Configuring DLC on Other Systems
To use DLC on other network systems, you will generally need
vendor-supplied software. Typically such software will support the
Brother Print/Fax servers. Follow the vendor's instructions to install
the DLC protocol on your system.
Once the protocol is installed, create a network port in the same way
that you did for Windows NT
®
4.0 in the previous sections. The MAC
address (Ethernet address) of the Print/Fax server should
automatically appear during the configuration process.
You can find the node name and MAC address by printing
out the printer configuration page. For information on how to
print the configuration page on your print server, see
Resetting the Print/Fax Sever back to factory settings (Test
Switch) on page 13-4.
