Front Panel Setup
LAN Main Setup Menu
You can connect your machine into the network to use the Network Printer and Network Scanner.
To use all the network functions, you can set up your machine using the control panel LAN menu.
The LAN menu selections allow you to set up the Brother machine for your network configuration. Press
Menu/Set, then press the appropriate number, 5 for LAN for example. Proceed to the menu selection you
wish to configure.
Please note that the machine is supplied with the BRAdmin Professional Windows
®
software, which also can
be used to configure many aspects of the network.
Setup TCP/IP
This menu has nine sections: Boot Method, IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Node Name, WINS
Config, WINS Server, DNS Server and APIPA.
BOOT Method
1
Press Menu/Set, 5, 1, 1.
2
Press ▲ or ▼ to select Auto, Static, RARP, BOOTP or DHCP.
3
Press Menu/Set.

Press Stop/Exit.
Static mode
In this mode the machine’s IP address must be manually assigned. Once entered the IP address is locked to
the assigned address.
Auto mode
In this mode, the machine will scan the network for a DHCP server, if it can find one, and if the DHCP server
is configured to allocate an IP address to the machine, then the IP address supplied by the DHCP server will
used. If no DHCP server is available, then the machine will scan for a BOOTP server. If a BOOTP server is
available, and it is configured correctly, the machine will take its IP address from the BOOTP server. If a
BOOTP server is not available, the machine will scan for a RARP server. If a RARP server also does not
answer, the IP Address is scanned through APIPA facility, see page A-3. After it is initially powered ON, it
may take a few minutes for the machine to scan the network for a server.
