LAN Server/OS/2 Warp Server
Configuration
As Brother print servers support the SMB protocol over TCP/IP via a NetBIOS
interface, you can easily configure your printer to work with an IBM LAN Server
and OS/2 Warp Server networks that have IBM TCP/IP V2.0 or later installed on the
fileserver. Use the following procedure to configure the LAN Server, OS/2 Warp
Server or OS/2 Warp connect workstation.

Server Configuration:

1. Open the Templates folder on the OS/2 desktop.
2. Using the right mouse button, drag the Printer template onto the desktop.
3. Type in any desired name for the printer from the Create a Printer window.
4. Choose an unused port (for example, LPT3) to connect to the printer.
5. Choose the appropriate printer driver from the list.
6. Click Create and then OK.
7. If desired, indicate whether you want to share the printer.

Workstation Configuration:

On each workstation that you wish to print from, execute the following step:
Go to the DOS or OS/2 command prompt and enter the command:
NET USE LPTx: \\NodeName\ServiceName
Where "x" is the LPT port number (1 through 9), NodeName is the NetBIOS Name
of the print server (usually BRN_xxxxxx by default, where "xxxxxx" is the last six
digits of Ethernet address) and ServiceName is the service name of the Print Server
(BINARY_P1 by default). For example:
NET USE LPT2: \\BRN_310107\BINARY_P1
NC-2000 series print servers such as the NC-2010h or NC-2100h have a default
name of BRO_xxxxxx. In which case the above line would be entered as:
NET USE LPT2: \\BR0_234523\BINARY_P1
You can find the NetBIOS name and MAC address by printing out the printer
configuration page. Refer to the Quick Setup Guide for information on how to print
the configuration page on your print server.
