■ The Brother machine needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration. ■ If you are using a router, the Gateway address must be configured on the computers and the Brother machine. ■ The Brother machine can also communicate with Macintosh devices.
This type of network has a central access point at the heart of the network. The access point can also act as a bridge or a gateway to a wired network. When the Brother wireless machine (your machine) is part of this network, it receives all print jobs via an access point.
This type of network does not have a central access point. Each wireless client communicates directly with each other. When the Brother wireless machine (your machine) is part of this network, it receives all print jobs directly from the computer sending the print data.
IP address from the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. DNS client The Brother print server supports the Domain Name Service (DNS) client function. This function allows the print server to communicate with other devices by using its DNS name.
Introduction mDNS ® mDNS allows the Brother print server to automatically configure itself to work in a Mac OS X Simple Network ® Configured system. (Mac OS X 10.2.4 or greater). TELNET The Brother print server supports TELNET server for command line configuration.

Appendix A Other ways to set the IP address (for advanced users and administrators) For information on how to configure your machine for a network using the BRAdmin Professional utility or a web browser, see Setting the IP address and subnet mask on page 2-3. Using DHCP to configure the IP address The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP address allocation.
-ax | grep -v grep | grep rarpd ® For AT&T UNIX -based systems, type: ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep rarpd The Brother print server will get the IP address from the rarp daemon when the printer is powered on. A - 2...
For more information, see 9.APIPA on page 4-16. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is 192.0.0.192. However, you can easily change this IP address number to match with the IP address details of your network.
If your Administrator has configured the system to deliver IP addresses using BOOTP, DHCP or RARP your Brother print server can receive an IP address from any one of these IP address allocation systems. In which case, you will not need to use the ARP command. The ARP command only works once. For security reasons, once you have successfully configured the IP address of a Brother print server using the ARP command, you cannot use the ARP command again to change the address.
