Overview
Brother Print/Fax server range supports SMB (Server Message
Block) over the TCP/IP protocol via the NetBIOS interface. This
means that just like regular Windows
®
PC's, Brother printers can
appear in your network neighborhood. The main advantage of
NetBIOS printing is that you are able to print from legacy DOS
applications that are running on PC's that are connected to Microsoft
networks.
Quick Tips:
1 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 you want to disable the
APIPA protocol, set APIPA to Off using the machine control
panel. For more information, see APIPA on page 10-9. If the
APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother
Print/Fax server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the control
panel, the BRAdmin Professional utility, Web BRAdmin
software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the
machine.
2 To learn how to configure the IP address on your machine, see
Chapter 11 of this User’s Guide .
3 The default password for Brother Print/Fax servers is access .
4 The default domain name of the Print/Fax server is WORKGROUP ,
to change it use your web browser or the BRAdmin Professional
utility.
