CHAPTER 2 FRONT PANEL SETUP MENU
IP ADDRESS
This field displays the current IP address of the MFC. If you have selected a Boot Method of STATIC, enter the IP address that you wish to assign to the MFC (check with your network manager for the IP address to use). If you have selected a method other than STATIC, the MFC will attempt to determine its IP address using the DHCP or BOOTP protocols. The default IP address of the Brother network board in your MFC will probably be incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme of your network. We recommend that you contact your network manager for an IP address for the network the unit will be connected on.
When the BOOT METHOD is set to “AUTO”, the MFC cannot receive IP address from a BOOTP server in Windows® 2000. So please ensure that you use DHCP for Windows® 2000 server.
