Using RARP to Configure the IP Address  
  
Brother Print / Fax server IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP 
(rarp) facility on your host computer. This is done by editing the /etc/ethers file 
(if this file does not exist, you can create it) with an entry similar to the 
following: 
  
00:80:77:31:01:07   BRN_310107 
  
Where the first entry is the Ethernet address of the Print / Fax server and the 
second entry is the name of the Print / Fax server...

Using BOOTP to Configure the IP Address 
  
BOOTP is an alternative to rarp that has the advantage of allowing configuration 
of the subnet mask and gateway. In order to use BOOTP to configure the IP 
address make sure that BOOTP is installed and running on your host computer (it 
should appear in the /etc/services file on your host as a real service; type man 
bootpd or refer to your system documentation for information). BOOTP is 
usually started up via the...

You can also use the TELNET command to change the IP address. 
Using TELNET is effective way, when you change the IP address. But a valid IP

If you are using the TELNET, you will be expected to enter the password of the 
Print / Fax server. Press RETURN and enter the default password of access in 
response to the # prompt (it will not...
