CHAPTER 12 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 

12-1

 

 

 
The TCP/IP protocol requires that each device on the network have it's own 
unique IP address. Use the following information to learn about IP address 
configuration. 
 
By default Brother print servers have a sample IP address of 192.0.0.192, 
however, you can easily change this IP address number to match with the IP 
address details of your network. This can be done in any of the following ways: 
 

1.  Printer control panel setting (If your printer has an LCD panel) 
2.  BRAdmin application (for Windows 95/98/Me/NT 4.0/2000/XP using 

the IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocol) 

3.  DHCP, Reverse ARP (rarp) or BOOTP 
4. The 

ARP 

command. 

5.  DEC NCP, NCL, or ccr utilities 
6.  Brother BRCONFIG NetWare utility (A Novell Network is necessary) 

 

 

Other ways to CHANGE the IP address once it is already set: 
 

 

1.  Printer control panel 
2. TELNET 
3.  HTTP (Web browser) 
4.  Other SNMP based management utility 

 
These configuration methods are described in the following paragraphs. 
 
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).
