TCP/IP Configuration

Assigning TCP/IP Information (Basic)

Overview

The TCP/IP protocol requires that each device on the network have

it's own unique IP address. Use the following information to learn

about IP address configuration.

The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically

assigns an IP address from the range: 169.254.1.0 to

169.254.254.255. If you want to disable the APIPA protocol, set

APIPA to Off using control panel. For more information see page 2-

8. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a

Brother Print/Fax server is 192.0.0.192.

However, you can easily change this IP address number to match

with the IP address details of your network. This can be done in any

of the following ways:

■From your machine’s control panel settings.

■BRAdmin Professional utility (for Windows® 98/Me and Windows®

2000/XP).

■DHCP, APIPA, Reverse ARP (rarp) or BOOTP.

■Other SNMP based management utilities.

These configuration methods are described in the following paragraphs.

The IP address you assign to the Print/Fax server must be on

the same logical network as your host computers. If it is not,

you must properly configure the subnet mask and the router

(gateway). (See page 1-2 for more details)
