CHAPTER 10 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION Using ARP to Configure the Print Server IP Address If you are unable to use the Bradmin application, printer front panel and your network does not use a DHCP server, you can also use the ARP command. ARP is the simplest method of configuring the print server IP address. The ARP command is available on Windows systems that have TCP/IP installed as well as Unix systems. To use arp enter the following command the command prompt: arp -s ipaddress ethernetaddress Where ethernetaddress is the Ethernet address (MAC address) of the print server and ipaddress is the IP address of the print server. For example: Windows Systems Windows Systems require the colon ":" character in-between each digit of the Ethernet address. arp -s 192.189.207.2 00:80:77:31:01:07 Unix Systems Typically, Unix systems require the hash "-" character in-between each digit of the Ethernet address. arp -s 192.189.207.2 00-80-77-31-01-07 You must be on the same Ethernet segment (that is, there cannot be a router between the print server and operating system) to use the arp -s command. If there is a router, you may use BOOTP or other methods described in this chapter to enter the IP address. If your Administrator has configured the system to deliver IP addresses using BOOTP, DHCP or RARP your Brother Print Server can receive an IP address from any one of these IP address allocation systems, in which case, you will not need to use the ARP command. The ARP command only works once. For security reasons, once you have successfully configured the IP address of a Brother Print Server using the ARP command, you cannot use the ARP command again to change the address. The print server will ignore any attempts to do this. If you wish to change the IP address again, use a Web Browser, TELNET (using the SET IP ADDRESS command) the printer front panel (if you have an LCD panel) or factory reset the print server (which will then allow you to use the ARP command again). To configure the print server and to verify the connection, enter the following command ping ipaddress where the ipaddress is the IP address of the print server. For example, ping 192.189.207.2. 10-6

CHAPTER 10 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION

Using ARP to Configure the Print Server
IP Address
If you are unable to use the Bradmin application, printer front panel and your
network does not use a DHCP server, you can also use the ARP command. ARP is
the simplest method of configuring the print server IP address. The ARP command is
available on Windows systems that have TCP/IP installed as well as Unix systems.
To use arp enter the following command the command prompt:
arp -s ipaddress ethernetaddress
Where ethernetaddress is the Ethernet address (MAC address) of the print server and
ipaddress is the IP address of the print server. For example:
Windows Systems
Windows Systems require the colon ":" character in-between each digit of the
Ethernet address.
arp -s 192.189.207.2 00:80:77:31:01:07
Unix Systems
Typically, Unix systems require the hash "-" character in-between each digit of the
Ethernet address.
arp -s 192.189.207.2 00-80-77-31-01-07
You must be on the same Ethernet segment (that is, there cannot be a router between
the print server and operating system) to use the arp -s command.
If there is a router, you may use BOOTP or other methods described in this chapter
to enter the IP address.
If your Administrator has configured the system to deliver IP addresses using
BOOTP, DHCP or RARP your Brother Print Server can receive an IP address from
any one of these IP address allocation systems, in which case, you will not need to
use the ARP command. The ARP command only works once. For security reasons,
once you have successfully configured the IP address of a Brother Print Server using
the ARP command, you cannot use the ARP command again to change the address.
The print server will ignore any attempts to do this. If you wish to change the IP
address again, use a Web Browser, TELNET (using the SET IP ADDRESS
command) the printer front panel (if you have an LCD panel) or factory reset the
print server (which will then allow you to use the ARP command again).
To configure the print server and to verify the connection, enter the following
command ping ipaddress where the ipaddress is the IP address of the print server.
For example, ping 192.189.207.2.
