Note

•

If the print server is set to its factory default settings without using a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server, the 
device will appear as an APIPA device in the BRAdmin Professional utility screen.

•

You can find the node name and Ethernet address by printing the Network Configuration List. See 
Printing the Network Configuration List on page 3-16 for information on how to print the Network 
Configuration List on your print server.

4

Double-click the unconfigured device.

5

Enter the IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway (if needed) of your print server.

6

Click OK.

7

With the correctly programmed IP address, you will see the Brother print server in the device list.

Using a web browser to change the print/scan settings

A standard web browser (we recommend Microsoft Internet Explorer

®

 version 6.0 or later, or Netscape 

Navigator

®

 version 7.1 or later) can be used to change your print server settings using the HTTP (Hyper Text 

Transfer Protocol). To use a web browser, you must have assigned an IP address to the print server.

1

Type 

http://printer_ip_address/

 into your browser. (Where 

printer_ip_address

 is the IP 

address or the print server name)

For example: http://192.168.1.2/ (if the printer’s IP address is 192.168.1.2.)

Note

If you have edited the hosts file on your computer or are using Domain Name System, you can also enter the 
DNS name of the print server. As the print server supports TCP/IP and NetBIOS names, you can also enter 
the NetBIOS name of the print server. The NetBIOS name can be seen in the Network Configuration List. 
See Printing the Network Configuration List on page 3-16 for information on how to print the Network 
Configuration List on your print server. The NetBIOS name assigned is the first 15 characters of the node 
name and by default it will appear as 

BRN_xxxxxx

 where 

xxxxxx

 is the last six digits of the Ethernet 

address.

2

Click Network Configuration.

3

Enter a user name and a password. The User Name is “admin” and the default Password is “access”.

4

Click OK. 

5

Click Configure TCP/IP.

6

You can now change the printer server settings.
