through APIPA facility, see Using APIPA to configure the IP address on page 180. After it is initially powered ON, it may take a few minutes for
the machine to scan the network for a server.
2 STATIC mode
In this mode the machine’s IP address must be manually assigned. Once entered the IP address is locked to the assigned address.
3 RARP mode
The Brother print server IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (RARP) service on your host computer. For more information on
RARP, see Using RARP to configure the IP address on page 180.
4 BOOTP mode
BOOTP is an alternative to RARP that has the advantage of allowing configuration of the subnet mask and gateway. For more information on
BOOTP, see Using BOOTP to configure the IP address on page 179.
5 DHCP mode
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP address allocation. If you have a DHCP server in
your network (typically a UNIX, Windows
® 2000/XP, Windows Vista ® network) the print server will automatically obtain its IP address from a DHCP
server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002 compliant dynamic name services.
Note
• If you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the BOOT
Method to static so that the print server has a static IP address. This will prevent the print server from
trying to obtain an IP address from any of these systems. To change the BOOT Method, use the
machine’s control panel NETWORK menu, BRAdmin applications or Web Based Management (web
browser).
• On smaller networks, the DHCP server may be the router.
IP ADDRESS
8
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.
