1 Introduction 1 1 Overview 1 The Brother machine can be shared on a 10/100 MB wired or IEEE 802.11b/802.11g wireless Ethernet network using the internal network print server. The print server supports various functions and methods of connection depending on the operating system you are running on a network supporting TCP/IP. These functions include printing, scanning, PC-FAX send, PC-FAX receive, PhotoCapture Center™, Remote Setup and Status Monitor.
Introduction For Wireless Users: 1 To achieve optimum results with normal every day document printing, place the Brother machine as close to the network access point (or router) as possible with minimal obstructions. Large objects and walls between the two devices as well as interference from other electronic devices can affect the data transfer speed of your documents. Due to these factors, wireless may not be the best method of connection for all types of documents and applications.
Introduction Management utilities 1 1 BRAdmin Light 1 BRAdmin Light is a utility for initial setup of network connected Brother devices. This utility can search for Brother products on your network, view the status and configure basic network settings, such as IP address. The BRAdmin Light utility is available for Windows® 2000/XP and Windows Vista® and Mac OS® X 10.2.4 (or greater) computers. For installing BRAdmin Light on Windows®, please see the Quick Setup Guide we provided with the machine.
Introduction Types of Network Connections 1 1 Wired network connection example 1 Peer-to-Peer printing using TCP/IP 1 In a Peer-to-Peer environment, each computer directly sends and receives data to each device. There is no central server controlling file access or printer sharing.
Introduction Network Shared Printing 1 In a Network Shared environment, each computer sends data via a centrally controlled computer. This type of computer is often called a “Server” or a “Print Server”. Its job is to control the printing of all print jobs. 1 Client computer 2 Also known as “Server” or “Print Server” 3 TCP/IP or USB (where available) 4 Network printer (your machine) In a larger network, we recommend a Network Shared printing environment.
Introduction Wireless network connection examples 1 1 Connected to a computer with an access point on the network (Infrastructure mode) 1 This type of network has a central access point at the heart of the network. The access point can also act as a bridge or a gateway to a wired network. When the Brother wireless machine (your machine) is part of this network, it receives all print jobs via an access point.
Introduction Protocols 1 1 TCP/IP protocols and functions 1 Protocols are the standardized sets of rules for transmitting data on a network. Protocols allow users to gain access to network connected resources. The print server used on this Brother product supports the TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) protocols. TCP/IP is the most popular set of protocols used for communication such as Internet and E-mail.
Introduction TELNET 1 1 The Brother print server supports TELNET server for command line configuration. SNMP 1 The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used to manage network devices including computers, routers and Brother network ready machines. Web Services 1 The Web Services protocol enables Windows Vista® users to install the Brother printer driver by right-clicking the machine icon from the Network folder.

A Appendix A A Using services A 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.
Appendix A Using BOOTP to configure the IP address A 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 /etc/inetd.
Appendix A Using RARP to configure the IP address A The Brother print server’s IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (RARP) facility on your host computer.
Appendix A Using ARP to configure the IP address A If you are unable to use the BRAdmin application and your network does not use a DHCP server, you can also use the ARP command. The ARP command is available on Windows® systems that have TCP/IP installed as well as UNIX® systems. To use arp enter the following command at the command prompt: arp -s ipaddress ethernetaddress Where ethernetaddress is the Ethernet address (MAC address) of the print server and ipaddress is the IP address of the print server.
Appendix A Using the TELNET console to configure the IP address A You can also use the TELNET command to change the IP address. TELNET is an effective method to change the machine’s IP address. But a valid IP address must already be programmed into the print server. Type TELNET ipaddress at the command prompt, where ipaddress is the IP address of the print server. When you are connected, press the Return or Enter key to get the “#” prompt. Enter a password if you have set it.
Appendix A Installation when using a Network Print Queue or Share (printer driver only) A Note • You must configure the IP address on your machine before you proceed with this section. If you have not configured the IP address, see Configuring your machine for a network with an Ethernet cable connection on page 9 first. • Verify the host computer and print server are either on the same subnet, or that the router is properly configured to pass data between the two devices.
Appendix A Installation when using Web Services (For Windows Vista® users) A Note • You must configure the IP address on your machine before you proceed with this section. If you have not configured the IP address, see Configuring your machine for a network with an Ethernet cable connection on page 9 first. • Verify the host computer and print server are either on the same subnet, or that the router is properly configured to pass data between the two devices.
