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 the control panel. For more information, see page
3-9. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a
Brother Print/Scan 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/Scan 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.)
