1. Connect the Hardware

1. Make sure that the printer is switched off and that the Power Adapter is disconnected from the print server.

2. Locate the serial number, found on the underside label of the print server, and write it down.

Example: S/N: 00408c181cf0

3. Connect the printer directly to a port on the print server or using an appropriate cable.

4. Connect the AXIS 5400+/AXIS 5600+ to your network (Ethernet Connector), using a twisted pair RJ45 category 5 cable.

7. Wait 1 minute and press the test button once. A test page will be printed on the connected printer — keep it handy during the installation. The test page will show the assigned IP address of the print server.

Print server’s IP address

Test page

AXIS 5400+/AXIS 5600+ User’s Guide

2. Assign an IP address

2.1 Automatic IP address assignment

If you are working in a network with automatic IP address assignment (e.g. DHCP, RARP, BOOTP, Auto-IP), your print server will obtain an IP address automatically when you connect it to the network. You will find the print server’s IP address on the test page you printed out on page 8, go to Verify access to the print server’s web pages, on page 12

2.2 Manual IP address assignment

If you wish to set the IP address manually, choose one of these methods:

• AXIS IP JumpStarter - Axis software that locates print servers on your network and allows you to assign an IP address to them. Recommended for small offices and local networks. Refer to Set the IP address manually using AXIS IP JumpStarter software on page 10 for instructions.

English

• ARP/Ping - use this alternative method to set the IP address for each print server individually. Refer to Alternative method for setting the IP address manually: ARP/Ping on page 11 for instructions.

• AXIS ThinWizard for Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. Axis software that assists in setting the IP address of several print servers. Recommended for large organizations and enterprise networks. Refer to Managing multiple print servers with AXIS ThinWizard software, on page 25

AXIS 5400+/AXIS 5600+ User’s Guide

2.2.1 Set the IP address manually using AXIS IP JumpStarter software

AXIS IP JumpStarter software is used to set the IP address of the print server.

1. Install AXIS IP JumpStarter. It is available free of charge on www.axis.com

2. Select the required server from the serial number list in the IP JumpStarter dialog window.

Click here to

access the print server’s internal web pages.

English

3. From the Server menu, select Set IP Address.

4. Click the radio button that corresponds to your choice of IP setting method. You must define the Subnet Mask and Default Gateway when assigning a static IP address.

5. Click OK to save your settings.

6. Enter the server root password (by default set to pass), and click OK.

7. The AXIS 5400+/AXIS 5600+ will appear in the list with the assigned IP address.

8. To verify that you have access to the print server’s web pages, highlight the print server in the list and select Server Home Page from the Server menu.

Note:

If your print server does not appear in the serial number list, refer to the AXIS IP JumpStarter online help files!

AXIS 5400+/AXIS 5600+ User’s Guide

2.2.2 Alternative method for setting the IP address manually: ARP/Ping

Refer to the appropriate section below to assign an IP address to your AXIS 5400+/AXIS 5600+ using ARP/Ping:

Windows

1. Open a Command Prompt and enter the following commands:

Syntax Example

arp -s <IP address> <Ethernet address> arp -s 192.168.3.191 00-40-8c-18-1c-f0

ping <IP address> ping 192.168.3.191

2. The host will return the address has been set and that communication is established.

3. Next, log in to the print server’s web pages ( - See page 12) and define the Default Router and Subnet Mask of your network: choose Admin | Network Settings | Detailed View | TCP/IP.

DHCP, Auto-IP, BOOTP and RARP (...Enabled) must first be set to No!

reply from 192.168.3.191, or a similar message. This indicates that

English

UNIX/Linux, Mac OS X

1. Open a Terminal window and enter the following commands:

Syntax Example

arp -s <IP address> <Ethernet address> temp arp -s 192.168.3.191 00:40:8c:18:1c:f0 temp

ping <IP address> ping 192.168.3.191

2. The host will return the address has been set and that communication is established.

3. Next, log in to the print server’s web pages ( - See page 12) and define the Default Router and Subnet Mask of your network: choose Admin | Network Settings | Detailed View | TCP/IP.

DHCP, Auto-IP, BOOTP and RARP (...Enabled) must first be set to No!

Notes:

• The Ethernet Address/MAC address is the same as the serial number, found on the print server’s underside label.

Enter the Ethernet Address in the same format as in the examples above.

• Setting the IP address with arp and ping is only possible during the first ten minutes after re-booting the

print server. Re-boot the print server by disconnecting and then re-connecting its power supply.

• When you execute the ping command for the first time, you may experience a significantly longer response

time than usual.

192.168.3.191 is alive, or a similar message. This indicates that

• You need root privileges on your UNIX/Linux and Mac system in order to execute the arp command (refer to

the User’s Manual for more information).

• Use the command man arp to get a list of arp commands in UNIX/Linux.

AXIS 5400+/AXIS 5600+ User’s Guide

2.3 Verify access to the print server’s web pages
