AXIS 5800 Mobile Quick Start The instructions in this guide apply to AXIS 5800 Mobile print servers with firmware version 6.20 and above. This guide covers Windows 95, 98, NT & 2000 and UNIX/Linux over TCP/IP and Macintosh over Appletalk for cable networks. The instructions for wireless printing cover BLUETOOTHTM Wireless Technology. For installation instructions covering NetWare, OS/2 and Windows over NetBIOS/NetBEUI and IPX/SPX, see the AXIS 5800 Mobile User’s Manual, located on the AXIS Product CD v2.

Step 1 Connect the Hardware 1. Make sure that the printer is switched off and that the power supply is disconnected from the AXIS 5800 Mobile. 2. Locate the serial number, found on the underside label of the AXIS 5800 Mobile, and write it down. You can use this number to set the IP-address of the print server. Example: Ser. No. 00408C1802FB 3. Connect your printer(s) to the print server’s LPT1 or LPT2 port using a printer cable. Make sure the Bluetooth antenna is pointing towards the ceiling. 4.

Step 2 Check if the Print Server’s IP Address was Set Automatically If you are working in a network that uses dynamic IP address assignment (e.g. DHCP, BOOTP, RARP or Auto-IP), your print server will obtain an IP address automatically when you connect it to the network. Follow the instructions on this page to verify the IP address. ■ If you are working in a network that does not use dynamic IP address assignment, go to Step 3 to assign an IP address to the print server manually.

Step 3a Windows only: Set the IP Address Manually If you succeeded in logging in to your print server’s web pages in Step 2, your print server has already received a valid IP address. Skip to “ Configure a Printer ” (Step 4)! Use AXIS Print System version 1.20 (described here) or AXIS IP JumpStarter to set the IP address of print servers with firmware version 6.20 and above. AXIS Print System and AXIS IP JumpStarter are available on the AXIS Product CD and on www.axis.com.

Step 3c UNIX/Linux only: Set the IP Address Manually If you succeeded in logging in to your print server’s web pages in Step 2, your print server has already received a valid IP address. Skip to “ Configure a Printer ” (Step 4)! Set the IP address: 1. Type the following commands in the shell window: arp -s ping (You can replace the host name with the IP address) Example: arp -s PS5800 00:40:8c:10:00:86 ping ps5800 2.
