Connecting a printer to the Token Ring Network
Follow the instructions below to connect a printer to the network via
the AXIS 640/642 print server.
Caution! ❏ The AXIS 640/642 external power supply you are using must be
marked with the correct voltage! Refer to Section 2 Package
Contents, on page 13.
❏ DO NOT connect or disconnect the network cabling while AXIS
640/642 is powered on.
1. Make sure that the printer is switched off and that the AXIS
640/642 external power supply is disconnected.
2. Locate the serial number, found on the underside label of the
AXIS 640/642, and write it down. You will need this number
later during the network configuration.

parallel printer port, or using the optional printer cable extension
with the optional velcro ribbons.
4. Slide the Ring Speed switch towards 4 or 16 depending on the
ring speed of your network.

Twisted Pair (Media Type 1) or Unshielded Twisted Pair (Media
Type 3) cable.
6. Switch on the printer and connect the external power supply to
the AXIS 640/642. The power indicator lights. If the network
indicator starts to flash, the AXIS 640/642 is successfully
connected to the network.

of the methods detailed in the Installation Guide, on page 25.
