Print Server Installation
16 AXIS 1650 User’s Manual
Notes • You need to know the Ethernet address of your AXIS 1650 to perform
the installation. The Ethernet address is based on the serial number of
your AXIS 1650. For example, an AXIS 1650 with the serial number of
00408C181CF0, will have the corresponding Ethernet address of 00 40
8C 18 1C F0. The serial number is located on a label on the backside of
the print server.
• DO NOT use the IP addresses shown in the following examples when
installing the AXIS 1650.
• ARP/Ping operates on single network segments only, i.e. it cannot be
used over routers.
• The default host name of the print server is ’AXIS’ followed by the last 6
digits in the serial number. e.g. AXIS181636. The host name is changed
in the Print server name field in Admin | General Settings.
• The host name limitations conclude that if you want to register the
same host name at a WINS server and a DDNS server, the host name
should be no longer than 15 characters and it should only contain the
characters ‘A-Z’, ‘a-z’, ’0-9’ and ‘-’.
• Refer to your system manuals or to your network administrator for
instructions on how host name resolutions are performed on your
system.
• At least one WINS server IP address must be included in the DHCP
scope if you are using WINS. Immediately after the IP address has been
received, the AXIS 1650 registers its host name and IP address on the
WINS server.
• If the host name has not been mapped to the IP address, you can still
perform the following instructions to download the IP address. In this
case, simply replace the host name entry with the IP address wherever
required.
