Using Dhcp To Configure The Ip Address - Brother NC-series User Manual

Note
You can find the MAC address on the serial number label on the print
server itself, or you can see it by printing the configuration page. Refer to
the Quick Setup Guide for information on how to print the configuration
page on your print server.
NC-2100h users should note that the original BRAdmin32 utility will not
find the NC-2100h print server. If you are using the original version of
BRAdmin32 please upgrade to the version that was supplied with the NC-
2100h network card. The latest version can also be found on our web site

With the correctly programmed IP address, you will see the Brother print
server in the device list.

Using DHCP to Configure the IP address

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated
mechanisms for IP address allocation. If you have DHCP Server in your
network (typically a Unix, Windows NT or Novell Netware network) the
print server will automatically obtains its IP address from DHCP server and
register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name
services.
Note
If you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or
RARP, you must set the BOOT METHOD to static, this will prevent the
print server from trying to obtain an IP address from any of these
systems. To change the BOOT METHOD, use the print front panel (for
those printers that have a LCD panel, TELNET (using the SET IP
METHOD command), Web browser or BRAdmin (Novell network
required).
