AXIS 5900 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 printed earlier.

If you are not working in a DHCP network, you need to set the IP-address 

of the print server manually.

Follow these instructions in order to assign an IP address to your Axis 

Network Print Server. 

System Privileges

You need root privileges on your UNIX system, or administrator 

privileges on a Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 to:

•

set the IP address using RARP, BOOTP, DHCP

•

add an entry to the ARP table with the command 'arp -s'

Ethernet Address

You need to know the Ethernet address of your Axis Network Print Server 

in order to assign an IP address to it. The Ethernet address is based upon 

the serial number of your Axis Network Print Server. This means, for 

example, that an Axis Network Print Server 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 underside label of the print 

server.

IP Address

Unless you are downloading the IP address using DHCP or Auto-IP, 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 Network Print Server. Consult your network administrator before 
assigning an IP address to your Axis Network Print Server.
