IP Address
This field displays the current IP address of the machine. If you have chosen a BOOT Method of Static, enter the IP address that you wish to assign to the machine (check with your network administrator for a suitable IP address to use). If you have chosen a method other than Static, the machine will attempt to determine its IP address using the DHCP or BOOTP protocols. The default IP address of your machine will probably be incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme of your network. We recommend that you contact your network administrator for a suitable IP address for the network the unit will be connected on.
Subnet Mask | 4 | |
This field displays the current subnet mask used by the machine. If you are not using DHCP or BOOTP to | ||

mask to use. |

Gateway
This field displays the current gateway or router address used by the machine. If you are not using DHCP or BOOTP to obtain the gateway or router address, enter the address you wish to assign. If you do not have a gateway or router, leave this field blank. Check with your network administrator if you are unsure.
Node Name
You can register the machine name on the Network. This name is often referred to as a NetBIOS name; it will be the name that is registered by the WINS server on your network. Brother recommends the name BRNxxxxxxxxxxxx for a wired network or BRWxxxxxxxxxxxx for a wireless network (where xxxxxxxxxxxx is your machine’s Ethernet address) (up to 15 characters).
WINS Config
This selection controls how the machine obtains the IP address of the WINS server.

Static
Uses a specified IP address for the primary and secondary WINS servers.
