Introduction1 1 Introduction 1 1 Overview 1 Your 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 provides printing services for Windows® XP, Windows Vista®, Windows® 7, Windows Server® 2003/2008 supporting the TCP/IP protocols and Macintosh supporting TCP/IP (Mac OS X 10.4.11 to 10.6.x). The following chart shows what network features and connections are supported by each operating system.
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® XP, Windows Vista®, Windows® 7 and Windows Server® 2003/2008 supporting TCP/IP protocols and Macintosh supporting TCP/IP (Mac OS X 10.4.11 to 10.6.x). Management utilities 1 BRAdmin Light 1 BRAdmin Light is a utility for initial setup of Brother network connected devices.
Introduction Web BRAdmin (for Windows®) 1 1 Web BRAdmin is a utility for managing network connected Brother devices on your LAN and WAN. This utility can search for Brother products on your network, view the status and configure the network settings. Unlike BRAdmin Professional 3, which is designed for Windows® only, Web BRAdmin is a server based utility that can be accessed from any client PC with a web browser that supports JRE (Java Runtime Environment).
Introduction Types of network connections 1 1 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.
Introduction Wireless network connection examples (For HL-3075CW) 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 WINS 1 1 Windows Internet Name Service is an information providing service for the NetBIOS name resolution by consolidating an IP address and a NetBIOS name that is in the local network. LPR/LPD 1 Commonly used printing protocols on a TCP/IP network. SMTP client 1 Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) client is used to send E-mails via the Internet or Intranet. Custom Raw Port (default is Port9100) 1 Another commonly used printing protocol on a TCP/IP network.
Introduction Web services 1 1 The Web Services protocol enables Windows Vista® and Windows® 7 users to install the Brother printer driver by right-clicking the machine icon from the Network folder. See Installation when using Web Services (For Windows Vista® and Windows® 7 users) on page 127. The Web Services also let you check the current status of the machine from your computer.

Security features14 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 How to configure the print server settings using Web Based Management (web browser) on page 68. 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 4.0/5.0 for Macintosh. Please also make sure that JavaScript and Cookies are always enabled in whichever browser you use. If a different web browser is used, make sure it is compatible with HTTP 1.0 and HTTP 1.1.
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 We recommend to use HTTPS and SNMPv3 protocol for secure management. To use the HTTPS protocol, the following printer settings are required. A certificate and private key must be installed in the printer.
Security features c You can now access the printer using HTTPS. We recommend secure management (SNMPv3) be used along with the HTTPS protocol. If you use the SNMPv3 protocol, follow the steps below. Note You can also change the SNMP settings by using BRAdmin Professional 3 or Web BRAdmin. d e f g h Click Network Configuration. Enter a user name and a password. The default User Name is “admin” and the default Password is “access”. Click Configure Protocol.
Security features • You can manage the print server by using BRAdmin Professional 3, Web BRAdmin or Web Based Management (web browser) only. • We recommend secure SSL communication (HTTPS) be used. • Except for BRAdmin Professional 3 and Web BRAdmin, all applications that use SNMPv1/v2c will be restricted. To allow the use of SNMPv1/v2c applications, use SNMPv3 read-write access and v1/v2c read-only access or SNMPv1/v2c read-write access mode.
Security features Secure Management using BRAdmin Professional 3 (for Windows®) 14 To use the BRAdmin Professional 3 utility securely, you need to follow the points below. We strongly recommend to use the latest version of the BRAdmin Professional 3 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 machines the user authentication will not be secure.
Security features Secure Function Lock 2.0 (For HL-3075CW) 14 Secure Function Lock 2.0 from Brother helps you to save money and increase security by restricting the functions available on your Brother machine. Secure Function Lock allows you to configure passwords for selected users, granting them access to some, or all, of these functions, or limiting them to a page limit. This means that only authorized people can use them.
Security features c Enter an up to 15 digit alphanumeric group name or user name in the ID Number/Name box and then enter a four-digit password in the PIN box. d Uncheck the functions that you want to restrict in the Print box or the Others box. If you want to configure the maximum page count, check the On box in Page Limit, and then enter the number in the Max. box. Then click Submit.
Security features • The Secure Function Lock feature does not support the BR-Script 3 printer driver for printing. Setting up public mode 14 You can set up the public mode to restrict what functions are available for public users. Public users do not need to enter a password to access the features made available through this setting. a b Uncheck the check box for the function that you want to restrict in the Public Mode box. Click Submit.
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 print server. • IPPS is available for Windows® XP, Windows Vista®, Windows® 7 and Windows Server® 2003/2008. To use the IPPS protocol, the following printer settings are required. A certificate and private key must be installed in the printer.
Security features Using E-mail notification with user authentication 14 To use the E-mail notification function via secure SMTP server that requires a user authentication, you need to use POP before SMTP or SMTP-AUTH method. These methods prevent an unauthorized user from accessing the mail server. You can use Web Based Management (web browser), BRAdmin Professional 3 and Web BRAdmin to configure these settings.
Security features g You can configure the POP3/SMTP settings on this page. Note • You can also change the SMTP port number using Web Based Management. This is useful if your ISP (Internet Service Provider) implements the “Outbound Port 25 Blocking (OP25B)” service. By changing the SMTP port number to a specific number which your ISP is using for the SMTP server (for example, port 587), you would then be able to send an E-mail via the SMTP server.

AppendixA A Appendix A A Using services 0 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 Using BOOTP to configure the IP address 0 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; typemanbootpd or refer to your system documentation for information). BOOTP is usually started up via the /etc/inetd.
Appendix Using RARP to configure the IP address 0 A The Brother print server’s IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (RARP) facility on your host computer.
Appendix Using ARP to configure the IP address 0 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 MAC Address (Ethernet Address) of the print server and ipaddress is the IP address of the print server.
Appendix Using the TELNET console to configure the IP address 0 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 ipaddress at the command prompt of the system prompt, where ipaddress is the IP address of the print server. When you are connected, push the Return or Enter key to get the “#” prompt.
Appendix Using the Brother Web BRAdmin server software for IIS to configure the IP address 0 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.
Appendix Installation when using a Network Print Queue or Share 0 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. Installing the driver and choosing the correct printer queue or share name a Turn on your computer. (You must be logged on with Administrator rights.) Close any applications running before configuration.
Appendix Installation when using Web Services (For Windows Vista® and Windows® 7 users) A 0 The steps may vary depending on your operating system. 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 Setting the IP address and subnet mask on page 13 first. • Verify the host computer and print server are either on the same subnet, or that the router is properly configured to pass data between the two devices.
