IP Address

This field displays the current IP address of the DCP/MFC. If you 
have selected a BOOT Method of STATIC, enter the IP address that 
you wish to assign to the DCP/MFC (check with your network 
manager for the IP address to use). If you have selected a method 
other than STATIC, the DCP/MFC will attempt to determine its IP 
address using the DHCP or BOOTP protocols. The default IP 
address of the Brother network board in your DCP/MFC will probably 
be incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme of your 
network. We recommend that you contact your network manager for 
an IP address for the network the unit will be connected on.

subnet mask to use.
