to the print server. The power indicator lights
up. If the network indicator starts to flash, 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 assigned IP address of the print server.
The print server can now be installed in your network using one of the
methods detailed in the Installation Guide, on page 15.
Notes:
• 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 128, for more information.
• The AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e 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 "Management and Configuration" on page
128, for more information.
