Home > Security > Network Security Features > Manage Your Network Machine Securely Using SSL/ TLS > Introduction to SSL/TLS Introduction to SSL/TLS Secure Socket Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) is an effective method of protecting data sent over a local or wide area network (LAN or WAN). It works by encrypting data, such as a print job, sent over a network, so anyone trying to capture it will not be able to read it.
Home > Security > Network Security Features > Manage Your Network Machine Securely Using SSL/ TLS > Introduction to SSL/TLS > Brief History of SSL/TLS Brief History of SSL/TLS SSL/TLS was originally created to secure web traffic information, particularly data sent between web browsers and servers.

You cannot use your machine until you log on to the machine using a user ID and password. Ad-Hoc Mode The mode of operation in a wireless network, in which all devices (machines and computers) are connected without an access point/router. Address Book Names and numbers you have stored for easy dialling.
Home > Glossary Authentication Methods for a Personal Wireless Network A personal wireless network is a small network (such as a home wireless network) without IEEE 802.1x support. • Open system Wireless devices are allowed to access the network without any authentication. • Shared key A secret pre-determined key is shared by all devices that will access the wireless network. The Brother wireless machine uses the WEP key as the pre-determined key.

Home > Glossary BT Call Sign A subscriber service purchased from the telephone company in the U.K. that gives you another phone number on an existing phone line. The Brother machine uses the new number to simulate a dedicated fax line. CA A Certificate Authority (CA) is an entity that issues digital certificates (especially X.509 certificates) and vouches for the binding between the data items in a certificate.
Home > Glossary Coding Method Method of coding the information contained in the document. All fax machines must use a minimum standard of Modified Huffman (MH). Your machine is capable of greater compression methods, Modified Read (MR), Modified Modified Read (MMR) and JBIG, if the receiving machine has the same capability. Communication Error (or Comm. Error) An error during fax sending or receiving, usually caused by line noise or static.
Home > Glossary Digital Signature A Digital Signature is a value computed with a cryptographic algorithm and appended to a data object in such a way that any recipient of the data can use the signature to verify the data's origin and integrity. Distinctive Ring This feature is available only in the USA and Canada. A subscriber service purchased from the telephone company that gives you another telephone number on an existing telephone line.
Home > Glossary When using Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) the data is transmitted and received with a secured key. • TKIP Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) provides per-packet key mixing a message integrity check and rekeying mechanism. • AES Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) provides stronger data protection using a symmetric-key encryption. • IEEE 802.11n does not support either WEP or TKIP as an encryption method. • To connect to your wireless network using IEEE 802.
Home > Glossary Fax Tones The signals sent by sending and receiving fax machines while communicating information. Fax/Tel You can receive faxes and telephone calls. Do not use this mode if you are using a telephone answering device (TAD). Fine Resolution Resolution is 203 × 196 dpi. It is used for small print and graphs. FTP The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) allows the Brother machine to scan monochrome or colour documents directly to an FTP server located locally on your network or on the Internet.
Home > Glossary IEEE 802.1x IEEE 802.1x is a networking authentication standard used to connect to a wired or wireless LAN. It restricts connections which are not authentic and only users authenticated by a central authority are allowed to be connected. Infrastructure Mode The mode of operation in a wireless network, in which all devices (machines and computers) are connected via an access point/router.
Home > Glossary IPv6 IPv6 is the next generation Internet protocol. For more information on the IPv6 protocol, go to your model's page on the Brother Solutions Center at support.brother.com. Journal Period The pre-programmed time period between automatically printed Fax Journal Reports. You can print the Fax Journal on demand without interrupting the cycle. LEAP Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP) is a proprietary EAP method developed by Cisco Systems, Inc.
Home > Glossary The receiver must support the MDN field to be able to send a notification report, otherwise the request will be ignored. mDNS Multicase DNS (mDNS) allows the Brother print server to configure itself to work in an OS X Simple Network Configuration system automatically. Memory Receive Receives faxes into the machine's memory when the machine is out of paper.
Home > Glossary Network PC-FAX Use Network PC-FAX to send a file from your computer as a fax. Windows users can also receive faxes via PCFAX. Network Remote Setup The Remote Setup software allows you to configure network settings from either a Windows or Mac computer. Network Shared Printing Network Shared Printing is a type of printing in a network shared environment. In a network shared environment, each computer sends data via a server or print server.
Home > Glossary The Brother machine supports the following inner authentications: • PEAP/MS-CHAPv2 • PEAP/GTC Peer-to-Peer Peer-to-Peer is a type of printing in a peer-to-peer environment. In a peer-to-peer environment, each computer sends and receives data directly to and from each device. There is no central server controlling access or machine sharing. Photo resolution (Mono only) A resolution setting that uses varying shades of grey for the best representation of photographs.
Home > Glossary Remote Access Code Your own four-digit code (– – –*) that allows you to call and access your machine from a remote location. Remote Activation Code (Fax/Tel Mode Only) Press this code (*51) when you answer a fax call on an extension or external telephone. Remote Deactivation Code (Fax/Tel Mode only) When the machine answers a voice call, it pseudo/double-rings. You can pick up at an extension telephone by pressing this code (#51).
Home > Glossary Secure Function Lock 3.0 Secure Function Lock 3.0 increases security by restricting the use of functions. Settings Tables At-a-glance instructions that show all the settings and options that are available for setting up your machine. Shared Key Cryptosystem A Shared Key Cryptosystem is a branch of cryptography involving algorithms that use the same key for two different steps of the algorithm (such as encryption and decryption).
Home > Glossary information. When your wireless network device receives a beacon, you can identify the wireless network that is close enough for the radio waves to reach your device. SSL/TLS Secure Socket Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) is an effective method of protecting data that is sent over a local or wide area network. SSL/TLS works by encrypting data, such as a print job, sent over a network, so anyone trying to capture it will not be able to read it .
Home > Glossary Super Fine resolution (Mono only) 203 × 392 dpi. Best for very small print and line art. TAD (Telephone Answering Device) You can connect an external TAD to your machine. TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the most popular set of protocols used for communication, such as Internet and email. This protocol can be used in almost all operating systems, including Windows, Windows Server, OS X and Linux®.
Home > Glossary Vertical Pairing Vertical Pairing is a technology for Windows that allows your Vertical Pairing-supported wireless machine to connect to your Infrastructure network using the PIN Method of Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ and the Web Services feature. It also enables printer driver installation from the printer icon in the Add a device screen.
Home > Glossary WINS Server Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) Server maps IP addresses to computer names (NetBIOS names) in a Windows network. WLAN Report The WLAN Report prints your machine’s wireless status report. If the wireless connection fails, check the error code on the printed report.
