IP ADDRESS
This field displays the current IP address of the FAX/MFC. If you have selected
a Boot Method of STATIC, enter the IP address that you wish to assign to the
FAX/MFC (check with your network manager for the IP address to use). If you
have selected a method other than STATIC, the FAX/MFC will attempt to
determine its IP address using the DHCP or BOOTP protocols. The default IP
address of the Brother network board in your FAX/MFC will probably be
incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme of your network. We
recommend that you contact your network manager for an IP address for the
network the unit will be connected on.

When the BOOT METHOD is set to “AUTO”, the FAX/MFC cannot receive IP
address from a BOOTP server in Windows

®

2000. So please ensure that you use

DHCP for Windows

®

2000 server.
