Axis Communications AXIS 5500, AXIS 5550 manual Network Speed, NetWare Packet Signature Levels

Configuration Possibilities

Network Speed

With the Network Speed parameter you can manually specify the speed at which you will send and receive network packages. You can change the Network Speed setting to correspond to the type of network you are using (10 or 100 Mbit).

To change the Network Speed in an Ethernet network, log in to the print server’s internal Web pages and click Admin General Settings => Change.

You have the options listed here:

Network Speed	Comment
AUTO_SENSE	This is the default value where the print server detects which speed is op-
	timal for each network package you transfer.
10_HALF__DX	10 Half Duplex
10_FULL_DX	10 Full Duplex
100_HALF_DX	100	Half Duplex
100_FULL_DX	100	Full Duplex

The default Network Speed value is AUTO_SENSE, which is the correct option for the majority of users.

If you choose a faulty Network Speed option for your network, you may loose contact with the print server.

To reset the Network Speed parameter to AUTO_SENSE, you will have to reboot the print server (disconnect and then re-connect the external power supply).

NetWare Packet Signature Levels

NetWare Packet Signatures protect servers and clients using the NCP (NetWare Core Protocol) services and prevent packet forgery by requiring the server and the client to sign each NCP packet.

There are two levels of NCP Packet Signature: the Server Level and the

AXIS Print Server Level (also know as the Workstation Level).

Server Levels Server packet signature levels are assigned by a new SET parameter: SET NCP PACKET SIGNATURE OPTION = n

Key to Server Levels	Explanation
0	Server does not sign packets (regardless of the print server
	level)
1 (default)	Server signs packets only if the print server requests it (print
	server level is 2 or higher)
2	Server signs packets if the print server is capable of signing
	(print server level is 1 or higher)
3	Server signs packets and requires the print server to sign
	packets (or logging in will fail)
