TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 9 - 10

Certain BOOTP host software implementations will not respond to
BOOTP requests if you have not included a download filename in the
configuration file; if this is the case, simply create a null file on the host
and specify the name of this file and its path in the configuration file.

As with rarp, the print server will load its IP address from the BOOTP
server when the printer is powered on.

Configuring the IP Address with BRCONFIG

Users of Novell

®

networks have additional alternatives for

configuring the IP address of Brother print servers by using the
remote console facility.

On a NetWare

®

network, you can use the BRCONFIG utility which is

included with every print server.

Execute BRCONFIG from the Windows

®

menu. Select the

corresponding server name from the list of print servers. When you
get the message that the print server is connected, type the default
password access in response to the “#” prompt.

You will be prompted for a user name. Enter anything in response to
this prompt.

You will then get the

Local>

prompt. Type

SET IP ADDRESS

ipaddress

, where

ipaddress

is the desired IP address you wish

to assign to the print server (check with your network manager for the
IP address to use). For example:

Local> SET IP ADDRESS 192.189.207.3

You will now need to set the subnet mask by typing

SET IP SUBNET

subnet mask

, where

subnet mask

is the desired subnet mask

you wish to assign to the print server (check with your network
manager for the subnet mask to use). For example:

Local> SET IP SUBNET 255.255.255.0
