Connecting a printer to the Ethernet Network
Follow the instructions below to connect a printer to the network via
the AXIS 5400+ print server.
Caution
1. Make sure that the printer is switched off and that the AXIS
5400+ external power supply is disconnected.
2. Locate the serial number, found on the underside label of the
AXIS 5400+, and write it down. You will need this number later
during the network configuration.
3. Connect the AXIS 5400+ to the printer, either directly to the
parallel printer port, or using the optional printer cable extension
with the optional velcro ribbons.
4. Connect your AXIS 5400+ to the network using a twisted pair
category 5 cable (10baseT and 100baseTX).
5. Switch on the printer. Your printer must be ready for use when
you switch it on.
6. Connect the external power supply to the AXIS 5400+. The
power indicator lights. If the network indicator starts to flash, the
AXIS 5400+ is successfully connected to the network.
7. Press and release the test button on the AXIS 5400+ to print a test
page. If the printer and the AXIS 5400+ are correctly connected,
the AXIS 5400+ internal test page will be printed. If you are
working in a DHCP network, your print server will receive an IP
address automatically when you connect it to the network. You
can see the IP address (Internet Address) printed on the test page.
You are now ready to install your server onto your network using one
of the methods detailed in the Installation Guide, on page 20.
The AXIS 5400+ external power supply you are using must be marked with the
correct voltage! Refer to Package Contents, on page 14.
