IP Address
4
This field displays the current IP address of the machine. If you have chosen a Boot Method of Static,
enter the IP address that you wish to assign to the machine (check with your network administrator for the IP
address to use). If you have chosen a method other than Static, the machine will attempt to determine its
IP address using the DHCP or BOOTP protocols. The default IP address of your machine will probably be
incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme of your network. We recommend that you contact your
network administrator for an IP address for the network the unit will be connected on.
Subnet Mask
4
This field displays the current subnet mask used by the machine. If you are not using DHCP or BOOTP to
obtain the subnet mask, enter the desired subnet mask. Check with your network administrator for the subnet
mask to use.
Gateway
4
This field displays the current gateway or router address used by the machine. If you are not using DHCP or
BOOTP to obtain the gateway or router address, enter the address you wish to assign. If you do not have a
gateway or router, leave this field blank. Check with your network administrator if you are unsure.
Node Name
4
You can register the machine name on the Network. This name is often referred to as a NetBIOS name; it will
be the name that is registered by the WINS server on your network. Brother recommends the name
“BRNxxxxxxxxxxxx” for a wired network or “BRWxxxxxxxxxxxx” for a wireless network. (“xxxxxxxxxxxx” is
your machine’s MAC Address / Ethernet Address.)
WINS Config
4
This selection controls how the machine obtains the IP address of the WINS server.
Auto
4
Automatically uses a DHCP request to determine the IP addresses for the primary and secondary WINS
servers. You must set the BOOT Method to Auto for this feature to work.
Static
4
Uses a specified IP address for the primary and secondary WINS servers.
WINS Server
4
Primary WINS Server IP Address
4
This field specifies the IP address of the primary WINS (Windows
®
Internet Name Service) server. If set to a
non-zero value, the machine will contact this server to register its name with the Windows ® Internet Name
Service.
