    STATIC, the machine will attempt to determine its IP address using the DHCP or BOOTP protocols. The default IP address of the Brother network board in your machine 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.
  • Page 95: Gateway

    You can register the machine name on the Network. This name is often referred to as a NetBIOS name; it will be the name that is registered by the WINS server on your network. Brother recommends the name BRN_XXXXXX (where XXXXXX is the last six digits of the Ethernet address) (up to 15 characters).
