Using services

A service is a resource that can be accessed by computers that wish to print to the Brother print server. The

Brother print server provides the following predefined services (do a SHOW SERVICE command in the

Brother print server remote console to see a list of available services): Enter HELP at the command prompt for a list of supported commands.

Service (Example)

BINARY_P1

TEXT_P1

BRNxxxxxxxxxxxx

Definition

TCP/IP binary, NetBIOS service

TCP/IP text service (adds carriage return after each line feed)

TCP/IP binary

Where xxxxxxxxxxxx is your machine’s Ethernet address.

Other ways to set the IP address (for advanced users and administrators)

For information on how to configure your machine for a network using the BRAdmin Light utility, see Setting

up the IP address and subnet mask on page 12.

A

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 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 server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the BOOT

METHOD to static so that the print server has a static IP address. This will prevent the print server from trying to obtain an IP address from any of these systems. To change the BOOT METHOD, use the

BRAdmin Light utility.
