Introduction

Other Features 1

LDAP (ADS-2800W / ADS-3600W) 1

The LDAP protocol allows you to search for information, such as email addresses on your computer.
When you use the Scan to E-mail server function, you can use the LDAP search to find email addresses.
(See Changing LDAP Configuration Using Your Machine’s Control Panel (ADS-2800W / ADS-3600W)
on page 45.)

Scan to E-mail Server (ADS-2800W / ADS-3600W) 1

The Scan to E-mail Server function allows you to send scanned documents using the Internet. (See Scan to
E-mail Server (ADS-2800W / ADS-3600W) on page 59.)

Before using this function, you have to configure the necessary machine settings using the machine’s control
panel, BRAdmin Professional 3, or Web Based Management.

Security 1

Your Brother machine employs some of the latest network security and encryption protocols available.
(See Security Features on page 63.)

1

Wi-Fi Direct® (ADS-2800W / ADS-3600W) 1

Wi-Fi Direct® is one of the wireless configuration methods developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance®. This type of
connection is a Wi-Fi standard that allows devices to connect with each other without a wireless access point,
using a secured method. (See Use Wi-Fi Direct

®

on page 31.)

Overview 3

To connect your machine to your wireless network, we recommend following one of the setup methods
outlined in the Quick Setup Guide. Go to your model's page on the Brother Solutions Center at
solutions.brother.com/manuals

For more information about additional wireless configuration methods and settings, read this chapter. For
information on TCP/IP settings, see Change Your Machine’s Network Settings on page 3.

• To achieve optimum results with everyday document scanning, place the Brother machine as close to the
WLAN access point/router as possible with minimal obstructions. Large objects and walls between the two
devices and interference from other electronic devices can affect the data transfer speed of your
documents.

Due to these factors, wireless may not be the best method of connection for all types of documents and
applications. If you are scanning large files, such as multi-page documents with mixed text and large
graphics, consider using a USB cable for a faster throughput speed.

• Before configuring wireless settings, you need to know your Network Name (SSID) and Network Key.
