Appendix A

Using services

A service is a resource that can be accessed by computers that wish to print to the Brother print/scan server. 
The Brother print/scan server provides the following predefined services (do a SHOW SERVICE command 
in the Brother print/scan server remote console to see a list of available services): Enter 

HELP

 at the 

command prompt for a list of supported commands. 

Where 

xxxxxx

 is the last six digits of the Ethernet address (for example, BRN_310107_P1).

Other ways to set the IP address (for advanced users and 
administrators)

For information on how to configure your network printer using the BRAdmin Professional utility or a web 
browser, see Setting the IP address and subnet mask on page 2-3.

Using DHCP to configure the IP address

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP address 
allocation. If you have a DHCP server in your network, the print/scan server will automatically obtain its IP 
address from DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name 
services.

Note

If you do not want your print/scan server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the BOOT 
METHOD to static so that the print/scan server has a static IP address. This will prevent the print/scan server 
from trying to obtain an IP address from any of these systems. To change the BOOT METHOD, use the 
BRAdmin Professional utility.
