IP Address
This field displays the current IP address of the DCP/MFC. If you
have selected a BOOT Method of STATIC, enter the IP address that
you wish to assign to the DCP/MFC (check with your network
manager for the IP address to use). If you have selected a method
other than STATIC, the DCP/MFC will attempt to determine its IP
address using the DHCP or BOOTP protocols. The default IP
address of the Brother network board in your DCP/MFC will probably
be incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme of your
network. We recommend that you contact your network manager for
an IP address for the network the unit will be connected on.
