CHAPTER 12 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION

Configuring the IP Address with DEC NCP
or BRCONFIG
Users of DEC and Novell networks have additional alternatives for configuring the
IP address of Brother print servers by using the remote console facility. On VMS
systems, you will need to have DECNET running in order to use the remote console.
The procedure of DEC Network is as follows:
Connect to the remote console, if you are using the remote console with VMS or
LTRIX, you will need to know the circuit ID *QNA-0 for Q-BUS systems, SVA-0
for DEC workstations, UNA-0 for UNIBUS systems, BNA-0 for BI systems, and
MNA-0 for XMI systems; you can get the circuit ID by executing the VMS NCP
command SHOW KNOWN CIRCUITS) and the Ethernet address of the print server
(which you can get either from the label on the print server or via the printer
configuration page).
To do this on a printer that has an LCD panel: take the printer off-line by pressing the
SEL button, press and hold down the SHIFT button then press the UP arrow button
until PRINT CONFIG is displayed, press the SET button. The printer will then print
out a configuration sheet, the sheet labeled "Print Configuration" contains all Print
Server configuration information. Put the printer back on-line again by pressing the
SEL button.
For internal Print Servers that are connected to a Brother printer which do not have
an LCD panel, refer to your printer user guide for instructions on how to print out a
configuration page.
Brother's external interfaces, which connect to the parallel interface, have a black
button recessed into the rear of the unit. Press this button to print out a configuration
sheet.
On VMS systems, the connection is made as shown in the following example:
$ MCR NCP
NCP>CONNECT VIA QNA-0 PHY ADD 00-80-77-31-01-07
On ULTRIX systems, you would execute commands similar to the following
example:
# addnode BR -c qna-0 -h 00-80-77-31-01-07
# ccr BR
