Use the following information to learn about IP address configuration. By default Brother print 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. Printer control panel setting (If your printer has an LCD panel) 2.

Brother BRCONFIG NetWare utility (A Novell Network is necessary) Other ways to CHANGE the IP address once it is already set: 1. Printer control 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 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). 12-1

CHAPTER TWELVE
TCP/IP Configuration
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 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.
Printer control panel setting (If your printer has an LCD panel)
2.
BRAdmin application (for Windows 95/98/Me/NT 4.0/2000/XP using
the IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocol)
3.
DHCP, Reverse ARP (rarp) or BOOTP
4.
The ARP command.
5.
DEC NCP, NCL, or ccr utilities
6.
Brother BRCONFIG NetWare utility (A Novell Network is necessary)
Other ways to CHANGE the IP address once it is already set:
1.
Printer control 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 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).
