RARP
Brother Print / Fax server IP address can be configured using the 
Reverse ARP (RARP) facility on your host computer. This is done by 
editing the /etc/ethers file (if this file does not exist, you can create it) 
with an entry similar to the following:

00:80:77:31:01:07   BRN_310107

Where the first entry is the Ethernet address of the Print / Fax server 
and the second entry is the name of the Print / Fax server (the name 
must be the same as the one you put in the /etc/hosts file).

If the rarp daemon is not already running, start it (depending on the 
system the command can be rarpd, rarpd -a, in.rarpd -a or something 
else; type man rarpd or refer to your system documentation for 
additional information). To verify that the rarp daemon is running on 
a Berkeley UNIX-based system, type the following command:

ps -ax | grep -v grep | grep rarpd

For AT&T UNIX-based systems, type:

ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep rarpd

The Brother Print / Fax server will get the IP address from the rarp 
daemon when it is powered on. 

BOOTP
BOOTP is an alternative to rarp that has the advantage of allowing 
configuration of the subnet mask and gateway. In order to use 
BOOTP to configure the IP address make sure that BOOTP is 
installed and running on your host computer (it should appear in the 
/etc/services file on your host as a real service; type man bootpd or 
refer to your system documentation for information). BOOTP is 
usually started up via the /etc/inetd.conf file, so you may need to 
enable it by removing the “#” in front of the bootp entry in that file. For 
example, a typical bootp entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file would be:

#bootp dgram udp wait /usr/etc/bootpd bootpd -i

Depending on the system, this entry might be called “bootps” 
instead of “bootp”.
