Section 3: Basic Installation AXIS 5470e User’s Manual The AXIS 5470e can automatically download a customized config file from a TFTP server. Just add the name of the config file and the TFTP server’s IP address to your DHCP scope. The config file is downloaded immediately after the AXIS 5470e receives its IP address.
• Ethernet address is equal to the serial number, which is located on the underside label of the AXIS 5470e. • The ARP command varies between different UNIX systems. Some BSD type systems expect the host name and node address in reverse order. Fur- thermore IBM AIX systems will require the additional argument ether.

IBM printer emulation. Unsupported Fonts A selection of an unsupported FGID value will result in a substitution to a default font. The AXIS 5470e uses the same default fonts as the emulated IBM printers.
40 (6 points). Scalable Fonts If the selected font width (point size) is not available for the selected FGID, the AXIS 5470e will set a point size in one of the following ways depending on the font: Times Roman,...
