Brother print servers appear to the network as a UNIX® host computer with a unique IP address running the lpd (line printer daemon) protocol.

The Remote Queue name is the service name that the printer will use when processing the data. Generally we recommend that you use the name "BINARY_P1", however, if you are planning to send text documents that do not have a carriage return and a line feed, then use "TEXT_P1". 6 Select the appropriate - Brother International HL-6050DW | Network Users Manual - English - Page 21

one of several automated mechanisms for IP address allocation. If you have DHCP Server in your network (typically a Unix®/Linux, Windows NT®4.0, Windows® 2000 or Novell® NetWare® network) the print server will automatically obtains its IP address from DHCP server and register its name with any RFC - Brother International HL-6050DW | Network Users Manual - English - Page 100
Using ARP to Configure the Print Server IP Address If you are unable to use the BRAdmin application or the printer's control panel and your network does not use a DHCP server, you can also use the ARP command. The ARP command is available on Windows® systems that have TCP/IP installed - Brother International HL-6050DW | Network Users Manual - English - Page 101
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 the printer's control panel or factory reset the print server (which will then allow you to use the ARP command again). To configure the print server - Brother International HL-6050DW | Network Users Manual - English - Page 102
Using RARP to Configure the IP Address The Brother print server's IP address can be configured using the UNIX®-based systems, type: ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep rarpd The Brother print server will get the IP address from the rarp daemon when the printer is powered on.

Then edit the BOOTP configuration file (usually /etc/bootptab) and enter the name, network type (1 for Ethernet), Ethernet address and the IP address, subnet mask and gateway of the print server. Unfortunately, the exact format for doing this is not standardized, so you will need - Brother International HL-6050DW | Network Users Manual - English - Page 104

If you have a gateway (router), enter its address with the command SET IP ROUTER routeraddress, where routeraddress is the desired IP address of the gateway you wish to assign to the print server. For example: Local> SET IP ROUTER - Brother International HL-6050DW | Network Users Manual - English - Page 106
then get the Local> prompt. Type SET IP ADDRESS ipaddress, where ipaddress is the desired IP address you wish to assign to the print server (check with your network manager for the IP address to use).
