Appendix B

Using ARP to configure the IP address B

If you are unable to use the BRAdmin application and your network does not use a DHCP server, you can

also use the ARP command. The ARP command is available on Windows

systems that have TCP/IP

installed. To use ARP enter the following command at the command prompt:

arp -s ipaddress ethernetaddress

ping ipaddress

Where ethernetaddress is the MAC Address (Ethernet Address) of the print server and ipaddress is

the IP address of the print server. For example:

 Windows

systems

Windows

systems require the dash “-” character between each digit of the MAC Address (Ethernet

Address).

arp -s 192.168.1.2 00-80-77-31-01-07

ping 192.168.1.2

NOTE

You must be on the same Ethernet segment (that is, there cannot be a router between the print server and

operating system) to use the arp -s command.

If there is a router, you may use BOOTP or other methods described in this chapter to enter the IP address.

If your administrator has configured the system to deliver IP addresses using BOOTP, DHCP or RARP

your Brother print server can receive an IP address from any one of these IP address allocation systems.

In which case, you will not need to use the ARP command. The ARP command only works once. For

security reasons, once you have successfully configured the IP address of a Brother print server using the

ARP command, you cannot use the ARP command again to change the address. The print server will

ignore any attempts to do this. If you wish to change the IP address again, use Web Based Management

via the web browser, or factory reset the print server (which will then allow you to use the ARP command

again).
