Using FTP for Print Server Management

Having assigned an IP address to your Axis Network Print Server, as described in “Assigning an IP Address to the Print Server” on page 16, you can change the Axis Network Print Server parameter settings using the File Transport Protocol (FTP).

Ensure that FTP Enabled is set to yes. To check this parameter, browse to the print server and select Admin Network Settings Detailed View TCP/IP Network.

Editing the config file Follow the instructions below to edit the config file using FTP:

1. Log in to the Axis Network Print Server by typing:

ftp <host name>

- or -

ftp <IP address>

in a Command window (Windows and OS/2) or in a Mac/UNIX/Linux Terminal.

2.Enter the user id and the password. (The default entries are root and pass.)

3.Download the config file to your host by typing:

get config

4.Edit the file using your preferred text editor.

5.Save the config file to the Axis Network Print Server by typing:

put config CONFIG

Notes:

•It is important that the destination file is specified in capital letters. Otherwise the edits are temporary and will be lost once the Axis Network Print Server has been powered down.

•To edit the config file from a Macintosh you will need FTP support such as MacTCP, Fetch or Anarchie. The procedure for editing the file is the same as described above.

The example on the next page shows how to upload and download the config file using FTP from a DOS window.
