Configuring your network printer For more information on DHCP, BOOTP and RARP, see Using DHCP to configure the IP address on page A-1, Using BOOTP to configure the IP address on page A-2 and Using RARP to configure the IP address on page A-2. If you do not have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server, the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol will automatically assign an IP address from the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. For more information on 2 APIPA, see Using APIPA to configure the IP address on page A-3. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print/scan server is 192.0.0.192. However, you can easily change this IP address number to match with the IP address details of your network. For information on how to change the IP address, see Setting the IP address and subnet mask on page 2-3. Subnet mask Subnet masks restrict network communication. Example: PC1 can talk to PC2 PC1 IP Address:192.168.1.2 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 PC2 IP Address:192.168.1.3 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Note 0 denotes that there is no limit to communication at this part of the address. In the above example, we can communicate with anything that has an IP address that begins with 192.168.1.X Gateway (and router) A gateway is a network point that acts as an entrance to another network and sends data transmitted via the network to an exact destination. The router knows where to direct data that arrives at the gateway. If a destination is located at an external network, the router transmits data to the external network. If your network communicates with other networks, you may need to configure the Gateway IP address. If you do not know the Gateway IP address then contact your Network Administrator. 2 - 2

For more information on DHCP, BOOTP and RARP, see

Using DHCP to configure the IP address

on page

A-1,

Using BOOTP to configure the IP address

on page A-2 and

Using RARP to configure the IP address

page A-2.

If you do not have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server, the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol will

automatically assign an IP address from the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. For more information on

APIPA, see

Using APIPA to configure the IP address

on page A-3.

If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print/scan server is 192.0.0.192.

However, you can easily change this IP address number to match with the IP address details of your network.

For information on how to change the IP address, see

Setting the IP address and subnet mask

on page 2-3.

Subnet mask

Subnet masks restrict network communication.

Example: PC1 can talk to PC2

PC1 IP Address:192.168.1.2

Subnet Mask:

255.255.255.0

PC2 IP Address:192.168.1.3

Subnet Mask:

255.255.255.0

Note

0 denotes that there is no limit to communication at this part of the address.

In the above example, we can communicate with anything that has an IP address that begins with

192.168.1.X

Gateway (and router)

A gateway is a network point that acts as an entrance to another network and sends data transmitted via the

network to an exact destination. The router knows where to direct data that arrives at the gateway. If a

destination is located at an external network, the router transmits data to the external network. If your network

communicates with other networks, you may need to configure the Gateway IP address. If you do not know

the Gateway IP address then contact your Network Administrator.
