AXIS 560/660 User’s Guide Basic Installation
Connecting the printer to the Network
Follow the instructions below to connect a printer to the network via the AXIS
560/660 print server:
Caution!
The external power supply you are using must be marked with the correct mains voltage! Refer to
Hardware Inventory, on page 6.
1. Make sure that the printer is switched off and that the AXIS 560/660 external
power supply is disconnected.
2. Locate the serial number, found on the underside label of the AXIS 560/660, and
write it down. You will need this number during the network configuration.
Note:
7
NetWare
Windows
Each AXIS 560/660 Print Server is pre-configured with a unique node address that is identical
to the serial number.
3. Connect the printer to the LPT1, LPT2, or COM1 port on the AXIS 560/660
using an appropriate printer cable.
4. Connect your AXIS 560/660 to the network using either a twisted pair
(10baseT) or thin wire (10base2) cable.
5. For the AXIS 660 only: Slide the Ring Speed switch to 4 or 16, as appropriate for
your Token Ring network.
6. Switch on the printer and connect the ex ternal power supply to the AXIS
560/660. The power indicator light comes on. If the networ k indicator starts to
flash, the AXIS 560/660 is successfully connected to the network.
7. Press and release the test button on the AXIS 560/660 to print a test page. If the
AXIS 560/660 is correctly connected to the printer, the AXIS 560/660 internal
test page will be printed.

Assigning an IP Address AXIS 560/660 User’s Guide
Assigning an IP Address
To establish communication with the TCP/IP network, an IP ad dress must be
assigned to your AXIS 560/660 . Choose an approp riate me thod from the table be low:
NetWare
Server Platform Availability
UNIX Windows OS/2 NetWare
AXIS IP Installer X X
DHCP X X X X
ARP X X X X
Windows
Note:
OS/2
All methods are enabled by default. This means that if you have a DHCP server
running on your network, the AXIS 560/660 will receive an IP address immediately
after you have connected it into the network.
AXIS IP Installer is a Windows utility that allows you to set the IP address of your
AXIS 560/660. AXIS IP Installer is available on the AXIS Online CD. It can also be
downloaded from the Axis WWW home page at http://www.axis.com/.
Macintosh
Refer to the AXIS 560/660 User’s Manual for a more comprehensive description of
the available methods.
BOOTP X X X
RARP X
Refer to Setup for Macintosh, on page 19, for setting the IP address in the Macintosh environment.
Host Name Resolution
UNIX
If you are using host names, you can map a unique host name to the IP address. The
AXIS 560/660 supports WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) and DDNS
(Dynamic Domain Name System), which are recommended to use for host name
resolution when setting the IP address using DHCP.
WINS only supports 15 character long host names. If your host name is longer than
15 characters, your AXIS 560/660 truncates the host name to 15 characters when
registering with a WINS server.
