f Enter how many times the machine tries to obtain the IP address. We recommend you to enter 3 or more.
Press OK.
g Press Stop/Exit.
1
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. 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’s IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (RARP) facility on your host computer. (For more information on
RARP, see Using RARP to configure the IP address on page 124.)
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 123.)
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, Windows
®
2000/XP, Windows Vista
®
network) the print server will automatically obtain its IP address from a 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 machine’s
control panel Network menu, BRAdmin applications, Remote Setup or Web Based Management (web
browser).
• On smaller networks, the DHCP server may be the router.
