Using ARP to Configure the Print/Fax Server IP Address

If you are unable to use the BRAdmin Professional utility or the FAX\MFC’s control panel and your network does not use a DHCP server, you can also use the ARP command. The ARP command is available on Windows® systems that have TCP/IP installed as well as Unix systems. To use arp enter the following command at the command prompt:

arp -s ipaddress ethernetaddress

Where ethernetaddress is the Ethernet address (MAC address) of the Print/Fax server and ipaddress is the IP address of the Print/ Fax server. For example:

Windows® Systems

Windows® Systems require the hyphen “-” character between each digit of the Ethernet address.

arp -s 192.189.207.2 00-80-77-31-01-07
