Auto mode
In this mode, the machine will scan the network for a DHCP server, if it can find one, and if the DHCP server is configured to allocate an IP address
to the machine, then the IP address supplied by the DHCP server will be used. If no DHCP server is available, then the machine will scan for a
BOOTP server. If a BOOTP server is available, and it is configured correctly, the machine will take its IP address from the BOOTP server. If a
BOOTP server is not available, the machine will scan for a RARP server. If a RARP server also does not answer, the IP Address is set using the
APIPA protocol, see Using APIPA to configure the IP address on page 69. After the machine is initially powered ON, it may take a few minutes
for the machine to scan the network for a server.
2
Static mode
In this mode the machine's IP address must be manually assigned. Once entered the IP address is locked to the assigned address.
3
RARP mode
The Brother print server IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (RARP) service on your host computer. For more information on
RARP, see Using RARP to configure the IP address on page 69.
4
BOOTP mode
BOOTP is an alternative to RARP that has the advantage of allowing configuration of the subnet mask and gateway. For more information on
BOOTP, see Using BOOTP to configure the IP address on page 68.
5
DHCP mode
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP address allocation. If you have a DHCP server in
your network (typically a UNIX
DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002 compliant dynamic name services.
Note
On smaller networks, the DHCP server may be the router.
IP Address
This field displays the current IP address of the machine. If you have chosen a BOOT Method of Static, enter
the IP address that you wish to assign to the machine (check with your network administrator for the IP
address to use). If you have chosen a method other than Static, the machine will attempt to determine its IP
address using the DHCP or BOOTP protocols. The default IP address of your machine will probably be
incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme of your network. We recommend that you contact your
network administrator for an IP address for the network the unit will be connected on.
