How to connect to your printer using a
Browser
Type http://printers IP Address / into your browser (you can also use the NetBIOS
name of the print server, if you are in Microsoft Windows domain/Workgroup
environment). Enter the DNS name of the printer if connecting to a network that uses
the DNS protocol.
Web Function Page
Once you are connected to the printer, you will see a screen similar to the one below.
Click on the links to manage different aspects of the...

The TCP/IP protocol requires that each d evice on th e network h ave its own unique

Other ways to CHANGE the IP address once it is already set:
1.
 TELNET
2.
 HTTP (Web browser)
3.
 Other SNMP based management utility
These configuration methods are described in the following paragraphs.
The IP address you assign to the print 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). 

CHAPTER 12 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION

Using the printer front panel to allocate
an IP address (printers with LCD panels
only)
Refer to the Quick setup guide for details on how to configure IP address information
using the printer control panel. By using the front panel of the printer, you can
program the IP address details at the same time that other printer parameters are
configured.

Changing the IP Address using the
BRAdmin application
Start the BRAdmin utility (from Windows 95/98/Me, NT4.0, Windows 2000).
The BRAdmin utility can use the IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols to communicate with
the Brother print server. As the default IP address of Brother print servers is
192.0.0.192, the print server will probably be incompatible with the IP address
numbering scheme on your network. If you are not using DHCP, BOOTP or RARP,
you will want to change the IP...

Using BRAdmin and the IPX/SPX Protocol
to change the IP address
If your PC has Novell Netware Client software and is using the IPX/SPX protocol,
do the following:
1.
 Select IPX/SPX filter in the left frame of the main window.
2.
 Check the print server name (the default node name will be BRN_xxxxxx,
where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address (MAC address))
NC-2000 series print servers have a default name of BRO_xxxxxx.. The
NC-8000 series print...

CHAPTER 12 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION
12-6
Using DHCP to Configure the IP address
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated
mechanisms for IP address allocation. If you have DHCP Server in your network
(typically a Unix, Windows NT/2000 or Novell Netware network) the print server
will automatically obtains its IP address from DHCP server and register its name
with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.
If you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, BOOTP...

Using ARP to Configure the Print Server
IP Address
If you are unable to use the Bradmin applicatio, printer front panel and your network
does not use a DHCP server, you can also use the ARP command. ARP is the
simplest method of configuring the print server IP address. The ARP command is
available on Windows systems that have TCP/IP installed as well as Unix systems.
To use arp enter the following command the command prompt:
arp -s ipaddress ethernetaddress
Where...

CHAPTER 12 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION

Using RARP to Configure the IP Address
Brother print server IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (rarp)
facility on your host computer. This is done by editing the /etc/ethers file (if this file
does not exist, you can create it) with an entry similar to the following:
00:80:77:31:01:07   BRN_310107
Where the first entry is the Ethernet address of the print server and the second entry
is the name of the print server (the name must be the same as the one...
