Axis Communications Network Print Servers, AXIS 5500, AXIS 5550 manual Product Overview

Product Overview

Flexibility The print server supports printing in all major computer systems and environments, including five different print methods in the TCP/IP environment. AXIS 5550 allows you to print on two printers simultaneously.

The integrated IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) function allows for printing from LAN to LAN via a WAN, such as the Internet.

Speed The AXIS ETRAX 100 LX chip has been specifically designed for LAN products.

Easy to Install The print server installs, operates and is managed in a reliable and easy fashion.

Security You can assign a password to restrict login and printer access. It is also possible to disable protocols and to configure a secure mode (https).

Monitoring The internal print server Web pages and AXIS ThinWizard (3.0 and up) allow you to continuously monitor printer status. The Web pages are used to monitor single Axis units while AXIS ThinWizard can be used to monitor multiple Axis units.

Through e-mail notification, the printer administrator can be notified by e-mail whenever an event that requires human intervention occurs in a printer. The e-mail contains a short and concise description of the event.

Future Proof The firmware stored in the print server Flash memory can be upgraded over the network. This allows you to quickly update and enhance its operational features when new print server software becomes available.

NetWare Packet The print server supports NetWare Packet Signature Level 1, 2, 3, which Signature protects servers and clients using the NetWare Core Protocol services. NCP

packet signature prevents packet forgery by requiring the server and the client to sign each NCP packet. See your Novell NetWare documentation for detailed information.
