DO NOT connect or disconnect the network cabling while the
AXIS 640/642 is powered on.
1. Switch off the printer and disconnect the AXIS 640/642 external
power supply.
2. Note the AXIS 640/642 serial number found on the underside
label of the print server. You need this number during the
network configuration.
3. Slide the Ring Speed switch towards 4 or 16 depending on the
ring speed of your network.
4. Connect your AXIS 640/642 to the network using an STP
(Media Type 1) or UTP (Media Type 3) cable.
5. Switch on the printer and connect the external power supply to
the AXIS 640/642.
6. Successful connection of the AXIS 640/642 to your network will
be confirmed by the intermittent flashing of the Network
Indicator.
7. You are now ready to install your server onto your network using
one of the methods detailed in the Installation Guide, on page 20.
By commencing with your preferred installation method, you can
further verify that your AXIS 640/642 is properly connected to
your network.
Each AXIS 640/642 Print Server is pre-configured with a unique
Node Address that is identical to the serial number. This can be
changed using the AXIS NetPilot, or any standard Web browser,
if so required.
It is recommended that you use screened or foiled Media Type 3
cabling for 16 Mbit networks and not standard UTP cabling.
