IP Address

This field displays the current IP address of the machine. If you have 
selected a BOOT Method of STATIC, enter the IP address that you 
wish to assign to the machine (check with your network manager for 
the IP address to use). If you have selected a method other than 
STATIC, the machine will attempt to determine its IP address using 
the DHCP or BOOTP protocols. The default IP address of the 
Brother network board in your machine 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.
