Using The Telnet Console To Configure The Ip Address - Brother HL-4040CN Network User's Manual

Where ethernetaddress is the Ethernet address (MAC address) of the print server and ipaddress is the
IP address of the print server. For example:
®
Windows systems
®
Windows systems require the dash "-" character between each digit of the Ethernet address.
arp -s 192.168.1.2 00-80-77-31-01-07
ping 192.168.1.2
®
UNIX /Linux systems
®
Typically, UNIX and Linux systems require the colon ":" character between each digit of the Ethernet
address.
arp -s 192.168.1.2 00:80:77:31:01:07
ping 192.168.1.2
Note
You must be on the same Ethernet segment (that is, there cannot be a router between the print server and
operating system) to use the arp -s command.
If there is a router, you may use BOOTP or other methods described in this chapter to enter the IP address.
If your administrator has configured the system to deliver IP addresses using BOOTP, DHCP or RARP
your Brother print 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. The ARP command only works once. For
security reasons, once you have successfully configured the IP address of a Brother print server using the
ARP command, you cannot use the ARP command again to change the address. The print server will
ignore any attempts to do this. If you wish to change the IP address again, use Web Based Management
(web browser), Telnet (using the SET IP ADDRESS command) or factory reset the print server (which will
then allow you to use the ARP command again).

Using the Telnet console to configure the IP address

You can also use the Telnet command to change the IP address.
Telnet is an effective method to change the printer's IP address. But a valid IP address must already be
programmed into the print server.
Type TELNET ipaddress at the command prompt of the system prompt, where ipaddress is the IP address of
the print server. When you are connected, push the Return or Enter key to get the "#" prompt, enter the
password access (the password will not appear on the screen).
You will be prompted for a user name. Enter anything in response to this prompt.
You will then get the Local> prompt. Type SET IP ADDRESS ipaddress, where ipaddress is the
desired IP address you wish to assign to the print server (check with your network administrator for the IP
address to use). For example:
Local> SET IP ADDRESS 192.168.1.3
