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.

The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically 
assigns an IP address from the range: 169.254.1.0 to 
169.254.254.255. If you want to disable the APIPA protocol, see 
Chapter 3 "Network factory default setting" on page 3-11 of the 
User's Guide. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP 
address of a Brother print server is 192.0.0.192. 
However, you can easily change this IP address number to match 
with the IP address details of your network. This can be done in any 
of the following ways:

■

From your printer’s control panel settings (if your printer has an 
LCD panel).

■

BRAdmin application (for Windows

®

 95/98/Me, Windows NT

®

 4.0 

and Windows

®

 2000/XP, using the IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols).

■

DHCP, APIPA, Reverse ARP (rarp) or BOOTP.

■

The ARP command.

■

Brother BRCONFIG NetWare utility (a Novell Network is 
necessary).

■

The printer’s control panel.

■

TELNET.

■

HTTP (Web browser).
