Assigning an IP address
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.
Important: ❏ 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.
