Server

Overview

Brother Print/Fax server range supports SMB (Server Message 
Block) over the TCP/IP protocol via the NetBIOS interface. This 
means that just like regular Windows

®

 PC's, Brother printers can 

appear in your network neighborhood. The main advantage of 
NetBIOS printing is that you are able to print from legacy DOS 
applications that are running on PC's that are connected to Microsoft 
networks.

Quick Tips:

1

The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol 
automatically assigns an IP address from the range: 
169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If you want to disable the 
APIPA protocol, set APIPA to Off using the machine control 
panel. For more information, see 

APIPA

 on page 10-9. If the 

APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother 
Print/Fax server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the control 
panel, the BRAdmin Professional utility, Web BRAdmin 
software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the 
machine.

To learn how to configure the IP address on your machine, see 

Chapter 11

 of this User’s Guide .

The default password for Brother Print/Fax servers is 

access

.

The default domain name of the Print/Fax server is 

WORKGROUP

to change it use your web browser or the BRAdmin Professional 
utility.
