Basic Installation Assigning an IP Address to the Print Server Receiving an IP Address with DHCP If you have a DHCP server on your network, your print server will receive an IP address automatically. The IP address will then appear on the test page you print by pressing the test button once. If you are not working in a DHCP network, you need to set the IP address of the print server manually.
Basic Installation Manual IP Address Assignment Method Platform Windows ARP/Ping UNIX/Mac OS X AXIS AddPrinter Wizard AXIS ThinWizard Comment See Requires the IP address for each device to be downloaded individually. Cannot be used over routers. “Set the IP Address using ARP in Windows” on page 19 You must define the Default Router and Subnet Mask. Log in to the print server’s Web pages and select Admin | Network Settings | Detailed View | TCP/IP Network | Default Router and Subnet Mask.
Basic Installation If the host name matches another entry in the DDNS data base, the print server deletes that entry before registering. Notes: • The default host name of the AXIS 5550 is ’AXIS’ followed by the last 6 digits in the serial number. e.g. AXIS181636. The host name (Print server name) can be changed in the PS_NAME. field on the Admin | General Settings page.
Basic Installation Set the IP Address using RARP in UNIX/Linux Follow the instructions below to set the IP address using RARP. Append the following line to your Ethernet Address table. This is typically located in the /etc/ethers file: Example: 00:40:8c:10:00:86 npsname 1. Update, if necessary, your host table and alias name databases as required by your system. 2. If it is not already running, start the RARP daemon. This is typically performed using the rarpd -a command.
Basic Installation Set the IP Address using BOOTP in UNIX/Linux Below is an example of how to set the IP address of the print server using BOOTP: Append the following entry to your boot table. This is typically performed by editing the file: /etc/bootptab :ht=:vm=:\ :ha=:ip=:\ :sm=:gw= Example: npsname:ht=ether:vm=rfc1048:\ :ha=00408c100086:ip=192.168.3.191:\ :sm=255.255.255.0:gw=192.168.1.1 1.
Basic Installation Set the IP Address using ARP in Windows 1. Open a Command Prompt and enter the following commands: Syntax arp -s ping Example arp -s 192.168.3.191 00-40-8c-10-00-86 ping 192.168.3.191 2. The host will return reply from 192.168.3.191, or a similar message. This indicates that the address has been set and that communication is established. 3.
Basic Installation Notes: • If the host name has not been mapped to an IP address, simply replace the host name entry with the IP address. • The ARP command varies between different UNIX/Linux systems. Some BSD type systems expect the host name and node address in reverse order. Furthermore IBM AIX systems will require the additional argument ether. • When you execute the ping command for the first time, you may experience a significantly longer response time than is usual.
Basic Installation Installation and Integration Refer to the table below to select the appropriate installation method. All Axis client software is available on www.axis.

Configuration Possibilities ASCII to Postscript Conversion The AXIS 5550 logical printers can translate ASCII print data into PostScript format. This makes it possible to print on a PostScript printer from a host that does not support PostScript. The conversion is selected by activating a filter that converts ASCII data into Postscript. This filter can be activated individually for each logical printer. Activate your desired filter by setting the Printer Language Translation (PRx_FILT.) parameter.
Configuration Possibilities 4. Set the PostScript Page Size parameter to LETTER. 5. Set the PostScript Page Orientation parameter to LANDS. 6. Enter the string 48 0 120 60 30 50 in the PostScript Page Format text field. Hex code Explanation 48 48 lines per page 0 disable line wrap 120 120 = 12 characters per inch 60 60 = 6 lines per inch 30 30 = 3 mm left margin 50 50 = 5 mm top margin 7. Enter the string Helvetica in the PostScript Font text field. 8. Click the OK button.
Configuration Possibilities Read Back of information The AXIS 5550 supports bi-directional printing. The information from the printer is read back on the parallel port when the parameter Read Back Port (PRx_IN.) has the default setting of AUTO. However, it is required that the printer also supports bi-directional printing. Please refer to your printer documentation for further details regarding bi-directional printing support.
Configuration Possibilities Network Speed With the Network Speed parameter you can manually specify the speed at which you will send and receive network packages. You can change the Network Speed setting to correspond to the type of network you are using (10 or 100 Mbit).

Print jobs from IP addresses specified in the TCP printing restriction list will be accepted or rejected.
Configuration Possibilities Enabling Secure Web Services — SSL/TLS In a new and unconfigured AXIS 5550, SSL/TLS is disabled. Certificates To use SSL/TLS you have to create or obtain a digital certificate. There are two kinds of certificates: self-signed certificates and third party certificates. • • Self-signed certificates are less secure but normally they are sufficiently secure for small networks with no public access. You generate such a certificate yourself and there are no fees to pay.
Configuration Possibilities browser session. The browser reports the new state by changing into https mode. In the browser’s Security Alert box, select View Certificate and Install Certificate. Follow the instructions of the Install Certificate Wizard. Generating a Certificate Request Select the Generate Certificate Request radio button and click Next.
Configuration Possibilities Disabling Protocols To further increase security, you must disable protocols that are considered insecure; • FTP (also used by AXIS ThinWizard, if FTP is disabled, AXIS ThinWizard can not function properly.) • Telnet • Auto-IP • DHCP • BOOTP • Remote Config (used by AXIS NetPilot) • SNMP Configuration (also used by AXIS ThinWizard. Note that if SNMP is disabled, AXIS ThinWizard can not function properly.
Configuration Possibilities Enabling the SNMPv3 Protocol Invoke the print server’s Web interface to enable the SNMPv3 protocol. 1. Select Admin | Network Settings | Detailed View | TCP/IP Network and ensure that HTTPS Enabled is set to yes to guarantee a secure configuration. Note: You must have a valid certificate loaded to be able to enable HTTPS. See “Enabling SSL via the Web Interface” on page 121. 2. Select Admin | Network Settings | Detailed View | SNMP and set SNMPv3 Enabled to yes. 3.
Configuration Possibilities Enabling IEEE 802.1X Port-based Authentication IEEE 802.1X port-based authentication enables the print server to access a network protected by 802.1X/EAPOL (Extensible Authentication Protocol Over Lan). There are many EAP methods available to do this. The one used here is EAP-TLS (EAP-Transport Layer Security).
Configuration Possibilities 1. Select EAPOL version (1 or 2), this must correspond to the EAPOL version in your network switch. 2. Enter the user identity, EAP identity, associated with your certificate. 3. Enter the Private key password for your user identity. 4. If Verify server certificate validity period is enabled, the print server will check that the certificate in the network switch is valid.
IP Addressing Section 12 IP Addressing IP Address and Subnet Mask The print server must be correctly configured with the following information to function properly: • • • an IP address a subnet mask a default gateway (or router) IP Address Each device on your network must have a unique IP address to operate correctly. An IP address identifies the address of the device to which data is being sent and the address of the destination network. IP addresses have the format n.n.n.
IP Addressing Type Two In larger (Class B) networks, where there are more devices, the IP address of ‘162.168.3.191’ is split into two parts but is structured differently: • Part one (‘162.168’) identifies the network on which the device resides. • Part two (‘.3.191’) identifies the device within the network. This type of IP address operates on a subnet mask of ‘255.255.0.0’. Default Gateway Examples 1.
IP Addressing Auto-IP Addressing Network devices use automatic IP addressing if they are configured to acquire an address using DHCP but are unable to contact a DHCP server. Automatic IP addressing is a scheme where devices allocate themselves an IP address at random from the industry standard subnet of 169.254.x.x (with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0). If two devices allocate themselves the same address, the conflict is detected and one of the devices allocates itself a new address.
IP Addressing Setting the IP Address using DHCP Follow the instructions below to download the IP address using DHCP: 1. Edit or create a scope in the DHCP manager of the DHCP daemon. The entries included in this scope should contain the following parameters: • range of IP addresses • subnet mask • default router IP address • WINS server IP address(es) or DDNS server IP address(es) • lease duration 2. Activate the scope. The print server automatically downloads the DHCP parameters.
The Test Button Section 13 The Test Button The test button is located on the print server casing and is used for: • Printing a test page to check the connection to the printer. • Printing a server report and parameter list. • Performing a Factory Default of the print server. If you want to change any of the parameters, use one of the methods described in Section 10 Management and Configuration, on page 88. Printing a Test Page Press the test button once to print a test page.
