AXIS 5500 / AXIS 5550 User’s Manual

•

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.

You can obtain an IP address for your AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550 by using 

one of the following methods, depending on your network operating 

environment.

See “IP Addressing” on page 125 for detailed instructions on IP address 

management.

Automatic IP Address

Assignment

• You need root privileges on your UNIX, Linux and Mac OS X system, or administrator priv-

ileges on a Windows NT server to set the IP address using RARP, BOOTP, DHCP and to add 
an entry to the ARP table with the command 'arp -s'.

• You need to know the Ethernet address of your AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550 in order to assign 

an IP address to it. The Ethernet address is based upon the serial number of your print 
server

. This means, for example, that an AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550 with the serial number of 

00408C100086, will have the corresponding Ethernet address of 00 40 8C 10 00 86. The 
serial number is located on the bottom label of the print server

• Unless you are assigning an IP address using DHCP or Auto-IP, you must obtain an 

unused IP address from your network administrator.

DO NOT use the IP addresses from the examples described here. Consult your network 

administrator before assigning an IP address to your print server.
