Printing from UNIX
IP
Overview
Brother print servers are supplied with the Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite. Since virtually all
®
UNIX
host computers support TCP/IP, this capability allows a
printer to be shared on a UNIX
protocols,
TCP/IP communications can proceed concurrently while other
protocols are active, this means that UNIX
other computers can share the same Brother print server over an
Ethernet network.
The Linux operating system uses the same setup procedures as
standard Berkeley UNIX
GUI based Linux installation.
Quick Tips:
1
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, you can turn the setting off by using control
panel buttons to access APIPA in the TCP/IP setting of the
NETWORK menu. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default
IP address of a Brother print server is 192.0.0.192. To change
it, use the printer control panel, the BRAdmin Professional, Web
BRAdmin software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP
address to the printer.

Refer to chapter 9 of this User's Guide to learn how to configure
the IP address on your printer.

The default password for Brother print servers is access.
