Appendix A Enabling Unicast Network
Communication
AXIS CAPT Print Monitor uses broadcast communication, so that status information from the
print server can be shared between several users without elevating network traffic.
Broadcast communication is used by default in the print server.
In some networks where broadcast communication isn’t preferred, unicast communication can
be used, which will also increase the network load.
To enable unicast communication, some settings must be configured in the AXIS 1650 and in
the AXIS Print Monitor during the software installation.
Follow these steps to enable unicast network communication:
1. Open a command prompt and change to a directory where you can store the configuration
file by typing C:/<any directory> and press Enter.
2. Log in to the AXIS 1650 with the command:
ftp <IP address>
where <IP address> is the IP address of your AXIS 1650.
3. You will be prompted for a user id:
default user id = root (if the default password has been changed then it must also be entered)
4. To access the configuration file, type: get config
5. Next go to the C: directory on your computer and locate the file named config.
IMPORTANT! All network configuration must be performed by the network administrator!
AXIS 1610 and AXIS 1611 do not support the Unicast mode.
