Automatic IP Address Assignment using DHCP
If you are working in a network with automatic IP address assignment, your print server will obtain an IP address
automatically when you connect it to the network. Follow the instructions on this page to verify the IP address:
1. Open a Web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Netscape Communicator).
2. In the Location/Address field, enter the print server's IP address, found on the test page (see Connecting the
Hardware) and press Enter.
If the Network Print Server Web page appears in your Web browser, the IP address was set automatically
3.
when you connected the AXIS 5570e to your network.
4. If the Network Print Server Web page does not appear, you need to set the print server's IP address manually
using one of the methods described in Manual IP address assignment.
Notes:
• Use a Web browser with JavaScript support and Java enabled.
• The AXIS 5570e supports WINS (Windows Internet Name Service), which is recommended when setting
the IP address using DHCP in Windows environments.
• If you are working in a WINS/ DDNS network, you can access the print server's Web pages using its
default host name: In the Location/Address field, enter the default print server name AXISxxxxxx
(xxxxxx are the last six digits of the serial number, found on the print server's underside label).
Example: If the serial number is 00 40 8c 18 1c f0, type AXIS181cf0 and press Enter.
• DHCP, RARP and BOOTP can be used to set the IP address in UNIX, see the AXIS 5570e User's Manual for
details.
• See the AXIS 5570e User's Manual for installation instructions in a NetBIOS/NetBEUI environment. The
User's Manual is available on www.axis.com.
