Features in AXIS 5900

This section describes some special features offered by the AXIS
5900. These features are incorporated in the print server's
firmware, which is an integrated part of the AXIS 5900.
The AXIS 5900 Network Print Server connects wirelessly to the
network, bringing you the freedom to place network printers
anywhere. Works with any 802.11b Access Point and most
printers. It's simple to manage, easy to install and supports
Windows, UNIX, Macintosh and Novell.
In the absence of an IP address management mechanism such as
DHCP, the print server will receive a temporary IP address
automatically over Auto-IP, a method which enables the host to
automatically take a link-local IPv4 address. Auto-IP is
supported by Windows 98, Me, 2000, XP and Mac OS version
8.5 or higher.
In AppleTalk, the print server can automatically detect the type
of printer you are using if you enable the 'Autodetect Printer
Type'-function. See Autodetect Printer Type, on page 68.
