1Auto mode
In this mode, the machine will scan the network for a DHCP server, if it can find one, and if the DHCP server is configured to allocate an IP address
to the machine, then the IP address supplied by the DHCP server will be used. If no DHCP server is available, then the machine will scan for a
BOOTP server. If a BOOTP server is available, and it is configured correctly, the machine will take its IP address from the BOOTP server. If a
BOOTP server is not available, the machine will scan for a RARP server. If a RARP server also does not answer, the IP Address is set using the
APIPA protocol, see Using APIPA to configure the IP address onpage 148. After the machine is initially powered ON, it may take a few minutes
for the machine to sc an the network for a server.
2Static mode
In this mode the mac hine’s IP address m ust be manually as signed. Once enter ed the IP address is locked to the as signed address.
3RARP mode
The Brother print server IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (RARP) service on your host computer. For more information on
RARP, see Using RARP to configure the IP address onpage148.
4BOOTP mode
BOOTP is an alternative to RARP that has the advantage of allowing configuration of the subnet mask and gateway. For more information on
BOOTP, see Using BOOTP to configure the IP address on page 147.
5DHCP mode (DHCP)
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP address allocation. If you have a DHCP server in
your network (typically a UNIX®, Windows® 2000/XP, Window s Vista® network) the print server will automatically obtain its IP address from a
DHCP server and regis ter its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002 compliant dyna mic name services .
