BRAdmin Professional has additional features from BRAdmin Light. For more information and to download the software, visit us at http://solutions.brother.
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 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 1 This machine is compatible with IPv6, the next generation internet protocol. For more information on the IPv6 protocol, visit http://solutions.brother com. Other protocol 1 LLTD 1 The Link Layer Topology Discovery protocol (LLTD) lets you locate the Brother machine easily on the Windows Vista® network map. Your Brother machine will be shown with a distinctive icon and the node name. The default setting for this protocol is Off.
2 Configuring your machine for a network 2 Overview 2 Before using your Brother machine on your network, you must 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 Brother installer on the Brother CD-ROM as this will guide you through the software and network installation. Please follow the instructions in the supplied Quick Setup Guide.
Configuring your machine for a network How the IP address is assigned to your print server: 2 If you have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server in your network (typically a UNIX®/Linux or Windows® 2000/XP, Windows Vista® or Windows Server® 2003 network) the print server will automatically obtain its IP address from the DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services. Note On smaller networks, the DHCP server may be the router.
Configuring your machine for a network Gateway (and router) 2 A gateway is a network point that acts as an entrance to another network and sends data transmitted via the network to an exact destination. The router knows where to direct data that arrives at the gateway. If a destination is located on an external network, the router transmits data to the external network. If your network communicates with other networks, you may need to configure the Gateway IP address.
Configuring your machine for a network Setting the IP address and subnet mask 2 Using the BRAdmin Light utility to configure your machine as a network printer 2 BRAdmin Light 2 The BRAdmin Light utility is designed for initial setup of the Brother network connected devices.
