Subnet Mask

4

This field displays the current subnet mask used by the machine. If you are not using DHCP or BOOTP to
obtain the subnet mask, enter the desired subnet mask. Check with your network administrator for the subnet
mask to use.

Gateway

4

This field displays the current gateway or router address used by the machine. If you are not using DHCP or
BOOTP to obtain the gateway or router address, enter the address you wish to assign. If you do not have a
gateway or router, leave this field blank. Check with your network administrator if you are unsure.

Node Name

4

You can register the machine name on the Network. This name is often referred to as a NetBIOS name; it will
be the name that is registered by the WINS server on your network. Brother recommends the name
BRNxxxxxxxxxxxx for a wired network or BRWxxxxxxxxxxxx for a wireless network (where xxxxxxxxxxxx is
the last 6 figures of your machine’s MAC Address / Ethernet Address) (up to 32 characters).

WINS Config

4

This selection controls how the machine obtains the IP address of the WINS server.

Auto

Automatically uses a DHCP request to determine the IP addresses for the primary and secondary WINS
servers. You must set the Boot Method to Auto or DHCP for this feature to work.

Static

4

Uses a specified IP address for the primary and secondary WINS servers.

WINS Server

4

Primary WINS Server IP Address

4

This field specifies the IP address of the primary WINS (Windows

®

Internet Name Service) server. If set to a

non-zero value, the machine will contact this server to register its name with the Windows

®

Internet Name

Service.

Secondary WINS Server IP Address

4

This field specifies the IP address of the secondary WINS server. It is used as a backup to the Primary WINS
server address. If the Primary server is unavailable, the machine can still register itself with a secondary
server. If set to a non-zero value, the machine will contact this server to register its name with the Windows

®

Internet Name Service. If you have a primary WINS server, but no secondary WINS server, simply leave this
field blank.
