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, this
means that 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 IPX/SPX protocol, 2) use the TCP/IP protocol and let BRAdmin32
find the Brother Print server as an un-configured device.
USING IPX/SPX to change the IP address
If your PC has Netware Client software, do the following:
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 BRN_xxxxxx, where
"xxxxxx" is the last six digits of the Ethernet address (MAC 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.
Note
You can find the node 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.
3.
Select the print server that you wish to configure and double click it. You will be
asked for a password. The default password is "access".
4.
Select the TCP/IP tab and set the IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway as needed.
5.
Click OK.
USING TCP/IP to change the IP address
If your PC has only the TCP/IP protocol, do the following:
1.
Select TCP/IP filter in the left frame of the main window.
2.
Select the "Device" menu and choose the "Search Active Devices".
Note
If the print server is set to its factory default settings, it will not appear in the BRAdmin32
screen, however, when you select the "Search Active Devices" option, it will be found as a un-
configured device.
