3. Connect the AXIS 1610 directly to the printer’s parallel printer port.
4.Connect your AXIS 1610 to the network using a twisted pair cable, category 5 or better.
5.Switch on the printer and connect the external power supply to the AXIS 1610. The power indicator lights up. When the network indicator starts to flash, the AXIS 1610 is successfully connected to the network.
To establish communication with the TCP/IP network and the internal web pages, an IP address must be assigned to your AXIS 1610.
If there is a DHCP server on your network, your AXIS 1610 will already have received an IP address.
If not, refer to the table below for an appropriate method to set the IP address of your AXIS 1610.
