Appendix A
Using services
A service is a resource that can be accessed by computers that wish to print to the Brother print server. The
Brother print server provides the following predefined services (do a SHOW SERVICE command in the
Brother print server remote console to see a list of available services): Enter HELP at the command prompt
for a list of supported commands.
Where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address (for example, BRN_310107_P1).
Other ways to set the IP address (for advanced users and
Administrators)
For information on how to configure your network printer using the BRAdmin Professional utility or a web
browser, see Setting the IP address and subnet mask on page 9.
Using DHCP to configure the IP address
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP address
allocation. If you have a DHCP server in your network, the print server will automatically obtain its IP address
from DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.
Note
If you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the BOOT
METHOD to static so that the print server has a static IP address. This will prevent the print server from trying
to obtain an IP address from any of these systems. To change the BOOT METHOD, use the BRAdmin
Professional utility.
