Assigning an IP address

Before you Start
System Privileges
Ethernet Address
IP Address
Important:
If you have a DHCP server on your network, your print server
•
will receive an IP address automatically. The IP address (Internet
address) will then appear on the test page you printed during
installation.
If you are not working in a DHCP network, you need to set the
•
IP address of the print server manually. See the manual methods
for setting an IP address on page 22.
You need root privileges on your UNIX, Linux and Mac OS X system, or
administrator privileges on a Windows NT server to:
• set the IP address using RARP, BOOTP, DHCP
• add an entry to the ARP table with the command 'arp -s'
You need to know the Ethernet address of your AXIS 5600+ in order
to assign an IP address to it. The Ethernet address is based upon the
serial number of your print server. This means, for example, that an
AXIS 5600+ with the serial number of 00408C100086, will have the
corresponding Ethernet address of 00 40 8C 10 00 86. The serial
number is located on the bottom label of the print server.
Unless you are assigning an IP address using DHCP or AutoIP, you
must obtain an unused IP address from your network administrator.
DO NOT use the IP addresses used in the following examples when
installing your AXIS 5600+. Consult your network administrator
before assigning an IP address to your print server.
