Assigning TCP/IP Information
Overview
The TCP/IP protocol requires that each device on the network have it's own
unique IP address. Use the following information to learn about IP address
configuration.
By default Brother Print / Fax servers have a sample IP address of 192.0.0.192,
however, you can easily change this IP address number to match with the IP
address details of your network. This can be done in any of the following ways:
1. MFC front panel setting.
2. BRAdmin application (for Windows
®
95/98/Me/NT
®
4.0/2000 using the
IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocol).
3. DHCP, Reverse ARP (rarp) or BOOTP.
4. The ARP command.
5. Brother BRCONFIG NetWare utility (A Novell Network is necessary).
Other ways to CHANGE the IP address once it is already set:
1. MFC front panel
2. TELNET
3. HTTP (Web browser)
4. Other SNMP based management utility
These configuration methods are described in the following paragraphs.
The IP address you assign to the Print / Fax server must be on the same logical
network as your host computers, if it is not, you must properly configure the
subnet mask and the router (gateway).
