CHAPTER 12 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 

12-4

 

 

 

If your PC has only the TCP/IP protocol, do the following: 
 

 

1.  Select TCP/IP filter in the left frame of the main window. 
2.  Select the "Device" menu and choose the "Search Active Devices". 

 
If the print server is set to its factory default settings, it will not appear in the 
BRAdmin screen, however, when you select the "Search Active Devices" option, 
it will be found as an un-configured device. 
 

3.  Select the "Device" menu and choose the "Setup Unconfigured Device". 
4.  Select the MAC address of your print server and click the Configure 

button. 

 

 

You can find the node name and MAC address by printing out the printer 
configuration page. Refer to the User’s Guide for information on how to print the 
configuration page on your print server. 
 

 

5.  Input the IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway (If needed) of your print 

server. 

6.  Click OK then select Close. 
7.  With the correctly programmed IP address, you will see the Brother print 

server in the device list. 

 
 

 
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated 
mechanisms for IP address allocation. If you have DHCP Server in your network 
(typically a Unix, Windows NT/2000 or Novell Netware network) the print 
server will automatically obtains its IP address from DHCP server and register its 
name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services. 
 
If you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, 
you must set the BOOT METHOD to static, this will prevent the print server 
from trying to obtain an IP address from any of these systems. To change the 
BOOT METHOD, use the printer control panel (for those printers that have a 
LCD panel), TELNET (using the SET IP METHOD command), Web browser or 
by using the BRAdmin application.
