Product Overview AXIS 5470e/570/670e User’s Guide
Product Overview
The AXIS 5470e, AXIS 570 and AXIS 670e (collectively referred to as AXIS 5470e/570/670e in
this document) are LAN attached multiprotocol print servers that print IBM and ASCII data
streams to any ASCII printer. Supporting IBM Mainframes, AS/400, NetWare, UNIX, LAN
Server Manager, Windows, OS /2 and Apple EtherTalk, these produc ts are ideal for IBM
Mainframe and AS/400 sites that are migrating from pure IBM networks to LAN environments.
A more comprehensive description of the AXIS 5470e/570/670e is presented in the AXIS
5470e/570/670e User’s Manual which is available from the AXIS Product CD and the AXIS
Website at http://www.axis.com

Connecting the Printer to the Network AXIS 5470e/570/670e User’s Guide
Connecting the Printer to the Network
Follow the instructions below to connect your printer to the network:
1. Switch off the printer and disconnect the AXIS 5470e/570/670e external power supply.
2. Locate the serial number, found on the underside label of the AXIS 5470e/570/670e, and
write it down. You will need this number during the network configuration.
Note:
Each AXIS 5470e/570/670e is pre-configured with a unique node address that is identical to its
serial number.
3. AXIS 5470e - Connect the AXIS 5470e to your printer, either directly to the parallel printer
port, or using the optional printer cable extension with the optional velcro ribbons.
AXIS 570/670e - Connect the printer to the LPT1, LPT2 or the COM1 port on your AXIS
570/670e using an appropriate printer cable.
4. Conn ect your AXIS 5470e/570/670e to the network using an appropriate network cable. If
you are connecting the AXIS 5470e to a Fast Ethernet network, the twiste d pai r cabl e must be
of category 5 or better.
5. Switch on the printer and connect the external power supply to the AXIS 5470e/570/670e.
The power indicator lights up. If the network indicator starts to flash, the AXIS
5470e/570/670e is correctly connected to the network.
6. Press and release the test button on the AXIS 5470e/570 /670e to print a test pag e. If the AXIS
5470e/570/670e is correctly connected to the printer, the AXIS 5470e/570/670e internal test
page will be printed.
AXIS 5470e/570/670e User’s Guide Assigning an IP address
Assigning an IP address
To establish communication with the TCP / IP network, an IP Address must be assigned to your
AXIS 5470e/570/670e. Choose an appropriate method from the table below:
Server Platform Availability Comments
UNIX Windows
ARP
RARP
BOOTP
DHCP
AXIS IP
Installer
Note:
X X
X Downloads the IP Address to each device automatically
X Similar to RARP, although can operate on the entire network.
X X Automatic but temporary assignment of IP address from a central pool.
X
Refer to Setting the IP address, on page 37, for setting the IP address in the Macintosh environment.
Requires the IP address for each new device to be downloaded individually.
Cannot be used over routers.
An Axis software tool that sets the IP address of each device. AXIS IP Installer
is available on the AXIS Product CD.

All methods are enabled by default. This means that if you have a DHCP server running on your
network, the AXIS 5470e/570/670e will receive its IP address immediately after you have
connected it to the network.
As the ARP command is available in all supported environments, it is described in detail in the
table below. Refer to the AXIS 5470e/570/670e User’s Manual for a comprehensive description of
the other methods.
