Configuring An Ip Address For The Print Server; Changing The Ip Address Using The Bradmin32 Application - Brother NC-series User Manual

CHAPTER 3 WINDOWS NT AND LAN SERVER NETWORK CONFIGURATION (TCP/IP)

Configuring an IP address for the Print Server

You must now set an IP address into the Brother Print Server. There are
several ways of doing this:
If your printer has an LCD panel you can use the front panel buttons to
change the IP address, subnet mask and gateway addresses. Refer to Quick
Setup Guide for instructions on how to do this. You can also use the
BRadmin32 Windows utility to change the IP address.

Changing the IP Address using the BRAdmin32 application

Start the BRAdmin32 utility (from Windows 95/98 or NT4.0)
The BRAdmin32 utility can use the IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols to
communicate with the Brother print server. As the default IP address of
Brother print servers is 192.0.0.192, the print 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 probably want to
change the IP address. There are two ways that you can do this from within
BRAdmin32. 1) use the TCP/IP protocol and let BRAdmin32 find the
Brother Print server as an un-configured device, or 2) Use the IPX/SPX
protocol.
<USING IPX/SPX to change the IP address>
1. Select IPX/SPX filter in the left frame of the main window.
2. Check the print server name (the default node name will be
BRO_xxxxxx, where "xxxxxx" is the six digits of the Ethernet address).
If you cannot find your server name, select the "Device" menu and
choose "Search Active Devices" (you can also press the F4 key) and
try again.
