Using services
A service is a resource that can be accessed by computers that wish to print to the Brother print/scan server.
The Brother print/scan server provides the following predefined services (do a SHOW SERVICE command
in the Brother print/scan server remote console to see a list of available services): Enter HELP at the
command prompt for a list of supported commands.
Where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address (for example, BRN_310107_P1).
Other ways to set the IP address (for advanced users and
administrators)
For information on how to configure your network printer using the BRAdmin Professional utility or a web
browser, see Setting the IP address and subnet mask on page 2-3.
Using DHCP to configure the IP address
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP address
allocation. If you have a DHCP server in your network, the print/scan server will automatically obtain its IP
address from DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name
services.
Note
If you do not want your print/scan server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the BOOT
METHOD to static so that the print/scan server has a static IP address. This will prevent the print/scan server
from trying to obtain an IP address from any of these systems. To change the BOOT METHOD, use the
BRAdmin Professional utility.
