1 Introduction 1 1 Overview 1 The Brother machine can be shared on a 10/100 Mb wired 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, Remote Setup and Status Monitor. The following chart shows what network features and connections are supported by each operating system.
Introduction Network function 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™ and Windows Server® 2003 supporting the TCP/IP protocols and Macintosh® (Mac OS® X 10.2.4 or greater) supporting the TCP/IP protocols. Network scanning 1 You can scan documents over the network to your computer (See Network Scanning in the Software User’s Guide).
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 product on your network, view its status and configure the network settings. Unlike BRAdmin Professional, which is designed for Windows® only, the Web BRAdmin server utility 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 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 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 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.
2 Configuring your network printer 2 Overview 2 2 Before you can use your Brother machine on your network, you need to install the Brother software and also configure the appropriate TCP/IP network settings on the machine itself.

BOOTP is usually started up via the /etc/inetd.
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. This is done by editing the /etc/ethers file (if this file does not exist, you can create it) with an entry similar to the following: (“BRN” below is “BRW” for a wireless network.
Appendix A Windows® systems Windows® systems require the dash “-” character between each digit of the Ethernet address. arp -s 192.168.1.2 00-80-77-31-01-07 ping 192.168.1.2 UNIX®/Linux systems Typically, UNIX® and Linux systems require the colon “:” character between each digit of the Ethernet address. arp -s 192.168.1.2 00:80:77:31:01:07 ping 192.168.1.
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 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. Enter a password if you have set it.
Appendix A Installation when using a Network Print Queue or Share (printer driver only) 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 network printer on page 8 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. • Before installation, if you are using personal Firewall software (e.g.
