Overview
Brother's 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 default IP address of Brother print servers is 192.0.0.192. To change it,
use the BRAdmin Professional utility or let your DHCP server allocate an IP
address to the printer
2.
Refer to chapter 8 of this user guide to learn how to configure the IP address
on your printer.
3. The default password for Brother print servers is "access".
4. The default domain name of the print server is WORKGROUP, to change it
use your web browser or the BRAdmin Professional utility.
5. The default name for Brother print servers is usually BRO_xxxxxx (where
xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address of the print server).
