Setup for NetWare

Before you begin:

The NPS 530/532 can run in either Print Server Mode, Remote Printer Mode or both simultaneously. The basic configuration is done using the PCONSOLE software supplied from Novell, and if you choose a setup other than the automatic print server mode, also with AXCFG supplied with the NPS 530/532.

The overview on the following pages explains the advantages and limitations of each mode. Select the mode that best fits your needs, then carry out the configuration as described later in this section.

Make sure that the NPS 530/532 is powered on and attached to the network.

You will need root privileges on the system.

Have the serial number found on the back of the NPS 530/532 available.

Any network configuration should always involve the network manager.

If you use NetWare 4.0 or later, you must set up your file server for bindery emulation by specifying the Bindery Context parameter. See your Novell documentation for details.

Before configuring your NetWare system, you may want to configure the NPS 530/532 (e.g. logical printer definitions). This is done using the AXCFG software on the disk supplied with the NPS 530/532.

On the disk you will find a text file called read.me, containing installation instructions for AXCFG in the Novell environment.

NPS 532, NPS 530 specifications

Axis Communications, known for its innovative network video solutions, has recently introduced its new line of network power supplies, the NPS 530 and NPS 532. These robust devices are designed to meet the increasing power demands of network cameras, ensuring reliable and efficient operation in various surveillance applications.

The Axis NPS 530 and NPS 532 power supplies are engineered for optimal performance in network video installations. One of their main features is their high power output. The NPS 530 provides up to 60 W, while the NPS 532 delivers up to 120 W of power, making them suitable for powering multiple network devices simultaneously. This high power capability allows for the use of more advanced cameras equipped with enhanced features, such as pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) functionality, which can require significantly more power.

Both models are equipped with Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, which simplifies installation and reduces the need for additional wiring. PoE enables a single cable to provide both data connection and electrical power to devices, making the installation process more efficient and cost-effective. The NPS 530 and NPS 532 support the IEEE 802.3at and 802.3af PoE standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of network devices.

Another key characteristic of these power supplies is their resilience and reliability. The rugged design of the NPS series ensures durability in various environmental conditions, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. They are constructed with high-quality components that enhance their longevity, reducing the total cost of ownership over time.

The NPS 530 and NPS 532 also feature advanced thermal management systems. These systems help maintain optimal operating temperatures, preventing overheating during prolonged usage. Additionally, both models include LED indicators that provide real-time status updates, allowing users to monitor the operational state at a glance.

In conclusion, the Axis NPS 530 and NPS 532 power supplies stand out in the market for their high performance, advanced PoE technology, and robust design. They offer an ideal solution for modern surveillance needs, ensuring security professionals can deploy powerful network cameras with confidence. With these innovations, Axis Communications continues to set the standard in reliable video surveillance technology.
