AXIS 5500 / AXIS 5550 User’s Manual

Three types of reset commands allow you to perform soft resets, to 

perform hard resets, and to reset the print server’s parameters to its 

default settings.

Follow the instructions below to perform a soft reset using telnet: 

1. Log in to the Axis Network Print Server by typing: 

telnet <host name>

 

or 

telnet <IP address> 

in a DOS window 

(Windows) or in a UNIX shell.

2. Enter the user id and the password. (The default entries are 

root

 and 

pass

.)

3. Restart the print server’s protocols by typing: 

softreset

Replace the command in step 3 above with 

hardreset

 or 

default

 to 

perform the other two reset operations.

You can use SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for remotely 

monitoring and configuring of the Axis Network Print Server. All major 

functions for print servers are supported.

SNMP refers to a set of standards for network management, including a 

protocol, a database structure specification, and a set of data objects. The 

Axis Network Print Server SNMP implementation runs in the TCP/IP 

environment.

The management is handled by NMS (Network Management System) 

software running on a host on your network. The NMS software 

communicates with network devices by the means of messages, which are 

references to one or more objects. 

A message can be a question or an instruction to a device, or an alarm 

triggered by a specific event in a device. Objects are contained in data 

bases called MIBs (Management Information Base), where MIB-II is a 

standard database.

The Axis Network Print Server supports all relevant parts of MIB-II and 

also includes a private enterprise MIB. Refer to The AXIS MIB,  on page 

The following requirements must be fulfilled in order to make full use of 

the Axis Network Print Server SNMP support:

•

NMS software that allows you to install private enterprise MIBs

•

A host, supporting FTP, on which to run the NMS software

Follow these steps to add the AXIS MIB to your NMS software:
