12 - 2 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION
These configuration methods are described in the following paragraphs.
Using the printer control panel to allocate
an IP address (printers with LCD panels only)
Refer to the Quick Setup Guide for details on how to configure IP
address information using the printer control panel. By using the
control panel on the printer, you can program the IP address details
at the same time that other printer parameters are configured.
Changing the IP Address using the BRAdmin
application
Start the BRAdmin application (from Windows
®
95/98/Me, NT4.0,
Windows
®
2000/XP).
The BRAdmin application 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 want to change the IP address. There are two ways that you can
do this from within BRAdmin.
n
Use the IPX/SPX protocol.
n
Use the TCP/IP protocol and let BRAdmin find the Brother print
server as an unconfigured device.
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).
