Introduction

Types of network connections

1

Network connection example

Generally there are two types of network connections: Peer-to-Peer and Network Shared environment.

Peer-to-Peer printing using TCP/IP

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.

WindowsR

Windows R

Windows R

TCP/IP			TCP/IP

1Router

2Network printer (your machine)

In a smaller network of 2 or 3 computers, we recommend the Peer-to-Peer printing method as it is easier to configure than the Network Shared printing method described on the following page. See Network Shared printing on page 5.

Each computer must use the TCP/IP Protocol.

The Brother machine needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration.

If you are using routers, the Gateway address must be configured on the computers and the Brother machine.

The Brother machine can also communicate with Macintosh®. (TCP/IP compatible operating systems)

4

Introduction

Network Shared printing

In a Network Shared environment, each computer sends data via a centrally controlled computer. This type

1

of computer is often called a “Server” or a “Print Server”. Its job is to control the printing of all print jobs.

1Client computer

2Also known as “Server” or “Print server”

3TCP/IP or USB (where available)

4Printer (your machine)

In a larger network, we recommend a Network Shared printing environment.

The “server” or the “print server” must use the TCP/IP print protocol.

The Brother machine needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration unless the machine is connected via the USB interface at the server.

5

Introduction

Protocols

1

TCP/IP protocols and functionalities

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. This protocol can be used in almost all operating systems such as Windows®, Macintosh® and Linux.

The following TCP/IP protocols are available on this Brother product.

Note

•You can configure the protocol settings by using the HTTP (web browser). See How to configure the print server settings using Web Based Management (web browser) on page 49.

•For security features, see Security methods for E-mail notification on page 51.

DHCP/BOOTP/RARP

By using the DHCP/BOOTP/RARP protocols, the IP address can be automatically configured.

Note

To use the DHCP/BOOTP/RARP protocols, please contact your network administrator.

APIPA

If you do not assign an IP address manually (using the control panel of the machine or the BRAdmin software) or automatically (using a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server), the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol will automatically assign an IP address from the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255.

DNS client

The Brother print server supports the Domain Name System (DNS) client function. This function allows the print server to communicate with other devices by using its DNS name.

LPR/LPD

Commonly used printing protocols on a TCP/IP network.

SMTP client

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) client is used to send E-mails via Internet or Intranet.

Port9100

Another commonly used printing protocol on a TCP/IP network.

6

Introduction

IPP

The Internet Printing Protocol (IPP Version 1.0) allows you to print documents directly to any accessible	1
printer via the internet.

mDNS

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

The Brother print server supports TELNET server for command line configuration.

SNMP

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used to manage network devices including computers, routers and Brother network ready machines in a TCP/IP network.

LLTD

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.

LLMNR

The Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution protocol (LLMNR) resolves the names of neighboring computers, if the network does not have a Domain Name System (DNS) server. The LLMNR Responder function works in both the IPv4 or IPv6 environment when using a computer that has the LLMNR Sender function such as

Windows Vista®.

Web services

The Web Services protocol enables Windows Vista® users to install the Brother printer driver by right clicking the machine icon from the Start / Network selection. (See Installation when using web services (For Windows Vista® users) on page 68). The Web Services also lets you check the current status of the machine from your computer.

Web server (HTTP)

The Brother print server is equipped with a built in web server that allows you to monitor its status or change some of its configuration settings using a web browser.

Note

We recommend Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0® (or greater) or Firefox® 1.0 (or greater) for Windows® and

Safari™ 1.0 for Macintosh®. Please also make sure that JavaScript and Cookies are always enabled in whichever browser you use. We recommend you upgrade to Safari™ 1.2 or greater to enable JavaScript. If a different web browser is used, make sure it is compatible with HTTP 1.0 and HTTP 1.1.

7

Introduction

FTP

The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) allows the Brother machine to scan black and white or color documents	1
directly to an FTP server located locally on your network or on the internet.

IPv6

This machine is compatible with IPv6, the next generation internet protocol. For more information on the IPv6 protocol, visit http://solutions.brother.com.

8

2 Configuring your machine for a network

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.

Note

If you do not wish to, or are unable to use the Brother installer or any of Brother’s software tools, you can also use the machine’s control panel to change network settings. For more information, see Control panel setup on page 18.

IP addresses, subnet masks and gateways

To use the machine in a networked TCP/IP environment, you need to configure the IP address and subnet mask. The IP address you assign to the print server must be on the same logical network as your host computers. If it is not, you must properly configure the subnet mask and the gateway address.

IP address

An IP address is a series of numbers that identifies each computer connected to a network. An IP address consists of four numbers separated by dots. Each number is between 0 and 255.

Example: In a small network, you would normally change the final number.

•192.168.1.1

•192.168.1.2

•192.168.1.3

9

Configuring your machine for a network

How the IP address is assigned to your print server:

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. 2

Note

On smaller networks, the DHCP server may be the router.

For more information on DHCP, BOOTP and RARP, see Using DHCP to configure the IP

address on page 63, Using BOOTP to configure the IP address on page 64 and Using RARP to configure the IP address on page 65.

If you do not have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server, the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol will automatically assign an IP address from the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. For more information on APIPA, see Using APIPA to configure the IP address on page 65.

If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the IP address of a Brother print server is 192.0.0.192. However, you can easily change this IP address number to match with the IP address details of your network. For information on how to change the IP address, see Setting the IP address and subnet mask on page 12.

Subnet mask

Subnet masks restrict network communication.

Example: Computer1 can talk to Computer 2

•Computer 1

IP Address: 192.168.1.2 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

•Computer 2

IP Address: 192.168.1.3 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Note

0 denotes that there is no limit to communication at this part of the address.

In the above example, we can communicate with anything that has an IP address that begins with 192.168.1.x.

10

Configuring your machine for a network

Gateway (and router)

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 at an external network, the router transmits data to the external network. If your network 2 communicates with other networks, you may need to configure the Gateway IP address. If you do not know the Gateway IP address then contact your Network Administrator.
