Follow the instructions below to configure your Axis Network Print
Server using a standard Web browser:
1. Start a Web browser, e.g. Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
2. Enter the IP address or the host name of the Axis Network Print Server in
the location field and press the Enter key on your keyboard. The internal Web
pages of the Axis Network Print Server will appear.
To protect the Admin pages and the Configuration Wizard from unauthorized use, enter a
password (default Pass) in the Root Password field under Admin | General Settings.

Explanation
Defines the number and size of the data buffers. It is recommended
that you specify at least 160 data buffers and a buffer size of
32768 bytes
Defines the number of small data buffers. It is recommended that
you specify at least 256 small data buffers
Defines the number of tiny data buffers. It is recommended that
you specify at least 256 tiny data buffers
PSF relies on TCP to detect when a connection with a TCP/IP-
attached printer or an Axis Network Print Server is no longer
available. When no data has been exchanged between PSF and its
connection partner, TCP sends keep-alive probes to the connection
partner periodically. These periodic probes, called keep-alive
transmissions, enable TCP to discover when a connection is no
longer usable even if the connection partner is abruptly powered off
or is no longer accessible through the network.
The frequency of keep-alive transmissions is controlled by the
INTERVAL parameter on the KEEPALIVEOPTIONS statement. The
frequency applies to all TCP applications that direct TCP to send
keep alive transmissions. The default frequency is after about two
hours of inactivity.
We recommend that you specify a shorter interval than the default,
such as 10 minutes, for the interval between keep-alive
transmissions.
Also, if any target host on you network requires that the keep-alive
packet contains data, specify SENDGARBAGE TRUE
The Packet_size parameter of the GATEWAY statement defines the
maximum transmission unit (MTU) for the MVS host. The MTU size
must not exceed the maximum size that can be sent through the
control unit; if it does, transmission problems will occur.
The MTU size should be 2000 bytes and the MTU size for the MVS
host should be the same as the MTU size for the printer.
For values in the GATEWAY statement other than the packet size,
specify the values that are correct for your installation.
