Section 1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the AXIS 5900. This product has been
developed to connect your printers anywhere in your network, allowing
all network users access to shared printer resources.
The AXIS 5900 can be installed either as an IEEE 802.11b wireless print
server or as an Ethernet attached print server.
About this Manual
This manual is applicable for the AXIS 5900 with firmware version 7.00
or higher, providing introductory information as well as detailed
instructions on how to set up and manage the print server in various
network environments. It is intended for everyone involved in installing
and managing the print server. To fully benefit from this manual, you
should be familiar with basic networking principles.
These instructions are based on the settings in a new and unconfigured
