CHAPTER 3 WINDOWS NT AND LAN SERVER NETWORK CONFIGURATION (TCP/IP)
3-11
• 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.
If you get the message "The arp entry addition failed:", try pinging a
known device on the network using the command “ping
ipaddress”, where “ipaddress” is the IP address of that device.
✒ Note
• You must be on the same Ethernet segment (that is, there cannot be a
router between the print server and the Windows NT system) to use
the arp -s command.
• If there is a router, you may use BOOTP or other methods described
in Chapter 2 to enter the IP address.
• If your Administrator has configured the system to deliver IP
addresses using BOOTP, DHCP or RARP your Brother Print Server
can receive an IP address from any one of these IP address allocation
systems, in which case, you will not need to use the ARP command.
• The ARP command only works once. For security reasons, once you
have successfully configured the IP address of a Brother Print Server
using the ARP command, you can not use the ARP command again to
change the address. The print server will ignore any attempts to do
this. If you wish to change the IP address again, use a web browser,
TELNET (using the SET IP ADDRESS command as described in
Appendix A), the printer front panel (if you have an LCD panel) or
factory reset the print server (which will then allow you to use the
ARP command again).
2. Verify the connection by using the “ping” command with the address
or name of the print server. For example:
ping 192.189.207.77
If you have put an entry into the hosts file, substitute 'bro' with the name
you have entered. Otherwise use desired IP address in place of
192.189.207.77. In the above example, the name 'bro' will be associated
with the IP address 192.189.207.77.
