Introduction 1
Overview 1
The LDAP protocol allows you to search for information such as fax numbers and E-mail addresses from your
server. When you use the Fax, I-Fax or Scan to E-mail server features, you can use the LDAP search to find
fax numbers or E-mail addresses.
Every E-mail program has a personal address book, but how do you look up an address for someone who's
never sent you an E-mail? How can an organization keep one centralized up-to-date phone book that
everybody has access to? The solution is to have LDAP. LDAP, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, is an
Internet protocol that E-mail and other programs use to look up information from a directory server on your
network. So, instead of having to write in the recipients E-mail address or have to find it from another source,
you can search for it using LDAP direct from the control panel of the multifunction machine.
Benefits to the customer 1
It simplifies the process of sending a fax or scanning a document to E-mail through its effective search
facility.
It can save time, particularly if the recipients E-mail address if unknown to the sender.

Browser
Changing the LDAP configuration 2
We recommend to use Windows® Internet Explorer® 7.0/8.0 or Firefox® 3.6 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.
a Start your web browser.
b Type “http://machine’s IP address/” into your browser's address bar (where “machine’s IP address” is the
IP address of the machine or the print server name).
For example: http://192.168.1.2/
c No password is required by default. If you have previously set a password, enter it and press .
d Click Network.
2
e Click Protocol.
f Check LDAP and then click Submit.
g Restart the machine to activate the configuration.

1 This is the location of your LDAP server.
2 Change the port if necessary. (389 is the typical port number of LDAP).
If you want to connect to the Global Catalog, enter the port number 3268.
3Enter Search Root. This is the place to start a search. For example; if the domain name of the Active
Directory server is set to “local.example.com”, the Search Root could be such as “cn=Users, dc=local,
dc=example, dc=com”.
If your server supports LDAPv3, you can automatically obtain the Search Root by pressing
Fetch DNs.

4 Select Simple method in the Authentication section, and specify Username
and Password1. In
the case of connecting to the Active Directory server, enter the DN (Distinguished Name) format. (e.g.
“cn=username, cn=Users, dc=local, dc=example, dc=com ”)
5 This is how many seconds the machine will wait for a response from the LDAP server.
6 Enter the attribute type for name, E-mail address and fax number as used on the LDAP server.

This selection will only be available depending on the authentication method used.

Note
i After you have configured the LDAP settings, click Submit. Make sure that the Status is OK on the Test
Result page.
• The LDAP function of this machine supports LDAPv3.
• You need to use Kerberos Authentication or Simple Authentication to communicate with your LDAP
server.
If the LDAP server supports Kerberos Authentication, we recommend to choose Kerberos for the
Authentication setting. It provides strong authentication between the LDAP server and your machine.
You must configure the protocol (network time server), or you must set the date, time and time zone
correctly on the control panel for Kerberos Authentication. The time must match the time on the server
used for the Kerberos Authentication. (For information about setting, see Synchronize with SNTP server
uu page 8.)
• SSL/TLS is not supported.
• For the details of each item, see the Help Text in the Web Based Management.

Configuring your machine to communicate with your E-mail server 2
You must also configure your Brother machine to communicate with your E-mail server.
a Start your web browser.
b Type “http://machine’s IP address/” into your browser's address bar (where “machine’s IP address” is the
IP address of the machine or the print server name).
For example: http://192.168.1.2/
c No password is required by default. If you have previously set a password, enter it and press .
d Click Network.

1 This is the location of your SMTP server and associated SMTP port address. The standard port
number for SMTP is 25.
2 If your SMTP server requires authentication, input the necessary information here.
3 You can choose the encryption method between the machine and the SMTP server.
4 Some features of this machine, like I-Fax, allow you to send and receive E-mails to it. Assign your
printer an E-mail address to make use of these features.
5 If you use POP3, enter your POP3 details in here. The standard port number for this E-mail system
is 110.
6 Click here if you use APOP (a more secure version of POP3).
7 You can choose the encryption method between the machine and the POP3 server.
8 This is the time which the multifunction machine will wait for each section of a segmented message
before sending them all. If the message is only part complete, the part complete message will be sent.
h After you have finished changing the settings, click Submit.

i After a short while you will be asked if you want to send a test E-mail to ensure a connection has been
established with your E-mail server.
Do one of the following:
If you want to test the connectivity, enter an E-mail address and click Submit. Go to step j.
If you want to send a test E-mail, click Send Test E-mail.
If you do not want to test the connectivity, uncheck both test E-mail check boxes and then click Submit.
j After a few moments the following screen appears if the connections to the E-mail server were
successful. Click OK.
If they were not successful, go back and check your settings.
