Configuring DLC on Other Systems

To use DLC on other network systems, you will generally need 
vendor-supplied software. Typically such software will support the 
Brother Print/Fax servers. Follow the vendor's instructions to install 
the DLC protocol on your system.

Once the protocol is installed, create a network port in the same way 
that you did for Windows NT

®

4.0 in the previous sections. The MAC 

address (Ethernet address) of the Print/Fax server should 
automatically appear during the configuration process.

You can find the node name and MAC address by printing out the 
printer configuration page. For information on how to print the 
configuration page on your print server, see 

Resetting the Print/

Fax Sever back to factory settings (Test Switch)

 on page 13-4.
