Unix/Linux Systems
Typically, Unix systems require the colon “:” character between each digit of the Ethernet address.
arp
You must be on the same Ethernet segment (that is, there cannot be a router between the Print/Fax server and operating system) to use the arp
If there is a router, you may use BOOTP or other methods described in this chapter to enter the IP address.
If your Administrator has configured the system to deliver IP addresses using BOOTP, DHCP or RARP your Brother Print/Fax server can receive an IP address from any one of these IP address allocation systems. In which case, you will not need to use the ARP command. The ARP command only works once. For security reasons, once you have successfully configured the IP address of a Brother Print/Fax server using the ARP command, you cannot use the ARP command again to change the address. The Print/Fax server will ignore any attempts to do this. If you wish to change the IP address again, use a Web Browser, the machine’s control panel or factory reset the Print/Fax server (which will then allow you to use the ARP command again).
To configure the Print/Fax server and to verify the connection, enter the following command ping ipaddress where ipaddress is the IP address of the Print/Fax server. For example, ping 192.189.207.2.
