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, PhotoCapture Center™, Remote Setup and Status Monitor.
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®, Windows® 7 and Windows Server® 2003/2008 supporting the TCP/IP protocols and Macintosh (Mac OS X 10.4.11 - 10.6.x) supporting TCP/IP. Network scanning 1 You can scan documents over the network to your computer. (See Network Scanning in the Software User’s Guide.) Mac OS X 10.6.
Introduction BRAdmin Professional 3 (Windows®) 1 1 BRAdmin Professional 3 is a utility for more advanced management of network connected Brother devices. This utility can search for Brother products on your network and view the device status from an easy to read explorer style window that changes color identifying the status of each device. You can configure network and device settings along with the ability to update device firmware from a Windows® computer on your LAN.
Introduction Types of Network Connections 1 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 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 Network printer (your machine) In a larger network, we recommend a Network Shared printing environment.
Introduction Wireless network connection examples 1 1 Connected to a 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 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 this Brother product supports the TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) protocols. TCP/IP is the most popular set of protocols used for communication such as Internet and E-mail.
Introduction Custom Raw Port (Default is Port 9100) 1 1 Another commonly used printing protocol on a TCP/IP network. 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 10.4.11 - 10.6.x) SNMP 1 The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used to manage network devices including computers, routers and Brother network ready machines.

9 Troubleshooting 9 Overview 9 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/ Make sure that the following items are configured before reading this chapter. First check the following: The power cord is connected properly and the machine is turned on.
Troubleshooting I cannot complete the wireless network setup configuration. (continued) Question Interface Solution Is your Network Key correct? wireless Reconfirm and choose the correct Network Key. • The default Network Key may be provided on a label attached to the wireless access point/router. • See the instructions supplied with your wireless access point/router for information on how to find the Network Key.
Troubleshooting The machine is not found on the network during the MFL-Pro Suite installation. (continued) Question Interface Solution Are there any obstructions (walls or furniture, for example) between your machine and the wireless access point/router? wireless Move your machine to an obstruction-free area, or closer to the wireless access point/router.
Troubleshooting The machine cannot print or scan over the network. The machine is not found on the network even after successful installation. (continued) Question Interface Solution (Windows®) Confirming the IP address and the Subnet Mask using the Network Connection Repair Tool. Use the Network Connection Repair Tool to fix the machine's network settings. It will assign the correct IP address and the Subnet Mask.
Troubleshooting The machine cannot print or scan over the network. The machine is not found on the network even after successful installation. (continued) Question Interface Solution Are you connecting the Brother machine to the network using wireless capabilities? wireless Print the WLAN Report to confirm the state of a wireless connection. (For how to print, see Printing the WLAN Report on page 79.) If there is an error code on the printed WLAN report see Troubleshooting in the Quick Setup Guide.
Troubleshooting I want to check my network devices are working properly. Question Interface Solution Is your Brother machine, access point/router or network hub turned on? wired/ wireless Make sure you have confirmed all instructions in Make sure that the following items are configured before reading this chapter. on page 94. Where can I find the machine's network settings, such as IP address? wired/ wireless Printing the Network Configuration List.
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. Service (Example) Definition BINARY_P1 TCP/IP binary, NetBIOS service TEXT_P1 TCP/IP text service (adds carriage return after each line feed) BRNxxxxxxxxxxxx TCP/IP binary Where xxxxxxxxxxxx is your machine’s MAC Address / Ethernet Address.
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. To use ARP enter the following command at the command prompt: arp -s ipaddress ethernetaddress Where ethernetaddress is the Ethernet address (MAC address) of the print server and ipaddress is the IP address of the print server.
Appendix A Installation when using a Network Print Queue or Share (printer driver only) A Note If you are going to connect to a shared printer on your network, we recommend that you ask your system administrator about the queue or share name for the printer prior to installation. a b c d e f Start the CD-ROM installation menu program according to the Quick Setup Guide. Choose the model name and your language (if necessary), and then click Advanced. Click Printer Driver Only (for Network).
Appendix A Installation when using Web Services (Windows Vista® and Windows® 7) A Note • You must configure the IP address on your machine before you proceed with this section. If you have not configured the IP address, see Configuring your machine for a network with an Ethernet cable connection (DCP-J715W, MFC-J615W and MFC-J630W only) on page 9 first.
