AXIS 540/640

User’s Manual

Section 3: Basic Installation

 

31

 

To establish communication with the TCP/IP network, enabling 
TCP/IP printing and Web browser management, an IP address must 
be assigned to your AXIS 540/640.

Before you start

System privileges

You need root privileges on your UNIX system, or administrator 
privileges on a Windows NT server to set the IP address using RARP, 
BOOTP or DHCP.

Ethernet address

You need to know the Ethernet address of your AXIS 540+/542+ to 
perform the installation. The Ethernet address is based upon the serial 
number of your AXIS 540+/542+. This means, for example, that an 
AXIS 540+/542+ 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 unit.

Node address

In Token Ring networks the node address is either the serial number 
found on the underside label of the AXIS 640/642 or a Locally 
Administrated Address

IP address

Unless you are downloading the IP address using DHCP, you must 
obtain an unused IP address from your network administrator.

❏ DO NOT use the IP addresses used in the following examples 

when installing your AXIS 540/640. Always consult your network 
administrator before assigning an IP address to your AXIS 
540/640.
