Changing the IP Address using the ARP command
If your printer does not have a LCD panel and you cannot use the BRAdmin32 utility, you
can use the “
arp -s”
command from the DOS prompt:
arp -s 192.189.207.77 00-80-77-31-01-07
Substitute the IP address of the Brother Print Server that you wish to use and replace '
00-
80-77-31-01-07'
with the actual Ethernet hardware address (MAC Address) of the
Brother Print Server.

If you get the message "The arp entry addition failed:", try pinging a known device on the
network using the command “
ping ipaddress”
, where “ipaddress” is the IP address of
that device.
