You must be on the same Ethernet segment (that is, there cannot 
be a router between the print server and operating system) to use 
the arp -s command. 
If there is a router, you may use BOOTP or other methods 
described in this chapter to enter the IP address.
If your Administrator has configured the system to deliver IP 
addresses using BOOTP, DHCP or RARP your Brother print 
server can receive an IP address from any one of these IP 
address allocation systems. In which case, you will not need to 
use the ARP command. The ARP command only works once. For 
security reasons, once you have successfully configured the IP 
address of a Brother print server using the ARP command, you 
cannot use the ARP command again to change the address. The 
print server will ignore any attempts to do this. If you wish to 
change the IP address again, use a Web Browser, TELNET 
(using the SET IP ADDRESS command) the printer’s control 
panel or factory reset the print server (which will then allow you to 
use the ARP command again).
To configure the print server and to verify the connection, 
enter the following command 
ping ipaddress
 where  
ipaddress
 is the IP address of the print server. For 
example, 
ping 192.189.207.2
