Mbit/s. Remove the jumper to select 4 Mbit/s.

5. Slide the AXIS 570/670 MIO board into place.

6. Tighten the two screws securing the rear panel.

7. Switch on the printer. The hardware installation is now complete.

Installing the AXIS 570/670 MIO

Network setup is most easily done using the AXIS NetPilot™.

However, if you do not have any computers running Windows,

NetWare or NetBIOS/NetBEUI you may also use the printer’s front panel for basic configuration. Both methods are fully described in the User’s Manual.

Proceed with the following instructions, as appropriate for your type of network. Refer to all relevant sections if you intend to use the AXIS 570/670 MIO in a multiprotocol environment.

Netware

By following the instructions detailed below, install your AXIS

570/670 MIO with the AXIS NetPilot™ installation Wizard, supplied on the AXIS Utilities disk. Please note that the AXIS

NetPilot™ software will require a Windows platform that uses either NetWare or NetBIOS/NetBEUI.

1. Load the AXIS NetPilot™ software by following the instructions on the label of the AXIS Utilities disk. After loading the software, double click on the NetPilot™ icon.

2. The AXIS NetPilot™ will scan the network for Axis Network

Print Servers that have not been installed and your AXIS

570/670 MIO will subsequently feature as a New Axis Unit.

Select your AXIS 570/670 MIO from the Contents of ‘New Axis

Units’ and then click the Install icon. The Installation Wizard will then guide you through the basic installation.

Should you require assistance with any of the operations click the

Help icon and follow the instructions provided in the Help window.

To set up print queues:

1. Select the Network Print Server to be set up by clicking its icon.

2. Choose Network from the Setup menu.

3. A new window will open that allows you to create print queues, connect the AXIS 570/670 MIO to print queues, and select either Print Server mode or Remote Printer mode for each printer.

To set up the advanced operating parameters:

1. Select the Network Print Server to be set up by clicking its icon.

2. Choose Properties from the Setup menu.

3. A set of Property Pages are opened which allow you to set up the way in which Print Server mode and Remote Printer mode operate. You can also enable the frame types to be used.

The setup is now completed and you can close the AXIS NetPilot™.

Open a Windows application, e.g. Microsoft Word and then select

Print... to ensure that your printer appears as the default printer.

Make a test printout to verify that the AXIS 570/670 MIO is functioning correctly.

UNIX

UNIX

Please note that you need UNIX root privileges, or administrator privileges on a Windows NT server for this configuration procedure.

1. Acquire an unused Internet Address from your Network

Administrator and choose a unique name for your AXIS 570/670

MIO.

2. Add your AXIS 570/670 MIO IP address and host name to your system host table by appending the following line to the

/etc/hosts

file: <internet address> <host name>

Example:

192.36.253.96

salesdept

3. Update your alias name databases (YP/NIS).

4. Perform the following commands to download the Internet

Address and verify correct Internet communication:

AXIS 570 MIO Ethernet Print Server: arp -s <host name> <node address> temp ping <host name>

Example for Ethernet: arp -s salesdept 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp ping salesdept

AXIS 670 MIO Token Ring Print Server: arp -s 802.5 <host name> <node address> temp ping <host name>

Example for Token Ring: arp -s 802.5 salesdept 00:02:31:48:00:61 temp ping salesdept

5. Log in to the AXIS 570/670 MIO and up-load the axinstall script:

Example: (user entries appear in bold)

> ftp salesdept

Name (salesdept:thomas): root

Password: pass (not visible) ftp> get axinstall ftp> bye

6. Execute the script: sh axinstall

↵

The directions displayed on the screen will then guide you through the installation of LPD, FTP or PROS on your UNIX system.

The UNIX Configuration is now completed.

Notes:

❏ The Node Address is based upon the serial number of the AXIS

570/670 MIO but may optionally be a Locally Administrated

Address.

❏ You may alternatively use the RARP, BOOT or DHCP command to set the Internet Address; refer to the User’s Manual

Section 7.

Macintosh

Apple

EtherTalk

There is no support for Apple TokenTalk in the AXIS 670 MIO.

Open the Chooser window by selecting Chooser in the Apple menu.

Follow these steps to choose a printer:

1. Click on the LaserWriter (or LaserWriter 8.0) Icon.

2. If your network has more than one zone, click the name of the default zone.

3. Click the name of the printer you want. The default printer name is shown as: AXIS<nnnnnn>_<port>, where <nnnnnn> is the last six digits of the serial number, and <port> is MIO.

4. For LaserWriter 8.0 printer driver only:

Click Setup..., and then Select Auto Setup. If the printer, just as the print server, supports bi-directional printing the installation will then be automatically performed. If not, you will be prompted to select a PPD file matching your printer, then click

OK.

5. Click the close box. This completes the configuration.

Repeat this procedure for each Macintosh using the AXIS 570 MIO.

Windows

Windows

Unless you wish to change the default name of your AXIS 570/670

MIO, the setup operation within a Windows environment may be performed solely with the AXIS Print Utility for Windows, supplied on the AXIS Utilities disk. Perform the installation using the AXIS

NetPilot™ should you wish to change the default name.

Follow the instructions on the AXIS Utilities disk label to install the

AXIS Print Utility for Windows on all workstations using peer-to-peer printing.

The AXIS 570/670 MIO setup for Windows comprises installing the AXIS 570/670 MIO printer ports as Windows printer ports, and connecting the ports to a Windows printer driver.

Peer-to-peer vs. Client-Server printing

All users requiring access to a network printer in peer-to-peer mode will need to install the AXIS Print Utility for Windows software onto their workstation. Client-server mode requires only one user to install the AXIS Print Utility for Windows software onto their workstation.

Client-server printing is suitable for larger networks and applications requiring central monitoring and priority management. The setup procedure for this print method is described below:

1. Install AXIS Print Utility for Windows onto the file server.

2. Set up your AXIS 570/670 MIO from the file server as described in the following sections, but check the Share box for your printer.

Your shared printers can now be used by all the Windows clients and you do not need to install the AXIS Print Utility on the clients.

Note:

❏ the server setup should only be made on a Windows for

Workgroups workstation.

The procedures in the following sections describe how to setup the

AXIS 570/670 MIO for peer-to-peer printing. This print method does not require a file server and is recommended for smaller networks.

Windows 3.1

Windows

Windows 3.1 requires that network support such as LAN Server or

LAN Manager Workstation software is installed in order to redirect a local printer port to a network device. If this is the case, proceed as described under Windows for Workgroups below.
