B Index 26 iii
1 Types of network connections and protocols 1 1 Types of network connections 1 Wired network connection example 1 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 machine sharing.
Types of network connections and protocols 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, USB or parallel (where available) 4 Network machine (your machine) In a larger network, we recommend a Network Shared printing environment.
Types of network connections and protocols Protocols 1 1 TCP/IP protocols and functions 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 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 1 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. 1 NetBIOS name resolution 1 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 1 The TELNET protocol allows you to control the remote network devices on a TCP/IP network from your computer. 1 SNMP 1 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 the SNMPv3 protocol, see Security protocols on page 19.
Types of network connections and protocols SNTP 1 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 the Network User's Guide.) CIFS 1 1 The Common Internet File System is the standard way that computer users share files and printers in Windows®.
2 Configuring your machine for a network 2 IP addresses, subnet masks and gateways 2 2 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 2 An IP address is a series of numbers that identifies each device connected to a network.
Configuring your machine for a network Subnet mask 2 Subnet masks restrict network communication. Example: Computer 1 can talk to Computer 2 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.
Configuring your machine for a network IEEE 802.1x Authentication 2 IEEE 802.1x is an IEEE standard for wired and wireless network that limits an 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 have an access to 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 encrypt 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.
3 Wireless network terms and concepts 3 Specifying your network 3 SSID (Service Set Identifier) and channels 3 3 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 or ESSID (Extended Service Set Identifier). The SSID is a 32-byte or less value and is assigned to the access point.
Wireless network terms and concepts Authentication and Encryption methods for a personal wireless network 3 Personal wireless network is a small network, for example using your machine in a wireless network at home, without IEEE 802.1x support. If you want to use your machine in an IEEE 802.1x supported wireless network, see Authentication and Encryption methods for an enterprise wireless network on page 13.
Wireless network terms and concepts Network key 3 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. “WSLAN” (this is case sensitive). • 64 (40) bit hexadecimal: 3 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.
Wireless network terms and concepts Encryption methods 3 TKIP For TKIP, see TKIP on page 12. AES For AES, see AES on page 12.

A Appendix 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 RARP to configure the IP address A The Brother print server’s IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (RARP) facility on your host computer.
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 ARP to configure the IP address A 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 A Using the TELNET console to configure the IP address A 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.
