Convenient Web-based Management
AXIS ThinWizard TM
AXIS ThinWizard TM is a powerful web-based management
tool for central administration of Axis print servers and all
other Axis products.
What can AXIS ThinWizard offer?
In a TCP/IP network, AXIS ThinWizard helps the
administrator find, monitor and configure all print servers
remotely via a standard web browser. This ensures more
efficient use of time and network resources.
AXIS ThinWizard runs on Windows 95/98, NT and
UNIX/Linux. It provides the following services:
■ Automatic discovery of Axis products on IP networks
■ Basic network installation, e.g. TCP/IP settings
■ Flexible grouping of Axis products for viewing and
managing several servers as an entity
■ Printer status monitoring, e.g. out of paper
■ Seamless remote management
Upgrade Wizard
Via the upgrade Wizard, the Axis servers automatically
notify the administrator when new firmware becomes
available from Axis. Firmware upgrades are simple. Using
a web browser, administrators can choose firmware
upgrades for one or several servers at a time.
Network Groups
By organizing the network into network groups, your print
servers can be monitored more efficiently. A network
group is defined by the specific IP address ranges and the
specific server types, e.g. print servers, storage servers.
that are included. The administrator can create as many
network groups as needed.
AXIS ThinWizard can be downloaded free of charge from the
Axis web site at www.axis.com
AXIS ThinWizard, Release 2.00
The latest software version of AXIS ThinWizard includes
additional features and benefits:
Configuration Wizard
One or more parameters of several Axis servers can be
changed simultaneously. Also the configuration can be
copied from one server to one or multiple servers.
Management of Non-Axis Print Servers
AXIS ThinWizard will also find print servers from Hewlett-
Packard, Intel and Lexmark. With a simple mouse click, the
administrator can manage these print servers via their
internal web pages. Thus administrators with mixed
product networks can benefit from consistent management
and administration by using Axis management software.
IP Address Assignment
AXIS ThinWizard will discover non-configured print servers
and allow the administrator to assign it an IP address.
(Print server requires firmware version 6.20 or higher.)
Printer-friendly View
Every print server on the network can be listed with a
descriptive name and physical location.
