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. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Added features in version 6.33 ============================== In Netware networks, using Q-mode over IPX, support for walk-the-tree is added. Now the Print Server resolves the name of the queue-volume even if the volume resides on a file server without any replica in the NDS tree. Corrected problems in version 6.33 ================================== A static IP-address can now be set using arp/ping also when DHCP is enabled. The DHCP-option domain-name is corrected, the domain name parameter is updated. 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 serial port driver, for multiport print servers, is updated in order to resolve problems with stability and performance, specifically reading data from the serial port. The ERROR: 30010 problem is resolved, now the Print Server interprets this as "STATUS BUFFER OVERFLOW". 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 6.33 ============================== 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.
