I have an Axis 540+ print server which will no longer talk to the network.
Axis tech support said that it needed to be reflashed, or I could send it in
with a lot of money and they'd see if maybe they could fix it. I'll replace
it before I do that!!

My net hub doesn't see any activity from the 540+ and it doesn't respond to
pings, so the usual FTP approach to flash it won't work.

I understand that this unit can be flashed via the parallel port using a
"special cable". Does anyone know about this? How is the cable pinned?
What's the procedure? I've got the proper binaries.

And, yes, I've tried to reset to factory default using the power off, hold
test button, power on, etc., drill. No joy.

TIA!!
