Using services

A

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

HELP

 at the command prompt 

for a list of supported commands.

Where “xxxxxxxxxxxx” is your machine’s Ethernet address (MAC address).

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

administrators)

A

For information on how to configure your machine for a network using the BRAdmin Light utility, see 

Setting 

the IP address and subnet mask

on page 12.

Using DHCP to configure the IP address

A

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 server will automatically obtain its IP address 
from the DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.

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 

LAN

 menu, BRAdmin applications, Remote Setup or Web Based Management (web 

browser).
