Control panel setup IP Address 5 This field displays the current IP address of the machine. If you have chosen a Boot Method of Static, enter the IP address that you wish to assign to the machine (check with your network administrator for the IP address to use). If you have chosen a method other than Static, the machine will attempt to determine its IP address using the DHCP or BOOTP protocols. The default IP address of your machine will probably be incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme of your network. We recommend that you contact your network administrator for an IP address for the network the unit will be connected on. Subnet Mask 5 This field displays the current subnet mask used by the machine. If you are not using DHCP or BOOTP to obtain the subnet mask, enter the desired subnet mask. Check with your network administrator for the subnet mask to use. 5 Gateway 5 This field displays the current gateway or router address used by the machine. If you are not using DHCP or BOOTP to obtain the gateway or router address, enter the address you wish to assign. If you do not have a gateway or router, leave this field blank. Check with your network administrator if you are unsure. IP Boot Tries 5 This field displays how many times the machine attempts to scan the network to obtain the IP address through the Boot Method you have set. (See Boot Method on page 31). APIPA 5 The setting of On will cause the print server to automatically allocate a Link-Local IP address in the range (169.254.1.0 - 169.254.254.255) when the print server cannot obtain an IP address through the Boot Method you have set. (See Boot Method on page 31.) Choosing Off means the IP address does not change, when the print server cannot obtain an IP address through the Boot Method you have set. IPv6 5 This machine is compatible with IPv6, the next generation Internet protocol. If you want to use the IPv6 protocol, choose On. The default setting for IPv6 is Off. For more information on the IPv6 protocol, visit http://solutions.brother.com/. Note • If you set IPv6 to On, turn off the power switch and then turn it back on to enable this protocol. • After you choose IPv6 On, this setting will be applied to both the wired and wireless LAN interface. 32

IP Address
5
This field displays the current IP address of the machine. If you have chosen a
Boot Method
of
Static
,
enter the IP address that you wish to assign to the machine (check with your network administrator for the IP
address to use). If you have chosen a method other than
Static
, the machine will attempt to determine its
IP address using the DHCP or BOOTP protocols. The default IP address of your machine will probably be
incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme of your network. We recommend that you contact your
network administrator for an IP address for the network the unit will be connected on.
Subnet Mask
5
This field displays the current subnet mask used by the machine. If you are not using DHCP or BOOTP to
obtain the subnet mask, enter the desired subnet mask. Check with your network administrator for the subnet
mask to use.
Gateway
5
This field displays the current gateway or router address used by the machine. If you are not using DHCP or
BOOTP to obtain the gateway or router address, enter the address you wish to assign. If you do not have a
gateway or router, leave this field blank. Check with your network administrator if you are unsure.
IP Boot Tries
5
This field displays how many times the machine attempts to scan the network to obtain the IP address through
the Boot Method you have set. (See
Boot Method
on page 31).
APIPA
5
The setting of
On
will cause the print server to automatically allocate a Link-Local IP address in the range
(169.254.1.0 - 169.254.254.255) when the print server cannot obtain an IP address through the Boot Method
you have set. (See
Boot Method
on page 31.) Choosing
Off
means the IP address does not change, when
the print server cannot obtain an IP address through the Boot Method you have set.
IPv6
5
This machine is compatible with IPv6, the next generation Internet protocol. If you want to use the IPv6
protocol, choose
On
. The default setting for IPv6 is
Off
. For more information on the IPv6 protocol, visit
.
Note
If you set IPv6 to
On
, turn off the power switch and then turn it back on to enable this protocol.
After you choose IPv6
On
, this setting will be applied to both the wired and wireless LAN interface.
