CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 1-1 1 11 CHAPTER ONE TCP/IP Conf iguration Assigning TCP/IP Inf ormation Ov erview The TCP/IP protocol req uires that each device on the network have it's o wn unique IP address. Use the following informat ion to learn about IP address configuration.
CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 1-2 Using the F AX/MFC fr ont panel to allo cate an IP addr ess Refer to chapter 2 for detai ls on how to configure IP address informat ion using the FAX/MFC c ontrol panel. By using the front pan el of the FAX/MFC, you can program the IP address details at the same time that other FAX /MFC parameters are configured.
CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 1-3 Using BRAdmin and the IPX/SPX Protocol to set the IP addr ess If your PC has Novell Netware Client software and is using t he IPX/SPX protocol, do the f ollowing: 1. Select IPX/SPX filter in the left frame of the main w indow.
CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 1-4 Changing the IP Address using the BRAdmin application Start the BRAdmin application (from Windows ® 95/98/ Me/NT ® 4.0/2000/X P). The BRAdmin application c an use the IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols t o communicate with the Brother Print / Fax server.
CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 1-5 Using DHCP to Conf igur e the IP addr ess Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of s everal automated mechanisms for IP ad dress allocation.
CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 1-6 Using ARP to Conf igure the Print / F ax serv er IP Addr ess If you are unable to use t he BRAdmi n application, F AX/MFC front panel and your network does not use a DHCP server, y ou can also u se the ARP command. ARP is the simpl est method of configuri ng the Print / Fax server IP address.
CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 1-7 Using RARP to Conf igur e the IP Addr ess Brother Print / Fax ser ver IP address can be co nfigured using t he Reverse ARP (rarp) facility on your host computer.
CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 1-8 Using BOO TP to Conf igur e the IP Addr ess BOOTP is an alternative to rarp that has t he advantage of al lowing configuration of the subnet mask and g ateway.
CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 1-9 Changing the IP Addr ess settings with the TELNET Console You can also use the T ELNET command to chan ge the IP address. Using TELN ET is effective way, w hen you change t he IP address. But a v alid IP address must already be prog rammed into the Print / Fax server.
