98 AXIS 5500 / AXIS 5550 User’s Manual
Performing Resets Three types of reset commands allow you to perform soft resets, to
perform hard resets, and to reset the print server’s parameters to its
default settings.
Follow the instructions below to perform a soft reset using telnet:
1. Log in to the Axis Network Print Server by typing:
telnet <host name> or telnet <IP address> in a DOS window
(Windows) or in a UNIX shell.
2. Enter the user id and the password. (The default entries are
root and pass.)
3. Restart the print server’s protocols by typing:
softreset
Replace the command in step 3 above with hardreset or default to
perform the other two reset operations.
Using SNMP
You can use SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for remotely
monitoring and configuring of the Axis Network Print Server. All major
functions for print servers are supported.
General Information SNMP refers to a set of standards for network management, including a
protocol, a database structure specification, and a set of data objects. The
Axis Network Print Server SNMP implementation runs in the TCP/IP
environment.
The management is handled by NMS (Network Management System)
software running on a host on your network. The NMS software
communicates with network devices by the means of messages, which are
references to one or more objects.
A message can be a question or an instruction to a device, or an alarm
triggered by a specific event in a device. Objects are contained in data
bases called MIBs (Management Information Base), where MIB-II is a
standard database.
The Axis Network Print Server supports all relevant parts of MIB-II and
also includes a private enterprise MIB. Refer to The AXIS MIB, on page
99.
System Requirements
for SNMP
The following requirements must be fulfilled in order to make full use of
the Axis Network Print Server SNMP support:
• NMS software that allows you to install private enterprise MIBs
• A host, supporting FTP, on which to run the NMS software
Follow these steps to add the AXIS MIB to your NMS software:
