Automatic IP Address Assignment using AXIS AddPrinter
AXIS AddPrinter Wizard is an easy-to-use Windows application that allows you to find print servers in your
network and assign an IP address to them. See Installing printers using AXIS AddPrinter, on page 18.
Manual IP address assignment
To establish communication with the TCP/IP network, an IP Address must be assigned to your AXIS 5570e. Choose
the appropriate method according to your network:
• ARP/Ping - use this method to set the IP address for each new print server individually.
This method cannot be used over routers.
Refer to Setting the IP address manually using ARP/Ping, on page 11.
• AXIS ThinWizard software is the primary recommended tool for large organizations.
It can set IP addresses, discover and group print servers, install new firmware and
configure multiple Axis products concurrently.
Refer to Print Server Management using AXIS ThinWizard, on page 33
Note:
If you are using host names, you can map a unique host name to the IP address. Refer to your system man-
uals for instructions on how this is performed on your system.
Setting the IP address manually using ARP/Ping
Refer to the appropriate section below to assign an IP address to your AXIS 5570e using arp/ping:
Windows
Open a Command Prompt and enter the following syntax:
Syntax
1. arp -s <Internet address> <Ethernet address>
2.
ping <Internet address>
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. You are now ready to print.
UNIX, Mac OS X
Open a Terminal and enter the following syntax:
Syntax
1.
arp -s <Internet address> <Ethernet address>
2.
ping <Internet address>
The host will return psname is alive, or a similar message. This indicates that the address has been set and that
communication is established. You are now ready to print.
Important!
You must define the Default Router and Subnet Mask when you set a static IP address. Log in to the print
server's Web pages and select Admin | Network Settings | Detailed View | TCP/IP | Default Router and
Subnet Mask. DHCP, Auto-IP, BOOTP and RARP must first be set to No.
Example
arp -s 192.168.3.191 00-40-8c-18-16-36
ping 192.168.3.191
Example
arp -s 192.168.3.191.00:40:8c:18:16:36
ping 192.168.3.191
