AXIS 5400+ / AXIS 5600+ User's Manual
The print server provides high performance and reliability combined with low
power consumption. The electronic circuits are based on the AXIS ETRAX 100 LX
chip, which comprises an integrated 32 bit RISC processor and associated
network controllers.
The print server supports printing in all major computer systems and
environments, including five different print methods in the TCP/IP environment.
The integrated IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) function allows for printing from
LAN to LAN via a WAN, such as the Internet.
The AXIS ETRAX 100 LX chip supports data transfer rates of up to 200 Mbit/s
(100 Mbit Ethernet full duplex).
The print server installs, operates and is managed in a reliable and easy fashion.
You can assign a password to restrict login and printer access. It is also possible
to disable protocols and force a secure mode (https).
The internal print server Web pages, AXIS NetPilot (2.70 and up) and AXIS
ThinWizard (3.0 and up) allow you to continuously monitor printer status. The
Web pages are used to monitor single Axis units while AXIS ThinWizard can be
used to monitor multiple Axis units. AXIS NetPilot is primarily recommended for
Queue-based printing over IPX/SPX in NetWare.
Through e-mail notification, the printer administrator can be notified by e-mail
whenever an event that requires human intervention occurs in a printer. The e-
mail contains a short and concise description of the event.
The firmware stored in the print server Flash memory can be upgraded over the
network. This allows you to quickly update and enhance its operational features
when new print server software becomes available.
The print server supports NetWare Packet Signature Level 1, 2, 3, which
protects servers and clients using the NetWare Core Protocol
packet signature prevents packet forgery by requiring the server and the client
to sign each NCP packet. See your Novell NetWare documentation for detailed
information.
