Using the Printer Control Panel to Allocate an IP 
Address (Printers with LCD Panels Only)

Refer to the Quick Setup Guide for details on how to configure IP 
address information using the printer control panel. By using the 
control panel on the printer, you can program the IP address details 
at the same time that other printer parameters are configured.

Changing the IP Address Using the BRAdmin 
Application

Start the BRAdmin application (from Windows

®

 95/98/Me, Windows 

NT

®

4.0 and Windows

®

 2000/XP).

The BRAdmin application can use the IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols 
to communicate with the Brother print server.

If you wish to use the TCP/IP protocol to manage the print server 
make sure that the print server has a valid IP address. There are two 
ways to change the IP address using the BRAdmin Professional 
utility:

■

Use the IPX/SPX protocol.

■

Use the TCP/IP protocol and let BRAdmin find the Brother print 
server as an unconfigured device.

The IP address you assign to the print server must be on the 
same logical network as your host computers. If it is not, you 
must properly configure the subnet mask and the router 
(gateway).

Please use BRAdmin Professional version 1.59 or later.
