*Tcpmon.ini

If you have an old version of Windows (prior to XP Service Pack 2), the USB port will not appear as an option in the Windows Device Port list (see Step 5 above). If so, install Axis tcpmon Upgrade Utility, a script that aids Windows in recognizing the USB port. This script upgrades the tcpmon.ini file (in the system32 directory) by adding new Axis print server ports in the Windows Available Ports list. The old tcpmon.ini file will be saved as tcpmon.ini_bak in the same directory, no other information will be affected. You have to be logged in as an Administrator to use this program. The program is available here: ftp.axis.com/pub_soft/prt_srv/utility/tcpmon
