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, Remote Setup and Status Monitor.
Introduction Due to these factors, wireless may not be the best method of connection for all types of documents and applications. If you are printing large files, such as multi-page documents with mixed text and large graphics, you may want to consider choosing wired Ethernet for a faster data transfer, or USB for the fastest throughput speed. Although Brother MFC-9840CDW can be used in a both wired and wireless network, only either one of the connection methods can be used at a time.
Introduction Network features 1 1 Your Brother machine has the following basic network functions. Network printing 1 The print server provides printing services for Windows® 2000/XP, Windows Vista™ and Windows Server® 2003 supporting the TCP/IP protocols and Macintosh® (Mac OS® X 10.2.4 or greater) supporting the TCP/IP protocols. Network scanning 1 You can scan documents over the network to your computer (See Network Scanning in the Software User’s Guide).
Introduction BRAdmin Professional (for Windows®) 1 1 BRAdmin Professional is a utility for more advanced management of network connected Brother devices. This utility can search for Brother products on your network, view the status and configure the network settings from a computer running Windows® system. BRAdmin Professional has additional features from BRAdmin Light. For more information and downloading, visit us at http://solutions.brother.com.
Introduction Types of network connections 1 1 Network connection example 1 Generally there are two types of network connections. Peer-to-Peer and Network Shared environment. 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 Printer (your machine) In a larger network, we recommend a Network Shared printing environment.
Introduction Wireless network connection example 1 1 Connected to a wireless capable 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 An access point is on the network, but the computer is not wireless capable 1 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 Ethernet cable. When the Brother wireless machine (your machine) is a part of this network, it receives all print jobs via an access point.
Introduction Protocols 1 1 TCP/IP protocols and functionalities 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) protocol. TCP/IP is the most popular set of protocols used for communication such as Internet and E-mail.
Introduction IPP 1 1 The Internet Printing Protocol (IPP Version 1.0) allows you to print documents directly to any accessible printer via the internet. mDNS 1 mDNS allows the Brother print server to automatically configure itself to work in a Mac OS® X Simple Network Configured system. (Mac OS® X 10.2.4 or greater). Telnet 1 The Brother print server supports Telnet server for command line configuration.
Introduction IPv6 1 This machine is compatible with the IPv6, the next generation internet protocol. For more information on the IPv6 protocol, visit http://solutions.brother com.

14 Security features 14 Overview 14 In today’s world there are many security threats to your network and the data that travels over it. Your Brother machine employs some of the latest network security and encryption protocols available today. These network features can be integrated into your overall network security plan to help protect your data and prevent unauthorized access to the machine. This chapter explains various security protocols supported and how to configure them.
Security features Security protocols 14 The Brother print server supports the following security protocols. Note How to configure the protocol settings, see Using Web Based Management (web browser) to change the print/scan settings on page 18. SSL (Secure Socket Layer) / TLS (Transport Layer Security) 14 These security communication protocols encrypt data to prevent security threats. Web server (HTTPS) 14 The internet protocol that the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) uses SSL.
Security features Configuring the protocol settings 14 You can enable or disable each protocol and security method using Web Based Management (web browser). Note We recommend Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0® (or greater) or Firefox® 1.0 (or greater) for Windows® and Safari™ 1.0 for Macintosh®. Please also make sure that JavaScript and Cookies are always enabled in whichever browser you use. We recommend you upgrade to Safari™ 1.2 or greater to enable JavaScript.
Security features Managing your network printer securely 14 To manage your network printer securely, you need to use the management utilities with security protocols. Secure Management using Web Based Management (web browser) 14 To use the HTTPS protocol, the following printer settings are required. A certificate and private key must be installed in the printer. For how to install a certificate and private key, see Creating and installing a certificate on page 141.
Security features Secure Management using BRAdmin Professional (for Windows®) 14 To use the BRAdmin Professional utility securely, you need to follow the points below. We strongly recommend to use the latest version of the BRAdmin Professional utility or Web BRAdmin that are available as a download from http://solutions.brother.com. If you use an older version of BRAdmin 1 to manage your brother devices the user authentication will not be secure.
Security features Printing documents securely using IPPS 14 To print documents securely over the internet, you can use the IPPS protocol. Note • Communication using IPPS cannot prevent unauthorized access to the printer server. • IPPS is available for Windows® 2000/XP, Windows Vista™ and Windows Server® 2003. To use the IPPS protocol, the following printer settings are required. A certificate and private key must be installed in the printer.

A Appendix A 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 A 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 Windows® systems A Windows® systems require the dash “-” character between each digit of the Ethernet address. arp -s 192.168.1.2 00-80-77-31-01-07 ping 192.168.1.2 UNIX®/Linux systems Typically, UNIX® and Linux systems require the colon “:” character between each digit of the Ethernet address. arp -s 192.168.1.2 00:80:77:31:01:07 ping 192.168.1.
Appendix A 255.0.0.0 for class A networks A 255.255.0.0 for class B networks 255.255.255.0 for class C networks 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).
Appendix A Using the Brother Web BRAdmin server software for IIS to configure the IP address A The Web BRAdmin server software is designed to manage all LAN/WAN Brother network connected devices. By installing the Web BRAdmin server software on a computer running IIS 1, administrators with a web browser can connect to the Web BRAdmin server, which then communicates with the device itself.
