TCP/IP Configuration
Assigning TCP/IP Information
Overview
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.
The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically
assigns an IP address from the range: 169.254.1.0 to
169.254.254.255. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP
address of a Brother print 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. This can be done in any of the following
ways:
■
From your machine’s control panel settings.
■
BRAdmin Professional utility (for Windows
®
95/98/Me
/
2000/XP
and Windows NT ® 4.0 using the IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols).
■
DHCP, APIPA, Reverse ARP (rarp) or BOOTP.
■
The ARP command.
■
HTTP (Web browser).
■
Other SNMP based management utility.
■
Web BRAdmin software
These configuration methods are described in the following
paragraphs.
The IP address you assign to the Print/Fax 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).
