Section II Network Glossary Types of network connections and protocols Configuring your machine for a network Wireless network terms and concepts (For MFC-8710DW, MFC-8810DW, MFC-8910DW and MFC-8950DW(T)) Additional network settings from Windows® Security terms and concepts II 152 158 162 166 169
10 Types of network connections and protocols 10 Types of network connections 10 Wired network connection example 10 Peer-to-Peer printing using TCP/IP 10 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 machine sharing.
Types of network connections and protocols Network Shared printing 10 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.
Types of network connections and protocols Protocols 10 TCP/IP protocols and functions 10 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 the Brother machine 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.
Types of network connections and protocols DNS client 10 The Brother print server supports the Domain Name System (DNS) client function. This function allows the print server to communicate with other devices by using its DNS name. NetBIOS name resolution 10 Network Basic Input/Output System name resolution enables you to obtain the IP address of the other device using its NetBIOS name during the network connection.
Types of network connections and protocols TELNET 10 The TELNET protocol allows you to control the remote network devices on a TCP/IP network from your computer. SNMP 10 The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used to manage network devices including computers, routers and Brother network ready machines. The Brother print server supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3. Note For details of the SNMPv3 protocol, see Security protocols uu page 170.
Types of network connections and protocols SNTP 10 The Simple Network Time Protocol is used to synchronize computer clocks on a TCP/IP network. You can configure the SNTP settings using Web Based Management (web browser). (For the details, see Synchronize with SNTP server uu page 98.) CIFS 10 The Common Internet File System is the standard way that computer users share files and printers in Windows®.
11 Configuring your machine for a network 11 IP addresses, subnet masks and gateways 11 To use the machine in a networked TCP/IP environment, you need to configure its IP address and subnet mask. The IP address you assign to the print server must be on the same logical network as your host computers. If it is not, you must properly configure the subnet mask and the gateway address. IP address 11 An IP address is a series of numbers that identifies each device connected to a network.
Configuring your machine for a network Subnet mask 11 Subnet masks restrict network communication. Example: Computer 1 can talk to Computer 2 • Computer 1 IP Address: 192.168. 1. 2 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.000 • Computer 2 IP Address: 192.168. 1. 3 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.000 Where the 0 is in the Subnet mask, there is no limit to communication at this part of the address. What this means in the above example is, we can communicate with any device that has an IP address that begins with 192.168.1.x.
Configuring your machine for a network IEEE 802.1x Authentication 11 IEEE 802.1x is an IEEE standard for wired and wireless networks that limits access from unauthorized network devices. Your Brother machine (supplicant) sends an authentication request to a RADIUS server (Authentication server) through your access point (authenticator). After your request has been verified by the RADIUS server, your machine can access the network.
Configuring your machine for a network EAP-TTLS EAP-TTLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol-Tunneled Transport Layer Security) has been developed by Funk Software and Certicom. EAP-TTLS creates a similar encrypted SSL tunnel to PEAP, between a client and an authentication server, for sending a user ID and password. EAP-TTLS provides mutual authentication between the server and the client.
12 Wireless network terms and concepts (For MFC-8710DW, MFC-8810DW, MFC-8910DW and MFC-8950DW(T)) 12 Specifying your network 12 SSID (Service Set Identifier) and channels 12 You need to configure the SSID and a channel to specify the wireless network you want to connect to. SSID Each wireless network has its own unique network name and it is technically referred to as SSID. The SSID is a 32-byte or less value and is assigned to the access point.
Wireless network terms and concepts (For MFC-8710DW, MFC-8810DW, MFC-8910DW and MFC-8950DW(T)) Authentication and Encryption methods for a personal wireless network 12 A personal wireless network is a small network, such as a home wireless network, without IEEE 802.1x support.

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 B Using RARP to configure the IP address B Before you configure the IP address using RARP, you must set the machine’s Boot Method to RARP. To change the Boot Method, use the machine’s control panel Network menu, BRAdmin applications, Remote Setup (For MFC models) or Web Based Management (web browser). The Brother print server’s IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (RARP) facility on your host computer.
Appendix B Using BOOTP to configure the IP address B B Before you configure the IP address using BOOTP, you must set the machine’s Boot Method to BOOTP. To change the Boot Method, use the machine’s control panel Network menu, BRAdmin applications, Remote Setup (For MFC models) or Web Based Management (web browser). BOOTP is an alternative to RARP that has the advantage of allowing configuration of the subnet mask and gateway.
Appendix B Using ARP to configure the IP address B 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.
Appendix B Using the TELNET console to configure the IP address B B 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 at the command prompt of the system prompt, where is the IP address of the print server. When you are connected, push the Return or Enter key to get the “#” prompt.
