Overview
Brother print server range supports SMB (server message block)
over the TCP/IP protocol via the NetBIOS interface. This means that
just like regular Windows

PC's, Brother printers can appear in your
network neighborhood. The main advantage of NetBIOS printing is
that you are able to print from legacy DOS applications that are
running on PC's that are connected to Microsoft networks.
Quick Tips:
1
The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol
automatically assigns an IP address from the range:
169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If the APIPA protocol is
disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is
192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer control panel (if
applicable), the BRAdmin Professional, Web BRAdmin software
or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.

Refer to chapter 10 of this User’s Guide to learn how to
configure the IP address on your printer.
