Using BOOTP to Configure the IP
Address
BOOTP is an alternative to rarp that has the advantage of allowing configuration of
the subnet mask and gateway. In order to use BOOTP to configure the IP address
make sure that BOOTP is installed and running on your host computer (it should
appear in the /etc/services file on your host as a real service; type man bootpd or refer
to your system documentation for information). BOOTP is usually started up via the
/etc/inetd.conf...

Configuring the IP Address with DEC NCP
or BRCONFIG
Users of DEC and Novell networks have additional alternatives for configuring the
IP address of Brother print servers by using the remote console facility. On VMS
systems, you will need to have DECNET running in order to use the remote console.
The procedure of DEC Network is as follows:
Connect to the remote console, if you are using the remote console with VMS or
LTRIX, you will need to know the circuit ID *QNA-0...

On a NetWare networks, you can use the BRCONFIG utility which are included with
every print server.
If you are using the remote console, you will get the message Console connected
(VMS) or Connection established (BRCONFIG) or Remote console reserved
(ULTRIX). Press RETURN and enter the default password access in response to
the # prompt (it will not echo).
You will be prompted for a user name. Enter anything in response to this prompt.
You will then get the Local>...

The leftmost group of digits in your IP address can identify the type of network you
have. The value of this group ranges from 192 through 255 for Class C networks
(e.g., 192.189.207.3), 128 through 191 for Class B networks (e.g.,128.10.1.30), and 1
through 127 for Class A networks (e.g., 13.27.7.1).
If you have a gateway (router), enter its address with the command SET IP ROUTER
routeraddress, where routeraddress is the desired IP address of the gateway you wish
to...

Changing the IP Address settings with
the TELNET Console
You can also use the TELNET command to change the IP address.
Using TELNET is effective way, when you change the IP address. But a valid IP
address must already be programmed into the print server.
If you are using the TELNET, you will be expected to enter the password of the print
server. Press RETURN and enter the default password of access in response to the
# prompt (it will not echo).
You will be prompted...

Installation problems
If you cannot print over the network, check the following:
1.
 Make sure that the printer is powered on, is on-line and ready to print.
Verify that the printer and the configuration are good by printing the
configuration page. Refer to the Quick Setup Guide for information on how
to print the configuration page on your print server. If the test fails, check:
a.
 If the Alarm LED on the printer front panel is ON or blinking and all of
the LEDs on the...

CHAPTER 13 TROUBLESHOOTING

a. If you are using TCP/IP:
Try pinging the print server from  the host operating system command
prompt with the command:
ping ipaddress
Where ipaddress is the print server IP address (note that in some
instances it can take up to two minutes for the print server load its IP
address (after setting the IP address). If a successful response is
received, then proceed to the UNIX, TCP/IP Windows NT/LAN Server,
Windows98/95/Me Peer to Peer (LPR), Internet Printing or Web...

3.
 If you cannot make any of the connections in step 2, check the following:
a.
 Make sure the printer is powered on and on-line.
b.
 Verify that the cabling, network connection, and print out a
configuration page in the Network STATISTICS information to see if
bytes are being transmitted and received.
c.
 Check to see if there is any LED activity.
The NC-3000/4000 series print servers have three LEDs. These can be used
to diagnose problems.
