Configured system. (Mac OS X 10.3.9 - 10.5.x)
TELNET 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.
LLMNR 1
The Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution protocol (LLMNR) resolves the names of neighboring computers,
if the network does not have a Domain Name System (DNS) server. The LLMNR Responder function works
when using a computer that has the LLMNR Sender function such as Windows Vista
®
.
Web Services 1
The Web Services protocol enables Windows Vista
®
users to install the Brother printer driver by right-clicking

The Link Layer Topology Discovery protocol (LLTD) lets you locate the Brother machine easily on the
Windows Vista
®
Network Map. Your Brother machine will be shown with a distinctive icon and the node
