Before using your Brother product in a network environment, you need to configure the correct TCP/IP 
settings.
In this chapter, you will learn how to configure the network settings using the control panel, located on the 
front of the machine.
The 

LAN

 menu selections of the control panel allow you to set up the Brother machine for your network 

configuration. Press 

Menu

, then press 

a

 or 

b

 to choose 

LAN

. Proceed to the menu selection you wish to 

configure. See 

Function table and default factory settings

on page 76.

Please note that the machine is supplied with the BRAdmin Light utility and Remote Setup applications for 
Windows

®

 and Macintosh

®

, which also can be used to configure many aspects of the network. See 

Changing 

the print server settings

on page 15.

This menu has ten sections: 

BOOT Method

, 

IP Address

, 

Subnet Mask

, 

Gateway

, 

Node Name

, 

WINS Config

, 

WINS Server

BOOT Method

3

This selection controls how the machine obtains an IP address. The default setting is 

Auto

.

Note

If you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the 

BOOT 

Method

 to 

Static

 so that the print server has a static IP address. This will prevent the print server from 

trying to obtain an IP address from any of these systems. To change the BOOT Method, use the machine’s 
control panel, BRAdmin Light utility, Remote Setup or Web Based Management (web browser).
