Assigning TCP/IP Information
Overview
The TCP/IP protocol req uires that each device on the network have
it's own unique IP address. Use the following information to learn
about IP address con figuration.
The Automatic Private IP A ddressing (APIPA) protoc ol automatically
assigns an IP address from the range: 169.254.1.0 to
169.254.254.255. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP
address of a Brother print se rver is 192.0.0.192. However, yo u can
easily change this IP addr ess number to match with the IP ad dress
details of your network. Th is can be done in any of the following
ways:
■From your machine’s control panel settings.
■BRAdmin Professional util ity (for Windows® 95/98/Me/ 2000/XP
and Windows NT® 4.0 using the IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols).
■DHCP, APIPA, Reverse ARP (rarp) or BOOTP.
■The ARP command.
■HTTP (Web browser).
■Other SNMP based management utility.
■Web BRAdmin software
These configuration method s are described in the following paragraphs.
The IP address you assign to the Print/Fax server must be on
the same logical networ k as your host computers. I f it is not,
you must properly configure the subnet mask and the router
(gateway).
