Note

In order to enable BOOTP, simply use an editor to delete the“#” (if there is no “#”, then BOOTP is already enabled). Then edit the BOOTP configuration file (usually /etc/bootptab) and enter the name, network type (1 for Ethernet), Ethernet address and the IP address, subnet mask and gateway of the print server.

Unfortunately, the exact format for doing this is not standardized, so you will need to see your system

documentation to determine how to enter this information (many UNIX® systems also have template examples in the bootptab file that you can use for reference). Some examples of typical /etc/bootptab entries include:

BRN008077310107 1 00:80:77:31:01:07 192.168.1.2

and:

BRN008077310107:ht=ethernet:ha=008077310107:\

ip=192.168.1.2:

Certain BOOTP host software implementations will not respond to BOOTP requests if you have not included

a download filename in the configuration file. If this is the case, simply create a null file on the host and specify A the name of this file and its path in the configuration file.

As with rarp, the print server will load its IP address from the BOOTP server when the machine is powered on.

Using RARP to configure the IP address

The Brother print server’s 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 BRN008077310107

Where the first entry is the Ethernet address of the print server and the second entry is the name of the print 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 -aor something else; type man rarpd or see 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 server will get the IP address from the RARP daemon when the printer is powered on.
