Thank you for purchasing the AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e 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/AXIS 5670e 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.
This manual is applicable for the AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e with firmware
version 7.06 or higher, providing introductory information as well as
detailed instructions on how to set up and manage the print server in
various network environments. It is intended for everyone involved in
installing and managing the print server. To fully benefit from this
manual, 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 "Performing a Factory
Default" on page 208.
