TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 11 - 7

Unix/Linux Systems

Typically, Unix systems require the colon “

:

” character between 

each digit of the Ethernet address.

arp -s 192.189.207.2 00:80:77:31:01:07

To configure the Print/Fax server and to verify the connection, 
enter the following command 

ping ipaddress

 where  

ipaddress

 is the IP address of the Print/Fax server. For 

example, 

ping 192.189.207.2

.

You must be on the same Ethernet segment (that is, there cannot 
be a router between the Print/Fax server and operating system) to 
use the arp -s command. 
If there is a router, you may use BOOTP or other methods 
described in this chapter to enter the IP address.
If your Administrator has configured the system to deliver IP 
addresses using BOOTP, DHCP or RARP your Brother Print/Fax 
server can receive an IP address from any one of these IP 
address allocation systems. In which case, you will not need to 
use the ARP command. The ARP command only works once. For 
security reasons, once you have successfully configured the IP 
address of a Brother Print/Fax server using the ARP command, 
you cannot use the ARP command again to change the address. 
The Print/Fax server will ignore any attempts to do this. If you wish 
to change the IP address again, use a Web Browser, the 
machine’s control panel or factory reset the Print/Fax server 
(which will then allow you to use the ARP command again).
