10 - 7 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION

Unix/Linux Systems

Typically, Unix systems require the hash "-" character between each 
digit of the Ethernet address.

arp -s 192.189.207.2 00-80-77-31-01-07

To configure the print server and to verify the connection, enter 
the following command 

ping ipaddress

 where  

ipaddress

 is the IP address of the print server. For example, 

ping 192.189.207.2

.

You must be on the same Ethernet segment (that is, there cannot 
be a router between the print server and operating system) to use 
the arp -s command. 
If there is a router, you may use BOOTP or other methods 
described in this chapter to enter the IP address.
If your Administrator has configured the system to deliver IP 
addresses using BOOTP, DHCP or RARP your Brother print 
server can receive an IP address from any one of these IP 
address allocation systems. In which case, you will not need to 
use the ARP command. The ARP command only works once. For 
security reasons, once you have successfully configured the IP 
address of a Brother print server using the ARP command, you 
cannot use the ARP command again to change the address. The 
print server will ignore any attempts to do this. If you wish to 
change the IP address again, use a Web Browser, TELNET 
(using the SET IP ADDRESS command) the printer’s control 
panel (if your printer has an LCD panel) or factory reset the print 
server (which will then allow you to use the ARP command again).
