Before using your Brother product in a network environment, you need to configure the correct TCP/IP
settings. For more information, see Configuring your network printer on page 8.
In this chapter, you will learn how to configure the network settings using the control panel, located on the
front of the machine.
The LAN menu selections of the control panel allow you to set up the Brother machine for your network
configuration. Press Menu, then press a or b to choose LAN. Proceed to the menu selection you wish to
configure. See Function table and default factory settings on page 88.
Please note that the machine is supplied with the BRAdmin Light utility and Remote Setup applications for
Windows
®
and Macintosh
®
, which also can be used to configure many aspects of the network. See Changing
the print server settings on page 13.
TCP/IP

This menu has ten sections: BOOT Method, IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Node Name,
WINS Config, WINS Server, DNS Server, APIPA and IPv6.
BOOT Method
3
This selection controls how the machine obtains the IP address for itself. The default setting is Auto.
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, BRAdmin Professional utility, Remote Setup or Web Based Management (web browser).
• You cannot change the BOOT method using the BRAdmin Light utility that was supplied on the CD-ROM
with your Brother product. Please use the latest BRAdmin Professional utility that is available as a
download from http://solutions.brother.com/. This utility is only available for Windows
® users.
