Using services A

A service is a resource that can be accessed by computers that wish to print to the Brother print server. The

Brother print server provides the following predefined services (do a SHOW SERVICE command in the

Brother print server remote console to see a list of available services): Enter HELP at the command prompt

for a list of supported commands.

Where xxxxxxxxxxxx is your machine’s Ethernet address.

For DCP560CN, BRN_xxxxxx_P1 (where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address).

Other ways to set the IP address (for advanced users and

administrators) A

For information on how to configure your machine for a network using the BRAdmin Light utility, see Setting

up the IP address and subnet mask on page 10.

Using DHCP to configure the IP address A

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP address

allocation. If you have a DHCP server in your network, the print server will automatically obtain its IP address

from DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.

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

BRAdmin Light utility.

Using BOOTP to configure the IP address A

BOOTP is an alternative to rarp that has the advantage of allowing configuration of the subnet mask and

gateway. In order to use BOOTP to configure the IP address make sure that BOOTP is installed and running

on your host computer (it should appear in the /etc/services file on your host as a real service; type man

bootpd or refer to your system documentation for information). BOOTP is usually started up via the

/etc/inetd.conf file, so you may need to enable it by removing the “#” in front of the bootp entry in that

file. For example, a typical bootp entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file would be:

#bootp dgram udp wait /usr/etc/bootpd bootpd -i
