  • Page 15: Overview

    CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION CHAPTER ONE TCP/IP Configuration Assigning TCP/IP Information Overview The TCP/IP protocol requires that each device on the network have it's own unique IP address. Use the following information to learn about IP address configuration. By default Brother Print / Fax servers have a sample IP address of 192.0.0.192, however, you can easily change this IP address number to match with the IP address details of your network.

  • Page 16: Using The Fax/Mfc Front Panel To Allocate An Ip Address

    CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION Using the FAX/MFC front panel to allocate an IP address Refer to chapter 2 for details on how to configure IP address information using the FAX/MFC control panel. By using the front panel of the FAX/MFC, you can program the IP address details at the same time that other FAX/MFC parameters are configured.

  • Page 17: Using Bradmin And The Ipx/Spx Protocol To Set The Ip Address

    CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION Using BRAdmin and the IPX/SPX Protocol to set 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.

  • Page 18: Changing The Ip Address Using The Bradmin Application

    CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION Changing the IP Address using the BRAdmin application ® ® Start the BRAdmin application (from Windows 95/98/Me/NT 4.0/2000/XP). The BRAdmin application can use the IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols to communicate with the Brother Print / Fax server. As the default IP address of Brother Print / Fax servers is 192.0.0.192, the Print / Fax server will probably be incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme on your network.

  • Page 19: Using Dhcp To Configure The Ip Address

    CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 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 a DHCP Server in your ® ® network (typically a Unix, Windows /2000 or Novell Netware network) the Print / Fax server will automatically obtains its IP address from DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.

  • Page 20: Using Arp To Configure The Print / Fax Server Ip Address

    CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION Using ARP to Configure the Print / Fax server IP Address If you are unable to use the BRAdmin application, FAX/MFC 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 / Fax server IP address.

  • Page 21: Using Rarp To Configure The Ip Address

    CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION Using RARP to Configure the IP Address Brother Print / Fax 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...

  • Page 22: Using Bootp To Configure The Ip Address

    CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 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;...
