AXIS 5600 Physical Description
Plan view of the AXIS 5600
Network Connectors The AXIS 5600 is designed for 10 Mbps Ethernet and 100 Mbps Fast
Ethernet networks and connects to the network via a twisted pair
category 5 cable (10baseT and 100baseTX) or better. The AXIS 5600
is equipped with an autosensing function that detects the speed of the
local network segment and varies the speed of its data communication
accordingly, between 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps.
Printer Ports The AXIS 5600 print server is provided with two high-speed IEEE
1284 compatible parallel ports and one serial port. Any standard
printer can be connected to any of the ports. Print data can be directed
to any of the three ports simultaneously, which means that three
different printers can be used at the same time, regardless of protocol.
