The BRAdmin Professional utility can use the IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols to communicate with the Brother Print/Fax server.

If you wish to use the TCP/IP protocol to manage the Print/Fax server make sure that the Print/Fax server has a valid IP address. If you are not using DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you will want to change the IP address.There are two ways to change the IP address using the BRAdmin Professional utility:

Use the IPX/SPX protocol.

Use the TCP/IP protocol and let BRAdmin Professional utility find the Brother Print/Fax server as an unconfigured device.

Using BRAdmin Professional utility and the IPX/ SPX Protocol to set the IP address

If your PC is using the Novell Netware Client software and is using the IPX/SPX protocol, do the following:

1Select IPX/SPX filter in the left frame of the main window.

2Check the Print/Fax server name (the default node name is BRN_xxxxxx, where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address (MAC address)).

If you cannot find your server name, select the Device menu and choose Search Active Devices (you can also press the F4 key) and try again.

You can find the node name and MAC address by printing out the machine configuration page. For information on how to print the configuration page on your Print/Fax server, see

Resetting the Print/Fax Sever back to factory settings (Test

Switch) on page 13-4.

3Select the Print/Fax server that you wish to configure and double click it. You will be asked for a password. The default password is access.

4Select the TCP/IP tab and set the IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway as needed.
