Overview

Brother Print/Fax 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:

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 you want to disable the

APIPA protocol, set APIPA to Off using the machine control

panel. For more information, see

APIPA

on page 10-9. If the

APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother

Print/Fax server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the control

panel, the BRAdmin Professional utility, Web BRAdmin

software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the

machine.

To learn how to configure the IP address on your machine, see

Chapter 11

of this User’s Guide .

The default password for Brother Print/Fax servers is

access

The default domain name of the Print/Fax server is

WORKGROUP

to change it use your web browser or the BRAdmin Professional

utility.
