Nope, and at the risk of telling you how to suck eggs {:-).

1a) Search the mac address and see who it is assigned to,
1b) find out what other print servers they made
1c) treat as that file server of that period.

2a) I googled and came up with only one web page that mentioned it
http://www.satotech.com.au/products_networking_print-server.htm


Yes, I found that one too.



2b) looking at specs, try treating it as Axis 560 or
2c) Intel version thingy  Net??? (I'll undoubtedly think of
after sending ).


I also found a PAN3000 print server that looks very similar but not 
quite the same case from Xeno (or similar) that appears to have an ARM 
processor.




Axis boxen allowed FTP, telnet and web configuration, so you might try
telnet and HTTP as well. Axis had a "config" file that was text which
you ftp/get, edited, ftp/put, reboot.


I've tried that too and am getting the distinct impression that this 
beast is "lights on, but no one home".




3) Try connecting with a Novell Netware server.


Don't have one.



4) buy a Axis 3 way print server to replace it (or whatever one you like)


All of this is because the network adaptor on my Lexmark Optra printer 
has gone tits up and it's damned hard to identify which flash code to 
use from the Lexmark site.

[SLUG] Ritmo PN3000 3-port print server & tftp

[Howard Lowndes]

I have inherited one of these without the instruction leaflet.

I've manually arp'd an IP address for it, but even though the lights are 
on, I can't ping it, so it might be DOA or might have a manually set IP.


Does anyone have a copy of the instructions or know the name of the file 
to GET/PUT to configure the beast.
