These configuration methods are described in the following paragraphs.

Using the printer control panel to allocate 
an IP address (printers with LCD panels only)

Refer to the Quick Setup Guide for details on how to configure IP 
address information using the printer control panel. By using the 
control panel on the printer, you can program the IP address details 
at the same time that other printer parameters are configured.

Changing the IP Address using the BRAdmin 
application

Start the BRAdmin application (from Windows

®

 95/98/Me, NT4.0, 

Windows

®

 2000/XP).

The BRAdmin application can use the IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols 
to communicate with the Brother print server. As the default IP 
address of Brother print servers is 

192.0.0.192

, the print server 

will probably be incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme 
on your network. If you are not using DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you 
will want to change the IP address. There are two ways that you can 
do this from within BRAdmin. 

n

Use the IPX/SPX protocol.

n

Use the TCP/IP protocol and let BRAdmin find the Brother print 
server as an unconfigured device.

The IP address you assign to the print server must be on the 
same logical network as your host computers. If it is not, you 
must properly configure the subnet mask and the router 
(gateway).
