Windows® systems
Windows® systems require the dash “-” character between each digit of the Ethernet address.
arp -s 192.168.1.2 00- 80-77-31-01-07
ping 192.168.1.2
UNIX®/Linux systems
Typically, UNIX® and Linux systems require the colon “:” character between each digit of the Ethernet
address.
arp -s 192.168.1.2 00: 80:77:31:01:07
ping 192.168.1.2
Note
You must be on the same Et hernet segment (that is, there cannot be a router between the print server and
operating system) to use the arp -s command.
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 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 server using
the ARP command, you cann ot use the ARP command agai n to change the address. The prin t server will
ignore any attempts to do this. If you wish to change the IP address again, use a web browser, Telnet
(using the SET IP ADDRESS command) or factory reset the print server (which will then allow you to use
the ARP command again).
