Configuring an IP address for the Print Server You must now set an IP address into the Brother Print Server. There are several ways of doing this: If your printer has an LCD panel you can use the front panel buttons to change the IP address, subnet mask and gateway addresses. Refer to Quick Setup Guide for instructions on how to do this. You can also use the BRadmin32 Windows utility to change the IP address. The print server also understand automatic IP address allocation methods such as DHCP, BOOTP and RARP. Changing the IP Address using the BRAdmin32 application Start the BRAdmin32 utility (from Windows 95/98 or NT4.0) The BRAdmin32 utility can use the IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols to communicate with the Brother Print Server. As the default IP address of Brother print servers is 192.0.0.192, the print server will probably be incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme on your network. If you are not using DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you will probably want to change the IP address. There are two ways that you can do this from within BRAdmin32. 1) Use the IPX/SPX protocol, 2) use the TCP/IP protocol and let BRAdmin32 find the Brother Print Server as an un-configured device. 2-3
