Setting the IP address
using Auto-IP
Auto-IP sets the IP-address automatically in the absence of a
DHCP server. If you have a DHCP server running on your
network, the AXIS 5900 will receive an IP address immediately
after you have connected it to the network. In the absence of a
DHCP server, your AXIS 5900 print server will automatically be
assigned an IP-address through integrated Auto-IP. The Auto-IP
address structure is: 169.254.xxx.xxx.
The Auto-IP function will only work when DHCP is enabled in
your Axis print server. This function is enabled automatically
upon installation of a brand new print server.
The easiest way to make sure DHCP and Auto-IP are enabled is
to reset your print server (Factory Default). See Test Button, on
page 130 for instruction on how to do this.
If you perform a factory default on the AXIS 5900 and you do
not have a DHCP server on your network, Auto-IP will
automatically set the IP address of the print server.
Set the IP address
using
AXIS Print System
AXIS Print System is client software used to set the IP address of
your Axis print server and to configure network printers.
