Assigning An Ip Address - Axis 5470e User Manual

Assigning an IP address

To establish communication with the TCP/IP network, an IP address must be assigned to
your AXIS 5470e. Choose an appropriate method from the table below:
Method:
DHCP
RARP
BOOTP
Auto-IP
If you are working in a Windows network with automatic IP address assignment, your
print server will obtain an IP address automatically when you connect it to the network.
Follow the instructions on this page to verify the IP address:
1. Open a web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer or Netscape Communicator).
2. In the Web browser's Location/Address field, enter the print server's IP address, found on
the test page (see Connecting the Printer to the Network on page 8) and press Enter.
3. If the Network Print Server web page appears in your Web browser, the IP address was
set automatically when you connected the AXIS 5470e to your network.
4. If the Network Print Server web page does not appear, you need to set the print server's
IP address manually using one of the methods described in Manual IP address assignment
on page 11.
Notes:
•
Use a Web browser with JavaScript support and Java enabled.
•
The AXIS 5470e supports WINS (Windows Internet Name Service), which is recommended when set-
ting the IP address using DHCP in Windows environments.
•
If you are working in a WINS/ DDNS network, you can access the print server's web pages using its
default host name: In the Web browser's Location/Address field, enter the default print server name
AXISxxxxxx (xxxxxx are the last six digits of the serial number, found on the print server's underside
label). Example: If the serial number is 00 40 8c 18 16 36, type AXIS181636 and press Enter.
•
DHCP, RARP and BOOTP can be used to set the IP address in UNIX, see the AXIS 5470e User's Manual
for details.
•
See the AXIS 5470e User's Manual for installation instructions in a NetBIOS/NetBEUI environment.
The User's Manual is available from the AXIS Network Product CD and from the Axis web site at
www.axis.com
• If you are working in a network that does not use dynamic IP address assignment, refer to Manual IP
address assignment on page 11 to assign an IP address to the print server manually.
Server Required:
DHCP server
RARP server
