Thank you for purchasing the AXIS 5900. This product has been
developed to connect your printers anywhere in your network, allowing
all network users access to shared printer resources.
The AXIS 5900 can be installed either as an IEEE 802.11b wireless print
server or as an Ethernet attached print server.
This manual is applicable for the AXIS 5900 with firmware version 7.00
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 134.
