NEW SOFTWARE RELEASE ==================== Products involved: Axis Officebasic Axis 540+ Release date: Mar 31, 2003 Release type: Production Release Software version: 6.16 File size: Axis Officebasic 992 408 bytes Axis 540+ 1 181 666 bytes Last preceding release: 6.15.1 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact Information ==================== Please contact Axis Communications for product information, updates and support at http://www.axis.com Management Tool =============== AXIS ThinWizard is a web-based management tool that provides a network overview with efficient drill-down possibilities for printing management and troubleshooting. It can set IP addresses, discover and group print servers, install new firmware and configure multiple Axis products concurrently. AXIS ThinWizard is available for free at http://www.axis.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Limitations in version 6.16 =========================== Axis OfficeBasic does not support NetWare nor AppleTalk. The Etrax 100 specific correction does not apply to Axis 540+. No reverse data will be obtained when printing on the APS ports. Added features in version 6.16 ================================ In Netware networks, using Q-mode over IPX, support for walk-the-tree is added. Now the Print Server resolves the name of the que-volume even if the volume resides on a file server without any replica in the NDS tree. Corrected problems in version 6.16 ================================== The problem of using arp/ping to set a static ip-address when dhcp is enabled is resolved. The dhcp-option domain-name is corrected, the domain name parameter is updated. Etrax 100 specific correction: The Bitronics negotiation routines are improved. Reverse data reading is improved for several printer models, e.g. Ricoh AP 2600N and Ricoh 1018. Printer connectivity is improved, situations which earlier resulted in connection loss is now resolved, e.g. problems where it seems that the printer is stuck in sleep mode, is now resolved without the need to restarting the print server. The "Processing Job"-error is corrected. On certain printers, this problem occured as intermittent messages showing Processing Job on the printer display. This error might also interrupt printing. Known problems in version 6.16 ============================== HP WebJetadmin is neither tested nor supported with this release. AXIS ThinWizard is recommended instead. Succesful paralell-port "flash-loading" might require two, or more attempts in some cases. Support for Checksums in Netware is not implemented. Reverse data from the APS ports is disabled. Users are recommended to use the native print monitor on Win2000/XP.
