Protocols
TCP/IP protocols and functionalities
Protocols are the standardized sets of rules for transmitting data on a network. Protocols allow the users to
gain access to network-connected resources.
The print/scan server used on this Brother product supports the TCP/IP (Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol) protocol.
TCP/IP is the most popular set of protocols used for communication such as Internet and E-mail. This protocol
can be used in almost all operating systems such as Windows
®
, Macintosh
®
and Linux.
The following TCP/IP protocols are available on this Brother product.
DHCP/BOOTP/RARP
By using the DHCP/BOOTP/RARP protocols, the IP address can be automatically configured.
Note
To use the DHCP/BOOTP/RARP protocols, please contact your network administrator.
APIPA
If you do not assign an IP address manually (using the BRAdmin software) or automatically (using a
DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server), the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol will automatically
assign an IP address from the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255.
DNS client
The Brother print/scan server supports the Domain Name Service (DNS) client function. This function allows
the print/scan server to communicate with other devices by using its DNS name.
LPR/LPD
One of the standard printing protocols in a TCP/IP network.
Port9100
HP network printer compatible port.
