The BRAdmin32 utility can use the IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols to
communicate with the Brother print server. As the default IP address of
Brother print servers is 192.0.0.192, this means that the print server will
probably be incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme on your
network. If you are not using DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you will probably
want to change the IP address. There are two ways that you can do this
from within BRAdmin32. 1) use the TCP/IP protocol and let BRAdmin32
find the Brother Print server as an un-configured device, or 2) Use the
IPX/SPX protocol.
<USING IPX/SPX to change the IP address>
1. Select IPX/SPX filter in the left frame of the main window.
2. Check the print server name (the default node name will be
BRO_xxxxxx, where “xxxxxx” is the six digits of the Ethernet address)
If you cannot find your server name, select the “Device” menu and
choose “Search Active Devices” (you can also press the F4 key) and
try again.
3. Select the print server that you wish to configure and double click it.
You will be asked for a password. The default password is “access”.
4. Select the TCP/IP tab and set the IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway
as needed.
5. Click OK.
<USING TCP/IP to change the IP address>
If your PC has only the TCP/IP protocol, do the following:
1. Select TCP/IP filter in the left frame of the main window.
2. Select the “Device” menu and choose the “Search Active Devices”.
✒
Note
If the print server is set to its factory default settings, it will not appear in
the BRAdmin32 screen, however, when you select the “Search Active
Devices” option, it will be found as a un-configured device.
3. Select the “Device” menu and choose the “Setup Unconfigured
Device”.
