1 Unix® Printing 1 Printing from UNIX®/Linux Using TCP/ IP Overview Brother print servers are supplied with the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite. Since virtually all UNIX® host computers support TCP/IP, this capability allows a printer to be shared on a UNIX® Ethernet network. As with all protocols, TCP/IP communications can proceed concurrently while other protocols are active, this means that UNIX®, NetWare®, Apple®, and other computers can share the same Brother print server over an Ethernet network. The Linux operating system uses the same setup procedures as standard Berkeley UNIX® systems. Refer to this chapter for a typical GUI based Linux installation. Quick Tips: 1 The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically assigns an IP address from the range: 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If you want to disable the APIPA protocol, you can turn the setting off by using control panel buttons to access APIPA in the TCP/IP setting of the NETWORK menu. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer control panel, the BRAdmin Professional, Web BRAdmin software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer. 2 Refer to chapter 9 of this User's Guide to learn how to configure the IP address on your printer. 3 The default password for Brother print servers is access. 1 - 1 UNIX® PRINTING
