1 Introduction Overview 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, Remote Setup and Status Monitor.
Introduction Network function features Your Brother machine has the following basic network functions. 1 Network printing The print server provides printing services for Windows® 98/98SE/Me/NT®/2000/XP supporting the TCP/IP protocols and Macintosh® supporting TCP/IP (Mac OS® 9.1-9.2 / Mac OS® X 10.2.4 or greater for a wired network and Mac OS® X 10.2.4 or greater for a wireless network).
Introduction Remote Setup The Remote Setup software allows you to configure network settings from a Windows® or Macintosh® (Mac OS® X 10.2.4 or greater). (See Chapter 5 for Windows® and Chapter 11 for Macintosh® of the Software User’s Guide on the CD-ROM). Types of Network Connections Network Connection Example Peer-to-Peer printing using TCP/IP In a Peer-to-Peer environment, each computer directly sends and receives data to each device.
Introduction Network Shared Printing 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 Windows R Network printer (your machine) Windows R Windows R TCP/IP Windows R Also known as “Server” or “Print Server” Network Shared ■ In a larger network, we recommend a Network Shared printing environment.
Introduction Wireless network connection example Connected to a wireless capable computer with an access point in 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 An access point is in the network, but the computer is not wireless capable This type of network has a central access point at the heart of the network. The access point is connected to a computer which is not wireless capable with the Ethenet cable. When the Brother wireless machine (your machine) is a part of this network, it receives all print jobs via an access point. Protocols TCP/IP Protocols Protocols are the standardized sets of rules for transmitting data on a network.
Introduction DNS client The Brother print server supports the Domain Name Service (DNS) client function. This function allows the print server to communicate with other devices by using its DNS name. 1 LPR/LPD Commonly used printing protocol on a TCP/IP network. Port 9100 Another commonly used printing protocol on a TCP/IP network. SMTP client The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) allows the Brother machine to send and receive e-mails. IPP The Internet Printing Protocol (IPP Version 1.
Introduction FTP File Transfer Protocol (FTP) allows the Brother machine to scan black and white or colour documents directly to an FTP server located locally on your network or on the internet. 1 LDAP Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) allows the Brother machine to search for information such as fax numbers and E-mail addresses from an LDAP server. IPv6 This machine is compatible with the IPv6, the next generation internet protocol.
2 Configuring your network printer Overview Before you can use your Brother machine on your network, you need to install the Brother software and also configure the appropriate TCP/IP network settings on the machine itself. To do this, we recommend that you use the automatic installer on the Brother CD-ROM as this will guide you through the software and network installation.
Configuring your network printer If you do not have 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. For more information on APIPA, see Using APIPA to configure the IP address on page 133. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is 192.0.0.192.
Configuring your network printer Setting the IP address and subnet mask Using the BRAdmin Professional utility and the TCP/IP protocol to configure your network printer (for Windows® only) 2 BRAdmin Professional utility The BRAdmin Professional utility is designed to allow you to manage your network connected Brother machines in a TCP/IP environment.
Configuring your network printer Note • If the print server is set to its factory default settings without using a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server, the device will appear as an APIPA device in the BRAdmin Professional utility screen. • You can find the node name and IP address by printing the Network Configuration List. See Printing the Network Configuration List on page 88 for information on how to print the Network Configuration List on your print server. 4 Double-click the unconfigured device.
Configuring your network printer 6 You can now change the print server settings. Using a HTTP (web browser) to change the print/scan settings A standard web browser (we recommend Microsoft Internet Explorer® version 6.0 or later, or Netscape Navigator® version 7.1 or later) can be used to change your print server settings using the HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol). To use a web browser, you must have assigned an IP address to the print server. 1 Type http://printer_ip_address/ into your browser.
Configuring your network printer 3 Click TCP/IP. 4 You can now change the print server settings. Remote Setup for Macintosh® 2 ® The Remote Setup application allows you to configure many MFC settings from a Macintosh application. When you access this application, the settings on your machine will be downloaded automatically to your Macintosh® and displayed on your Macintosh® screen. If you change the settings, you can upload them directly to the machine.
3 Configuring your machine for a wireless network Overview 3 To connect your machine to your wireless network, you need to follow the steps in the Quick Setup Guide. We recommend that you use the Setup Wizard from the machine’s control panel LAN menu. By using this method, you can easily connect your machine to your wireless network. Please follow the instructions in the supplied Quick Setup Guide. Please read this chapter for more details on how to configure the wireless network settings.
Connected to wireless capable computer without an access point in the network (Ad-hoc mode) This type of network does not have a central access point. Each wireless client communicates directly with each other. When the Brother wireless machine (your machine) is part of this network, it receives all print jobs directly from the computer sending the print data.
Confirm your network environment The setup process will be different depending on your network environment. 3 Configuration using SecureEasySetup™. If your wireless access point (A) supports SecureEasySetup™, you do not need to use a computer to configure the printer. The access point (router) and your machine can automatically negotiate using the SecureEasySetup™ procedure.
Configuration using a wireless computer. If your computer has wireless capability, you will need to change the wireless settings of the computer to Ad-hoc mode so you can directly connect and configure the machine. 3 Wireless network terms and concepts When you configure the wireless network machine, you must ensure that your wireless network machine is configured to match the settings of the existing wireless network.
Authentication and encryption Most wireless networks use some kind of security settings. These security settings define the authentication (how the device identifies itself to the network) and encryption (how the data is encrypted as it is sent on the network). If you do not correctly specify these options when you are configuring your Brother wireless device, it will not be able to connect to the wireless network. Therefore care must be taken when configuring these options.
Network key There are some rules for each security method: ■ Open system/Shared key with WEP This key is a 64-bit or 128-bit value that must be entered in an ASCII or HEXADECIMAL format. • 64 (40) bit ASCII:Uses 5 text characters. e.g. “WLLAN” (this is case sensitive). • 64 (40) bit hexadecimal:Uses 10 digits of hexadecimal data. e.g. “71f2234aba” • 128 (104) bit ASCII:Uses 13 text characters. e.g. “Wirelesscomms” (this is case sensitive) • 128 (104) bit hexadecimal:Uses 26 digits of hexadecimal data e.g.

13 Troubleshooting Overview This chapter explains how to resolve typical network problems you may encounter when using the machine. If, after reading this chapter, you are unable to resolve your problem, please visit the Brother Solutions Center at: http://solutions.brother.com.
Troubleshooting Network print software installation problems The Brother print server is not found during setup of the network print software installation or from the printer driver of the Brother machine in Windows®. 13 The Brother print server is not found using the Simple Network Configuration capabilities of Mac OS® X.
Troubleshooting The LCD displays WLAN Off: The wireless interface is not enabled. See Wireless Enable (Wireless network only) on page 76. 3 4 Print the Network Configuration List and check if the settings such as IP address settings are correct for your network. The problem may be the result of mismatched or duplicate IP address. Verify that the IP address is correctly loaded into the print server. And make sure that no other nodes on the network have this IP address.
Troubleshooting 13 (Mac OS®X 10.2.4 - 10.3.x) (Mac OS®X 10.4) 5 If you have tried 1 to 4 above and it does not work, then reset the print server back to the default factory settings and try from the initial setup again. For information how to reset to the default factory settings, see Restoring the network settings to factory default on page 87.
Troubleshooting (2) Press the “Windows” key plus the “E” key to open My Computer. (3) On the left, right click My Network Places, click Properties, then right click Local Area Connection and click Properties. (4) Click the Advanced tab. Under Internet Connection Firewall, verify that the box next to Protect my computer... is unchecked. If the box is selected, click the box to remove the check. Then, click OK. (5) Once your firewall is disabled, try reinstalling the Brother software package.
Troubleshooting For Windows® (1) Try pinging the print server from the host operating system command prompt with the command: ping ipaddress 13 Where ipaddress is the print server IP address (note that in some instances it can take up to two minutes for the print server to load its IP address after setting the IP address). (2) If a successful response is received, then proceed to Windows® 2000/XP IPP troubleshooting. Otherwise, proceed to Step 4. For Mac OS® 9.1 to 9.
Troubleshooting 4 If you have tried 1 to 4 above and it does not work, then reset the print server back to the default factory settings and try from the initial setup again. For information how to reset to the default factory settings, see Restoring the network settings to factory default on page 87 Error during printing 13 If you try to print while other users are printing large amounts of data (e.g. many pages), the printer is unable to accept your print job until the ongoing printing is finished.
Troubleshooting Protocol-specific troubleshooting Windows® 2000/XP IPP troubleshooting 13 Want to use a different Port number other than 631. If you are using Port 631 for IPP printing, you may find that your firewall may not let the print data through. If this is the case, use a different port number (port 80), or configure your Firewall to allow Port 631 data through.
Troubleshooting Wireless network troubleshooting Wireless setup problems 13 The Brother print server is not found during setup by the Wireless Device Setup Wizard. 1 Make sure that the machine is powered on, is on-line and ready to print. 2 Move your computer closer to the Brother machine and try again. 3 Reset the print server back to its default factory settings and try again.
Troubleshooting Wireless connection problem The wireless network connection is sometimes disabled. The wireless network connection status is affected by the environment where the Brother printer and other wireless devices are located. The following conditions may cause connection problems: ■ A concrete or metal framed wall is installed between the Brother machine and the access point.
A Appendix A Using services 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 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.conf file, so you may need to enable it by removing the “#” in front of the bootp entry in that file. For example, a typical bootp entry in the /etc/inetd.
Appendix A Using RARP to configure the IP address The Brother print server’s IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (RARP) facility on your host computer. This is done by editing the /etc/ethers file (if this file does not exist, you can create it) with an entry similar to the following: (“BRN” below is “BRW” for a wireless network.
Appendix A Using APIPA to configure the IP address The Brother print server supports the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol. With APIPA, DHCP clients automatically configure an IP address and subnet mask when a DHCP server is not available. The device chooses it's own IP address in the range 169.254.1.0 through to 169.254.254.255. The subnet mask is automatically set to 255.255.0.0 and the gateway address is set to 0.0.0.0. By default, the APIPA protocol is enabled.
Appendix A Note You must be on the same Ethernet segment (that is, there cannot be a router between the print server and operating system) to use the arp -s command. If there is a router, you may use BOOTP or other methods described in this chapter to enter the IP address. If your Administrator has configured the system to deliver IP addresses using BOOTP, DHCP or RARP your Brother print server can receive an IP address from any one of these IP address allocation systems.
Appendix A The leftmost group of digits in your IP address can identify the type of network you have. The value of this group ranges from 1 through 127 for Class A networks (e.g., 13.27.7.1), 128 through 191 for Class B networks (e.g.,128.10.1.30), and 192 through 255 for Class C networks (e.g., 192.168.1.4). If you have a gateway (router), enter its address with the command SET IP ROUTER routeraddress, where routeraddress is the desired IP address of the gateway you wish to assign to the print server.
Appendix A Installation when using a Network Print Queue or Share (printer driver only) Note • You must configure the IP address on your machine before you proceed with this chapter. If you have not configured the IP address, see Chapter 2 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. • Before installation, if you are using Personal Firewall software (e.g.
