Certain BOOTP host software implementations will not respond to 
BOOTP requests if you have not included a download filename in the 
configuration file; if this is the case, simply create a null file on the host 
and specify the name of this file and its path in the configuration file.

As with rarp, the print server will load its IP address from the BOOTP 
server when the printer is powered on.

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 for 
Q-BUS systems, SVA-0 for DEC workstations, UNA-0 for UNIBUS 
systems, BNA-0 for BI systems, and MNA-0 for XMI systems; you 
can get the circuit ID by executing the VMS NCP command 

SHOW 

KNOWN CIRCUITS

) and the Ethernet address of the print server 

(which you can get either from the label on the print server or via the 
printer configuration page).

To do this on a printer that has an LCD panel: take the printer off-line 
by pressing the SEL button, press and hold down the SHIFT button 
then press the UP arrow button until 

PRINT CONFIG

 is displayed on 

the printer’s LCD, press the SET button. The printer will then print out 
a configuration page. The sheet labeled "Print Configuration" 
contains all print server configuration information. Put the printer 
back on-line again by pressing the SEL button.

For internal print servers that are connected to a Brother printer 
which does not have an LCD panel, refer to the Quick Setup Guide 
for information on how to print out a configuration page. 

Brother's external interfaces, which connect to the parallel interface, 
have a black button recessed into the rear of the unit. Press this 
button to print out a configuration page.
