4. Connect your AXIS 5800+ Mobile to the network using a twisted
pair category 5 cable (10baseT and 100baseTX).
5. Switch on the printer and connect the external power supply to
the AXIS 5800+ Mobile. The power indicator will light up. When
the network indicator starts to flash, the AXIS 5800+ Mobile is
successfully connected to the network.
6. Wait 1 minute. Press and release the test button on the AXIS
5800+ Mobile to print a test page. The test page includes a list of
the most important parameters, including the network speed,
firmware version number and IP address of the print server.
7. To administrate the AXIS 5800+ Mobile, you can access it via a
Web browser. For this to work, your print server needs an IP
address. If you are working in a DHCP network, your print server
will receive an IP address automatically when you connect it to
the network. The IP address will then appear on the test page you
printed earlier.
If you are not working in a DHCP network, you need to set the IP-
address of the print server manually. Follow the instructions in
Assign an IP address to the print server, on page 23.
Notes:
• A temporary IP address will be assigned to the print server if this
cannot be accomplished using DHCP. This is done using Auto-IP,
which uses a default IP address structure as follows:
169.254.xxx.xxx. To change this temporary IP address to a static
one, follow the instructions given in Set the IP address using AXIS
Print System, on page 26.
• The AXIS 5800+ Mobile uses high speed Centronics
Communication. For use with older printers not supporting high
speed, this function can be disabled by using any standard Web
browser. Please refer to Section 9 Management & Configuration,
on page 101, for more information.
