    CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION Using BRAdmin and the IPX/SPX Protocol to set the IP address If your PC has Novell Netware Client software and is using the IPX/SPX protocol, do the following: 1. Select IPX/SPX filter in the left frame of the main window. 2.

  • Page 18: Changing The Ip Address Using The Bradmin Application

    Brother Print / Fax server. As the default IP address of Brother Print / Fax servers is 192.0.0.192, the Print / Fax server will probably be incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme on your network. If you are not using DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you will want to change the IP address.

  • Page 19: Using Dhcp To Configure The Ip Address

    CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION Using DHCP to Configure the IP address Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP address allocation. If you have a DHCP Server in your ® ® network (typically a Unix, Windows /2000 or Novell Netware network) the Print / Fax server will automatically obtains its IP address from DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.

  • Page 20: Using Arp To Configure The Print / Fax Server Ip Address

    If your Administrator has configured the system to deliver IP addresses using BOOTP, DHCP or RARP your Brother Print / Fax 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.
