Disabling the APIPA protocol

If the APIPA protocol is enabled, the print server will automatically allocate a Link-Local IP address in the
range (169.254.1.0 - 169.254.254.255) when the print server cannot obtain an IP address through the BOOT
Method you have set.

By default, the APIPA protocol is enabled. If you wish to automatically disable the APIPA protocol, please
follow these steps:

1

Turn off the printer.

2

Make sure that the front cover is closed and the power cord is plugged in.

3

Hold down the Go button as you turn on the power switch. Keep the Go button pressed down until the
Toner, Drum and Paper LEDs light up. Release the Go button. Make sure that the Toner, Drum and
Paper LEDs are off.

4

Press the Go button seven times and then release the Go button. Make sure that all the LEDs light up.
Then the APIPA protocol has been disabled.

Note

For more information on APIPA, see Chapter 1 or Chapter 2, or visit http://solutions.brother.com.

You can also disable the APIPA protocol using the web browser, BRAdmin Professional or Web
