How the IP address is assigned to your print server:
If you have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server in your network (typically a UNIX
®
/Linux or Windows
®
2000/XP
network) the print server will automatically obtain its IP address from the 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.
For more information on DHCP, BOOTP and RARP, see Using DHCP to configure the IP address on page
A-1, Using BOOTP to configure the IP address on page A-2 and Using RARP to configure the IP address on
page A-2.
If you do not have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server, the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol will
automatically assign an IP address from the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. For more information on
APIPA, see Using APIPA to configure the IP address on page A-3.
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. For
information on how to change the IP address, see Setting the IP address and subnet mask on page 2-3.
Subnet mask
Subnet masks restrict network communication.
Example: PC1 can talk to PC2
PC1 IP Address:192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
PC2 IP Address:192.168.1.3
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Note
0 denotes that there is no limit to communication at this part of the address.
In the above example, we can communicate with anything that has an IP address that begins with
192.168.1.X
