Using APIPA to configure the IP address
The Brother print server supports the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol. With APIPA, DHCP
clients automatically configure an IP address and subnet mask when a DHCP server is not available. The
device chooses it's own IP address in the range 169.254.1.0 through to 169.254.254.255. The subnet mask
is automatically set to 255.255.0.0 and the gateway address is set to 0.0.0.0.
By default, the APIPA protocol is enabled. If you want to disable the APIPA protocol, you can disable it using
control panel of the machine. For more information, see APIPA on page 72.
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.
Using ARP to configure the IP address
If you are unable to use the BRAdmin application and your network does not use a DHCP server, you can
also use the ARP command. The ARP command is available on Windows
®
systems that have TCP/IP
installed as well as UNIX
®
systems. To use arp enter the following command at the command prompt:
arp -s ipaddress ethernetaddress
Where ethernetaddress is the Ethernet address (MAC address) of the print server and ipaddress is the
IP address of the print server. For example:
Windows
®
systems
Windows
®
systems require the dash "-" character between each digit of the Ethernet address.
arp -s 192.168.1.2 00-80-77-31-01-07
UNIX
®
/Linux systems
Typically, UNIX
®
and Linux systems require the colon ":" character between each digit of the Ethernet
address.
arp -s 192.168.1.2 00:80:77:31:01:07
