If you connect the machine with the Ethernet cable to your network, use the Wired LAN menu selections. If you connect the machine to a wireless Ethernet network, use the WLAN menu selections. (Available for DCP-373CW, DCP-375CW, DCP-377CW, DCP-593CW, DCP-595CW, DCP-597CW, MFC-495CW and MFC-795CW)
This menu has 9 sections: BOOT Method, IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Node Name, WINS Config, WINS Server, DNS Server and APIPA.
BOOT Method
This selection controls how the machine obtains an IP address. The default setting is Auto.
![Note](../img/icon_note.gif)
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 machine’s control panel, BRAdmin Light utility or Remote Setup. |

IP Address
This field displays the current IP address of the machine. If you have chosen a BOOT Method of Static, enter the IP address that you wish to assign to the machine (check with your network administrator for the IP address to use). If you have chosen a method other than Static, the machine will attempt to determine its IP address using the DHCP or BOOTP protocols. The default IP address of your machine will probably be incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme of your network. We recommend that you contact your network administrator for an IP address for the network the unit will be connected on.

APIPA
The setting of
On will cause the print server to automatically allocate a Link-Local IP address in the range (169.254.1.0 - 169.254.254.255) when the print server cannot obtain an IP address through the
BOOT Method you have set (see
BOOT Method). Choosing
Off means the IP address doesn’t change, when the print server cannot obtain an IP address through the
BOOT Method you have set.
