CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION CHAPTER ONE 11 1 TCP/IP Configuration Assigning TCP/IP Information Overview The TCP/IP protocol requires that each device on the network have it's own unique IP address. Use the following information to learn about IP address configuration. By default Brother Print / Fax servers have a sample IP address of 192.0.0.192, however, you can easily change this IP address number to match with the IP address details of your network.
CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION Using the FAX/MFC front panel to allocate an IP address Refer to chapter 2 for details on how to configure IP address information using the FAX/MFC control panel. By using the front panel of the FAX/MFC, you can program the IP address details at the same time that other FAX/MFC parameters are configured. Using BRAdmin and the TCP/IP Protocol to set the IP address If your PC has only the TCP/IP protocol, do the following: 1.
CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION Using BRAdmin and the IPX/SPX Protocol to set the IP address If your PC has Novell Netware Client software and is using the IPX/SPX protocol, do the following: 1. Select IPX/SPX filter in the left frame of the main window. 2. Check the Print / Fax server name (the default node name will be BRN_xxxxxx, where "xxxxxx" is the last six digits of the Ethernet address (MAC address)).
CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION Changing the IP Address using the BRAdmin application ® ® Start the BRAdmin application (from Windows 95/98/Me/NT 4.0/2000/XP). The BRAdmin application can use the IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols to communicate with the Brother Print / Fax server. As the default IP address of Brother Print / Fax servers is 192.0.0.192, the Print / Fax server will probably be incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme on your network.
CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION Using DHCP to Configure the IP address Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP address allocation. If you have a DHCP Server in your ® ® network (typically a Unix, Windows NT /2000 or Novell Netware network) the Print / Fax server will automatically obtains its IP address from DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.
CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION Using ARP to Configure the Print / Fax server IP Address If you are unable to use the BRAdmin application, FAX/MFC front panel and your network does not use a DHCP server, you can also use the ARP command. ARP is the simplest method of configuring the Print / Fax server IP address. The ® ARP command is available on Windows systems that have TCP/IP installed as well as Unix systems.
CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION Using RARP to Configure the IP Address Brother Print / Fax server IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (rarp) facility on your host computer.
CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION Using BOOTP to Configure the IP Address 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.
CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION Changing the IP Address settings with the TELNET Console You can also use the TELNET command to change the IP address. Using TELNET is effective way, when you change the IP address. But a valid IP address must already be programmed into the Print / Fax server. If you are using the TELNET, you will be expected to enter the password of the Print / Fax server. Press RETURN and enter the default password of "access" in response to the "#" prompt (it will not echo).
CHAPTER 2 FRONT PANEL SETUP MENU CHAPTER TWO 21 2 Front Panel Setup Menu LAN Main Setup Menu The LAN menu selections allow you to setup the Brother FAX/MFC for your network and Internet Fax configuration.

CHAPTER 2 FRONT PANEL SETUP MENU STATIC mode In this mode the FAX/MFC IP address must be manually assigned. Once entered the IP address is locked to the assigned address. AUTO mode In this mode, the FAX/MFC will scan the network for a DHCP server, if it can find one, and if the DHCP server is configured to allocate an IP address to the FAX/MFC, then the IP address supplied by the DHCP server will used. If no DHCP server is available, then the FAX/MFC will scan for a BOOTP server.
CHAPTER 2 FRONT PANEL SETUP MENU In order to enable BOOTP, simply use an editor to delete the "#" (if there is no "#", then BOOTP is already enabled). Then edit the BOOTP configuration file (usually /etc/bootptab) and enter the name, network type (1 for Ethernet), Ethernet address and the IP address, subnet mask and gateway of the Print / Fax server.
CHAPTER 2 FRONT PANEL SETUP MENU IP ADDRESS This field displays the current IP address of the FAX/MFC. If you have selected a Boot Method of STATIC, enter the IP address that you wish to assign to the FAX/MFC (check with your network manager for the IP address to use).

CHAPTER 12 UNIX PRINTING 121 CHAPTER TWELVE 12 Unix Printing Printing from Unix/Linux using TCP/IP Overview Brother Print / Fax servers are supplied with the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite. Since virtually all UNIX host computers support TCP/IP, this capability allows a printer to be shared on a UNIX Ethernet network. The Linux operating system uses the same setup procedures as standard Berkeley UNIX systems.
CHAPTER 12 UNIX PRINTING TCP/IP Brother Print / Fax servers appear to the network as a UNIX host computer with a unique IP address running the lpd, line printer daemon, protocol. As a result, any host computer that supports the Berkeley remote LPR command can spool jobs to Brother Print / Fax servers without the need for any special software on the host computer. For special applications, raw TCP ports are also available. The Brother NC-8100h Print / Fax server also support the FTP protocol.
CHAPTER 12 UNIX PRINTING General TCP/IP UNIX Host Configuration The configuration process for most UNIX systems is described in the following steps. As this process varies, we recommend that you refer to your system documentation (or man pages) for additional information. 1. Configure the /etc/hosts file on each UNIX host that needs to communicate with the Print / Fax server. Use your favorite editor to add an entry to the /etc/hosts file containing the IP address and node name of the device.
CHAPTER 12 UNIX PRINTING 2. Choose which Print / Fax server service you want to use. There are several types of services available on Brother Print / Fax servers. Binary services pass data through unmodified and are therefore required for PCL or PostScript rasterized graphics printouts. Text services add a carriage return at the end of each line for proper formatting of UNIX text files (which end in linefeed and do not have carriage returns).
CHAPTER 12 UNIX PRINTING An example of a typical printcap file: laser1|Printer on Floor 1:\ :lp=:\ :rm=BRN_310107:\ :rp=TEXT_P1:\ :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/laser1: Make sure this information is added to the end of the printcap file.
CHAPTER 12 UNIX PRINTING Linux Configuration If you do not wish to use the command line interface to configure your Linux distribution, you may wish to use the Linux Printer System Manager application on your GUI. To do this, do the following: 1. From the Linux Printer System Manager screen, click the "Add" button. 2. You will now be asked to specify which Printer type you are using, select the "Remote Unix (lpd) Queue" option and click "OK". 3.

CHAPTER 12 UNIX PRINTING IBM RS/6000 AIX Configuration The RS/6000 AIX operating system uses the smit program to set up the remote printer. The procedure is as follows for AIX 4.0 and later: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
CHAPTER 12 UNIX PRINTING Sun Solaris 2.x Configuration Sun Solaris 2.x uses the lpsystem and lpadmin programs for remote printer configuration: lpsystem -t bsd prnservername lpadmin -p queue -s prnservername!prnserverservice accept queue (not required on newer Solaris systems) enable queue (not required on newer Solaris systems) Where queue is the name of the local print queue. prnservername is the name of the Print / Fax server (must match the entry in the /etc/hosts file or IP address).
CHAPTER 12 UNIX PRINTING SCO UNIX Configuration To configure a printer in version Version 5.x of SCO Unix, use the SCOADMIN program. 1. Select Printers and then Print Manager 2. On the menu select Printer and then Add Remote followed by Unix… 3. Enter the IP address of the Print / Fax server and type in the printer name to be used to spool to. 4. Deselect "Use External remote Printing Protocol…" 5. Edit the /etc/printcap file to include formfeed add the text rp=lpaf SCO UNIX requires TCP/IP V1.
CHAPTER 12 UNIX PRINTING DEC TCP/IP Servers for VMS(UCX) You need to run the sys$system:ucx:$lprsetup command, specify a printer name, and then enter the Print / Fax server IP address as the remote system name. Specify one of the Print / Fax server services (see beginning of this section for options) as the remote system printer name (accept the defaults for other questions).
CHAPTER 12 UNIX PRINTING Other Systems Other systems use similar programs to set up Print / Fax servers. These programs will generally ask for the following information: Requested information: remote printer remote host computer name You should use: Binary or Text service name Any name (must match the name in the printcap file, if any) or in some cases, you may enter the Print / Fax server IP address here IP address of Print / Fax server.
CHAPTER 13 TROUBLESHOOTING CHAPTER THIRTEEN 13 13 Troubleshooting Overview This chapter describes procedures for troubleshooting problems you may encounter with a Brother Print / Fax server, it is divided into the following sections: 1. 2. 3. 4.
CHAPTER 13 TROUBLESHOOTING Installation problems If you cannot print over the network, check the following: 1. Make sure that the printer is powered on, is on-line and ready to print. Verify that the printer and the configuration are good by printing the configuration page. Refer to the NC-8100h Quick Network Setup Guide for information on how to print the configuration page on your Print / Fax server. If the test fails, check: a.
CHAPTER 13 TROUBLESHOOTING a. If you are using TCP/IP: Try pinging the Print / Fax server from the host operating system command prompt with the command: ping ipaddress Where ipaddress is the Print / Fax server IP address (note that in some instances it can take up to two minutes for the Print / Fax server load its IP address (after setting the IP address).
CHAPTER 13 TROUBLESHOOTING 3. If you cannot make any of the connections in step 2, check the following: a. Make sure the printer is powered on and on-line. b. Verify that the cabling, network connection, and print out a configuration page in the Network STATISTICS information to see if bytes are being transmitted and received. Check to see if there is LED activity. c. • • • No Light: If the LED (Link Activity) is off, then the Print / Fax server is not connected to the network.
CHAPTER 13 TROUBLESHOOTING Intermittent Problems If the Print / Fax server and printer start up OK, but you intermittently have problems printing, check the following: 1. If you can print small jobs but large graphics jobs are distorted or incomplete, make sure that you have adequate memory in your printer and the latest printer driver installed on your computer. The latest Brother printer drivers can be downloaded from http://solutions.brother.com. 2.
CHAPTER 13 TROUBLESHOOTING TCP/IP Troubleshooting If you are using TCP/IP and cannot print to the Print / Fax server and you have checked the hardware and network as described in the previous steps, then check the following: It is always a good idea to try following in order to eliminate the possibility of Setup errors. Turning off the printer and then again, Deleting and recreating the Print / Fax server and creating a new print queue in order to eliminate the possibility of setup errors. 1.
CHAPTER 13 TROUBLESHOOTING UNIX Troubleshooting 1. Make sure that the /etc/printcap file (if applicable) is typed in correctly. In particular, look for missing ":" and "\" characters, because a small error anywhere in the file can have major consequences. Also check the /usr/spool directory to make sure that you have created a valid spool directory. 2.
CHAPTER 13 TROUBLESHOOTING 6. If you are having trouble printing more than one job at a time, try increasing the IP timeout using the SET IP TIMEOUT command or using BRAdmin. 7. If text or PCL jobs are run together, try setting the service (remote printer) with EOT set to string number 2 (E). For example: SET SERVICE BRN_xxxxxx_P1 EOT 2 8. If the lines of a text file are staggered, make sure that you have specified a remote printer (rp) name of TEXT in your /etc/printcap file. 9.
