Control panel setup3
Network menu3
The Network menu selections of the control panel allow you to set up the Brother machine for your network
configuration. (For more information on how to use the control panel, see the Basic User’s Guide.) Press
Menu, then press a or b to choose Network. Proceed to the menu selection you wish to configure. (For
additional information on the menu, see Function table and default factory settings on page 19.)
Please note that the machine is supplied with the BRAdmin Light utility, Web Based Management or Remote
Setup applications, which also can be used to configure many aspects of the network. (See Other Management Utilities on page 6.)
TCP/IP3
This menu has ten sections: Boot Method, IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Node Name, WINS
Config, WINS Server, DNS Server, APIPA and IPv6.
Boot Method3
3
This selection controls how the machine obtains an IP address.
Auto mode
In this mode, the machine 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 machine, then the IP address supplied by the DHCP server will
be used. If no DHCP server is available, then the machine will scan for a BOOTP server. If a BOOTP server
is available, and it is configured correctly, the machine will take its IP address from the BOOTP server. If a
BOOTP server is not available, the machine will scan for a RARP server. If a RARP server also does not
answer, the IP Address is set using the APIPA protocol. After the machine is initially powered ON, it may take
a few minutes for the machine to scan the network for a server.
Static mode
In this mode the machine’s IP address must be manually assigned. Once entered the IP address is locked to
the assigned address.
If you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the Boot Method to Static so that the print server has a static IP address. This will prevent the print server from
trying to obtain an IP address from any of these systems. To change the Boot Method, use the machine’s
control panel, BRAdmin Light utility, Web Based Management or Remote Setup.
3

8
Control panel setup
IP Address3
This field displays the current IP address of the machine. If you have chosen a Boot Method of Static,
enter the IP address that you wish to assign to the machine (check with your network administrator for the IP
address to use). If you have chosen a method other than Static, the machine will attempt to determine its
IP address using the DHCP or BOOTP protocols. The default IP address of your machine will probably be
incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme of your network. We recommend that you contact your
network administrator for an IP address for the network the unit will be connected on.
Subnet Mask3
This field displays the current subnet mask used by the machine. If you are not using DHCP or BOOTP to
obtain the subnet mask, enter the desired subnet mask. Check with your network administrator for the subnet
mask to use.
Gateway3
This field displays the current gateway or router address used by the machine. If you are not using DHCP or
BOOTP to obtain the gateway or router address, enter the address you wish to assign. If you do not have a
gateway or router, leave this field blank. Check with your network administrator if you are unsure.
3
Node Name3
You can register the machine name on the Network. This name is often referred to as a NetBIOS name; it will
be the name that is registered by the WINS server on your network. Brother recommends the name
“BRNxxxxxxxxxxxx”. (“xxxxxxxxxxxx” is your machine’s MAC Address / Ethernet Address.)
WINS Config3
This selection controls how the machine obtains the IP address of the WINS server.
Auto
Automatically uses a DHCP request to determine the IP addresses for the primary and secondary WINS
servers. You must set the Boot Method to Auto for this feature to work.
Static
Uses a specified IP address for the primary and secondary WINS servers.
WINS Server3
Primary WINS Server IP Address3
This field specifies the IP address of the primary WINS (Windows® Internet Name Service) server. If set to a
®
non-zero value, the machine will contact this server to register its name with the Windows
Service.
Internet Name

Control panel setup
Note
Note
Secondary WINS Server IP Address3
This field specifies the IP address of the secondary WINS server. It is used as a backup to the Primary WINS
server address. If the Primary server is unavailable, the machine still can register itself with a secondary
server. If set to a non-zero value, the machine will contact this server to register its name with the Windows
®
Internet Name Service. If you have a primary WINS server, but no secondary WINS server, simply leave this
field blank.
DNS Server3
Primary DNS Server IP Address3
This field specifies the IP address of the primary DNS (Domain Name System) server.
3
Secondary DNS Server IP Address
This field specifies the IP address of the secondary DNS server. It is used as a backup to the Primary DNS
server address. If the Primary server is unavailable, the machine will contact the Secondary DNS server. If
you have a primary DNS server, but no secondary DNS server, simply leave this field blank.
APIPA3
With this setting On the print server will cause the print server to automatically allocate a Link-Local IP address
in the range (169.254.1.0 - 169.254.254.255) when the print server cannot obtain an IP address through the
Boot Method you have set. (See Boot Method on page 8.) Choosing Off means the IP address does not
change, when the print server cannot obtain an IP address through the Boot Method you have set.
IPv63
This machine is compatible with IPv6, the next generation Internet protocol. If you want to use the IPv6
protocol, choose On. The default setting for IPv6 is Off. For more information on the IPv6 protocol, visit
http://solutions.brother.com/
• If you set IPv6 to On, turn off the power switch and then turn it back on to enable this protocol.
• After you choose IPv6 On, this setting will be applied to the wired LAN interface.
.
3
Ethernet3
Ethernet link mode. Auto allows the print server to operate in 100BASE-TX full or half duplex, or in 10BASE-T
full or half duplex mode by auto negotiation.
If you set this value incorrectly, you may not be able to communicate with your print server.
10
Control panel setup
Status3
This field displays the current wired network status.
MAC Address3
The MAC address is a unique number assigned for the machine’s network interface. You can check your
machine’s MAC address from the control panel.
E-mail / IFAX (if you download IFAX)3
This menu has five selections: Mail Address, Setup Server, Setup Mail RX, Setup Mail TX and
Setup Relay. As this section requires you to enter a lot of text characters, you may find that it is more
convenient to use Web Based Management and your favorite web browser to configure these settings. (See
Web Based Management on page 23.) These settings must be configured for the IFAX feature to work. (For
more details about Internet fax, see Internet fax (available as a download) on page 29.)
You can also access the character you want by repeatedly pressing the appropriate number key using the
machine’s control panel. (For entering text, see the Quick Setup Guide.)

Fax to Server (available as a download)3
The Fax to Server feature allows the machine to scan a document and send it over the network to a separate
fax server. The document will then be sent from the server as fax data to the destination fax number over
standard phone lines. When the Fax to Server feature is set to On all automatic fax transmissions from the
machine will be sent to the fax server for fax transmission. You can continue to send a fax directly from the
machine using the manual fax feature.
To send a document to the fax server the correct syntax for that server must be used. The destination fax
number must be sent with a prefix and a suffix that match the parameters used by the fax server. In most
cases the syntax for the prefix is “fax=” and the syntax for the suffix would be the domain name of the fax
server E-mail gateway. The suffix must also include the “@” symbol at the beginning of the suffix. The prefix
and the suffix information must be stored in the machine before you can use the fax to server function.
Destination fax numbers can be saved in the One Touch or Speed Dial locations or entered using the dial
pad (up to 20 digit numbers). For example if you wanted to send a document to a destination fax number of
123-555-0001 the following syntax would be used.

Internet fax (available as a download)5
Internet fax Overview5
Internet faxing (IFAX) allows you to send and receive fax documents using the Internet as the transport
mechanism. Documents are transmitted in E-mail messages as attached TIFF-F files. This means that
computers are also able to receive and send documents, providing that the computer has as an application
that can generate and view TIFF-F files, you can use any TIFF-F viewer application. Any documents sent via
the machine will automatically be converted into a TIFF-F format. If you wish to send and receive messages
to and from your machine, your mail application on the computer must be able to support the MIME format.

Important information on Internet fax5
Internet fax communication on a LAN system is basically the same as communication via E-mail; however, it
is different from fax communication using standard phone lines. The following is important information for
using Internet fax:
Factors such as the receiver’s location, structure of the LAN system, and how busy the circuit (such as the
Internet) is, may cause the system to take a long time to send back an error mail. (normally 20 sec. to 30
sec.).
In the case of transmission through the Internet, due to its low level of security, we recommend that you
use standard phone lines to send confidential documents.
If the receiver’s mail system is not compatible with the MIME format, you cannot transmit a document to
the receiver. Depending on the receiver’s server, there may be some cases in which the error mail will not
be sent back.
If the size of a document’s image data is too large, there is a possibility of unsuccessful transmission.
You cannot change the font or character size of Internet mail that you received.

Before sending an Internet fax5
To send an Internet fax, you can configure the following items from the control panel, Web Based
Management or Remote Setup.
Sender Subject (if needed)
Size Limit (if needed)
Notification (if needed) (For more information, see TX Verification Mail on page 37.)
How to send an Internet fax5
Sending an Internet fax is the same as sending a normal fax (For more information, see Sending a fax in the
Basic User’s Guide). If you have already programmed the addresses of the destination Internet fax machines
as One Touch or Speed-Dial locations, you can send the Internet fax by loading the document into the
machine. If you want to change the resolution, use the Fax Resolution key to set the preferred resolution,
choose a Speed Dial or One Touch number, and press Start (S.Fine is not supported for Internet fax).

Note
Note
Some E-mail servers do not allow you to send large E-mail documents (the System Administrator will often
place a limit on the maximum E-mail size). With this function enabled, the machine will display Out of Memory when trying to send E-mail documents over 1 Mbyte in size. The document will not be sent and
an error report will be printed. The document you are sending should be separated into smaller documents
that will be accepted by the mail server. (For your information, a 42 page document based on the ITU-T
Test Chart #1 test chart is approximately 1 Mbyte in size.)
Receiving E-mail or Internet fax5
Before receiving an Internet fax5
To receive an Internet fax, you should configure the following items from the control panel, Web Based
Management or Remote Setup:
Auto Polling (if needed)
Poll Frequency (if needed)
Header (if needed)
Delete Error Mail (if needed)
Notification (if needed) (For more information, see TX Verification Mail on page 37.)
How to receive an Internet fax5
There are 2 ways you can receive E-mail messages:
POP3 receiving at regular intervals
POP3 receiving (manually initiated)
Using POP3 receiving the machine must poll the E-mail server to receive the data. This polling can occur at
set intervals (for example, you can configure the machine to poll the E-mail server at 10 minute intervals) or
you can manually poll the server by pressing the Shift + Start keys.
If your machine starts to receive E-mail data, the LCD panel will reflect this activity. For example, you will see
Receiving on the LCD panel followed by xx E-mail(s). If you press the Shift + Start keys to manually
poll the E-mail server for E-mail data and there are no mail documents waiting to be printed, the machine will
display No Mail on the LCD panel for two seconds.
5
• If your machine is out of paper when receiving data, the received data will be held in the machine’s
memory. This data will be printed automatically after paper is re-inserted into the machine.
• If the received mail is not in a plain text format or an attached file is not in the TIFF-F format, the following
error message will be printed: “ATTACHED FILE FORMAT NOT SUPPORTED. FILE
NAME:XXXXXX.doc”. If the received mail is too large, the following error message will be printed: “E-MAIL
FILE TOO LARGE.”. If Delete POP Receive Error Mail is ON (default) then the error mail is automatically
deleted from the E-mail server.

TX Verification Mail5
Transmission Verification Mail supports two separate functions. Verification Mail for sending allows you to
request notification from the receiving station that the Internet Fax or E-mail was received and processed.
Verification Mail for receiving allows you to transmit a default report back to the sending station after
successfully receiving and processing an Internet Fax or E-mail.
To use this feature you must set the Notification option within the Setup Mail RX and Setup Mail TX options. You can configure these settings from the control panel of the machine.
Setup Mail TX5
You can set the Notification option in the Setup Mail TX option to either On or Off. When switched
to On an additional field of information is sent with the image data. This field is named “MDN”.
MDN (Message Disposition Notification):
This field requests the status of the Internet Fax/E-mail message after delivery through the SMTP (Simple
Mail Transfer Protocol) transport system. Once the message has arrived at the receiver, this data is used
when the machine or user reads or prints the received Internet Fax or E-mail. For example, if the message is
opened for reading or is printed the receiver sends back a notification to the original sending machine or user.
The receiver must support the MDN field in order to be able to send a notification report, otherwise the request
will be ignored.
5
Setup Mail RX5
There are three possible settings for this option On, MDN or Off.
Receive Notification “On”
When switched to “On” a fixed message is sent back to the sender to indicate successful reception and
processing of the message. These fixed messages depend on the operation requested by the sender.
Report messages consist of:
SUCCESS : Received From <mail address>
Receive Notification “MDN”
When switched to “MDN” a report as described above is sent back to the sender if the originating station sent
the “MDN” field to request confirmation.
Receive Notification “Off”
Off switches all forms of receive notification Off, no message is sent back to the sender regardless of the
request.
To receive the TX verification mail properly, you must configure the following settings.
• Sender
• Switch Notification in the Setup Mail TX to on.
• Switch Header in the Setup Mail RX to All or Subject+From+To.
• Receiver
• Switch Notification in the Setup Mail RX to on.

Sending an E-mail with user authentication6
This machine supports POP before SMTP and SMTP-AUTH methods to send an E-mail via an E-mail server
that requires a user authentication. These methods prevent an unauthorized user from accessing the E-mail
server. You can use Web Based Management, BRAdmin Professional 3 and Web BRAdmin to configure
these settings. You can use POP before SMTP and SMTP-AUTH methods for E-mail Notification, E-mail
reports and Internet fax sending.
E-mail server settings
6
You need to match the settings of SMTP authentication method with the method used by your E-mail server.
Contact your network administrator or your ISP (Internet Service Provider) about the E-mail server
configuration.
You will also need to check SMTP-AUTH of SMTP Server Authentication Method to enable the SMTP
server authentication.
SMTP settings
You can change the SMTP port number using Web Based Management. This is useful if your ISP (Internet
Service Provider) implements the “Outbound Port 25 Blocking (OP25B)” service.
By changing the SMTP port number to a specific number which your ISP is using for the SMTP server (for
example, port 587), you would then be able to send an E-mail via the SMTP server.
If you can use both POP before SMTP and SMTP-AUTH, we recommend choosing SMTP-AUTH.
If you choose POP before SMTP for the SMTP Server Authentication Method, you need to configure the
POP3 settings. You can also use the APOP method if needed.

Network Shared printing1
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, USB or parallel (where available)
4 Network machine (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 or the parallel interface at the server.

Note
Note
Protocols1
TCP/IP protocols and functions1
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 the Brother machine 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
The following TCP/IP protocols are available on the Brother machine.
• You can configure the protocol settings by using the HTTP interface (web browser). (See the Network User's Guide.)
• To find what protocols your Brother machine supports, see the Network User's Guide.

Note
Configuring your machine for a network2
IP addresses, subnet masks and gateways2
To use the machine in a networked TCP/IP environment, you need to configure its 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 address2
An IP address is a series of numbers that identifies each device 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
How the IP address is assigned to your print server:2
If you have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server in your network the print server will automatically obtain its IP
address from that server.
On smaller networks, the DHCP server may also be the Router.
For more information on DHCP, BOOTP and RARP, see:
Using DHCP to configure the IP address on page 21.
Using BOOTP to configure the IP address on page 23.
Using RARP to configure the IP address on page 22.
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 23.

Configuring your machine for a network

Subnet mask2
Subnet masks restrict network communication.
Example: Computer 1 can talk to Computer 2
•Computer 1
IP Address: 192.168. 1. 2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.000
•Computer 2
IP Address: 192.168. 1. 3
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.000
Where the 0 is in the Subnet mask, there is no limit to communication at this part of the address. What this
means in the above example is, we can communicate with any device that has an IP address that begins with
192.168.1.x. (where x. are numbers between 0 and 255).
Gateway (and router)2
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 on an external network, the router transmits data to the external network. If your network
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.

IEEE 802.1x Authentication2
IEEE 802.1x is an IEEE standard for wired and wireless network that limits an access from unauthorized
network devices. Your Brother machine (supplicant) sends an authentication request to a RADIUS server
(Authentication server) through your access point (Authenticator). After your request has been verified by the
RADIUS server, your machine can have an access to the network.
Authentication methods2
LEAP (For wireless network)
Cisco LEAP (Light Extensible Authentication Protocol) has been developed by Cisco Systems, Inc. which
uses a user ID and password for authentication.
EAP-FAST
EAP-FAST (Extensible Authentication Protocol-Flexible Authentication via Secured Tunnel) has been
developed by Cisco Systems, Inc. which uses a user ID and password for authentication, and symmetric
key algorithms to achieve a tunneled authentication process.
The Brother machine supports the following inner authentications:
• EAP-FAST/NONE
• EAP-FAST/MS-CHAPv2
• EAP-FAST/GTC
EAP-MD5 (For wired network)
EAP-MD5 (Extensible Authentication Protocol-Message digest algorithm 5) uses a user ID and password
for challenge-response authentication.
PEAP
PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol) has been developed by Microsoft Corporation, Cisco
Systems and RSA Security. PEAP creates an encrypt SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)/TLS (Transport Layer
Security) tunnel between a client and an authentication server, for sending a user ID and password. PEAP
provides mutual authentication between the server and the client.
The Brother machine supports the following inner authentications:
• PEAP/MS-CHAPv2
• PEAP/GTC
9
Configuring your machine for a network
2
EAP-TTLS
EAP-TTLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol Tunneled Transport Layer Security) has been developed
by Funk Software and Certicom. EAP-TTLS creates a similar encrypt SSL tunnel to PEAP, between a
client and an authentication server, for sending a user ID and password. EAP-TTLS provides mutual
authentication between the server and the client.
The Brother machine supports the following inner authentications:
• EAP-TTLS/CHAP
• EAP-TTLS/MS-CHAP
• EAP-TTLS/MS-CHAPv2
• EAP-TTLS/PAP
EAP-TLS
EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol Transport Layer Security) requires digital certificate
authentication both at a client and an authentication server.

Wireless network terms and concepts3
Specifying your network3
SSID (Service Set Identifier) and channels3
You need to configure the SSID and a channel to specify the wireless network you want to connect to.
SSID
Each wireless network has its own unique network name and it is technically referred to as SSID or ESSID
(Extended Service Set Identifier). The SSID is a 32-byte or less value and is assigned to the access point.
The wireless network devices you want to associate to the wireless network should match the access
point. The access point and wireless network devices regularly send wireless packets (referred to as a
beacon) which has the SSID information. When your wireless network device receives a beacon, you can
identify the wireless network that is close enough for the radio waves to reach your device.
Channels
Wireless networks use channels. Each wireless channel is on a different frequency. There are up to 14
different channels that can be used when using a wireless network. However, in many countries the
number of channels available are restricted.
Security terms3
Authentication and encryption3
Most wireless networks use some kind of security settings. These security settings define the authentication
(how the device identifies itself to the network) and encryption (how the data is encrypted as it is sent on the
network). If you do not correctly specify these options when you are configuring your Brother wireless machine, it will not be able to connect to the wireless network. Therefore care must be taken when
configuring these options. Please refer to the information in the Network User's Guide to see which
authentication and encryption methods your Brother wireless machine supports.
11
Wireless network terms and concepts

Authentication and Encryption methods for a personal wireless network3
Personal wireless network is a small network, for example using your machine in a wireless network at home,
without IEEE 802.1x support.
If you want to use your machine in an IEEE 802.1x supported wireless network, see Authentication and Encryption methods for an enterprise wireless network on page 13.
Authentication methods3
Open system
Wireless devices are allowed to access the network without any authentication.
Shared key
A secret pre-determined key is shared by all devices that will access the wireless network.
The Brother wireless machine uses the WEP key as the pre-determined key.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
Enables a Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-shared key (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK), which enables the Brother
wireless machine to associate with access points using TKIP for WPA-PSK or AES for WPA-PSK and
WPA2-PSK (WPA-Personal).
Encryption methods3
None
No encryption method is used.
WEP
By using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), the data is transmitted and received with a secure key.
TKIP
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides per-packet key mixing a message integrity check and
rekeying mechanism.
AES
®
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is the Wi-Fi
authorized strong encryption standard.
12
Wireless network terms and concepts
3
Network key3
Open system/Shared key with WEP
This key is a 64-bit or 128-bit value that must be entered in an ASCII or hexadecimal format.
• 64 (40) bit ASCII:
Uses 5 text characters. e.g. “WSLAN” (this is case sensitive).
• 64 (40) bit hexadecimal:
Uses 10 digits of hexadecimal data. e.g. “71f2234aba”
• 128 (104) bit ASCII:
Uses 13 text characters. e.g. “Wirelesscomms” (this is case sensitive)
• 128 (104) bit hexadecimal:
Uses 26 digits of hexadecimal data. e.g. “71f2234ab56cd709e5412aa2ba”
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK and TKIP or AES
Uses a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) that is 8 or more characters in length, up to a maximum of 63 characters.
Authentication and Encryption methods for an enterprise wireless network3
Enterprise wireless network is a large network, for example using your machine in a business enterprise
wireless network, with IEEE 802.1x support. If you configure your machine in an IEEE 802.1x supported
wireless network, you can use following authentication and encryption methods.

Using servicesA
A service is a resource that can be accessed by computers that wish to print to the Brother print server. The
Brother print server provides the following predefined services (do a SHOW SERVICE command in the
Brother print server remote console to see a list of available services): Enter HELP at the command prompt
for a list of supported commands.

Other ways to set the IP address (for advanced users and
administrators)
Using DHCP to configure the IP addressA
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP address
allocation. If you have a DHCP server in your 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.
If you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the Boot Method
to static so that the print server has a static IP address. This will prevent the print server from trying to
obtain an IP address from any of these systems. To change the Boot Method, use the machine’s control
panel Network menu (for LCD models), BRAdmin applications, Remote Setup or Web Based Management
(web browser).

Appendix A

Using RARP to configure the IP addressA
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:
00:80:77:31:01:07 BRN008077310107 (or BRW008077310107 for a wireless network)
Where the first entry is the MAC Address (Ethernet Address) of the print server and the second entry is the
name of the print server (the name must be the same as the one you put in the /etc/hosts file).
If the RARP daemon is not already running, start it (depending on the system the command can be rarpd,
rarpd -a, in.rarpd -a or something else; type man rarpd or refer to your system documentation for
additional information). To verify that the RARP daemon is running on a Berkeley UNIX based system, type
the following command:
ps -ax | grep -v grep | grep rarpd
For AT&T UNIX-based systems, type:
ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep rarpd
The Brother print server will get the IP address from the RARP daemon when the machine is powered on.
22
Appendix A

Note
Using BOOTP to configure the IP addressA
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.conf file, so you may need to enable it by removing the “#” in front of the bootp entry in that
file. For example, a typical bootp entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file would be:
#bootp dgram udp wait /usr/etc/bootpd bootpd -i
Depending on the system, this entry might be called “bootps” instead of “bootp”.
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), MAC Address (Ethernet Address) and the IP address, subnet mask and gateway of
the print server. Unfortunately, the exact format for doing this is not standardized, so you will need to refer
to your system documentation to determine how to enter this information (many UNIX systems also have
template examples in the bootptab file that you can use for reference). Some examples of typical
/etc/bootptab entries include: (“BRN” below is “BRW” for a wireless network.)
Certain BOOTP host software implementations will not respond to BOOTP requests if you have not included
a download filename in the configuration file. If this is the case, simply create a null file on the host and specify
the name of this file and its path in the configuration file.
As with RARP, the print server will load its IP address from the BOOTP server when the machine is powered
on.
Using APIPA to configure the IP addressA
The Brother print server supports the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol. With APIPA, DHCP
clients automatically configure an IP address and subnet mask when a DHCP server is not available. The
device chooses it's own IP address in the range 169.254.1.0 through to 169.254.254.255. The subnet mask
is automatically set to 255.255.0.0 and the gateway address is set to 0.0.0.0.
By default, the APIPA protocol is enabled. If you want to disable the APIPA protocol, you can disable it using
control panel of the machine (for LCD models), BRAdmin Light or Web Based Management (web browser).

Note
Using ARP to configure the IP addressA
If you are unable to use the BRAdmin application and your network does not use a DHCP server, you can
®
also use the ARP command. The ARP command is available on Windows
installed as well as UNIX systems. To use ARP enter the following command at the command prompt:
arp -s ipaddress ethernetaddress
ping ipaddress
Where ethernetaddress is the MAC Address (Ethernet Address) of the print server and ipaddress is
the IP address of the print server. For example:
®
Windows
Windows
systems
®
systems require the dash “-” character between each digit of the MAC Address (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 MAC Address
(Ethernet Address).
systems that have TCP/IP
arp -s 192.168.1.2 00:80:77:31:01:07
ping 192.168.1.2
You must be on the same Ethernet segment (that is, there cannot be a router between the print server and
operating system) to use the arp -s command.
If there is a router, you may use BOOTP or other methods described in this chapter to enter the IP address.
If your administrator has configured the system to deliver IP addresses using BOOTP, DHCP or RARP
your Brother print server can receive an IP address from any one of these IP address allocation systems.
In which case, you will not need to use the ARP command. The ARP command only works once. For
security reasons, once you have successfully configured the IP address of a Brother print server using the
ARP command, you cannot use the ARP command again to change the address. The print server will
ignore any attempts to do this. If you wish to change the IP address again, use a Web Based Management
(web browser), TELNET (using the SET IP ADDRESS command) or factory reset the print server (which
will then allow you to use the ARP command again).
24
Appendix A
A
Using the TELNET console to configure the IP addressA
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 the print server.
Type TELNET <command line> at the command prompt of the system prompt, where <command line>
is the IP address of the print server. When you are connected, push the Return or Enter key to get the “#”
prompt. Enter the password “access” (the password will not appear on the screen).
You will be prompted for a user name. Enter anything in response to this prompt.
You will then get the Local> prompt. Type SET IP ADDRESS ipaddress, where ipaddress is the
desired IP address you wish to assign to the print server (check with your network administrator for the IP
address to use). For example:
Local> SET IP ADDRESS 192.168.1.3
You will now need to set the subnet mask by typing SET IP SUBNET subnet mask, where subnet mask
is the desired subnet mask you wish to assign to the print server (check with your network administrator for
the subnet mask to use). For example:
Local> SET IP SUBNET 255.255.255.0
If you do not have any subnets, use one of the following default subnet masks:
255.0.0.0 for class A networks
255.255.0.0 for class B networks
255.255.255.0 for class C networks
The leftmost group of digits in your IP address can identify the type of network you have. The value of this
group ranges from 1 through 127 for Class A networks (e.g., 13.27.7.1), 128 through 191 for Class B networks
(e.g.,128.10.1.30), and 192 through 255 for Class C networks (e.g., 192.168.1.4).
If you have a gateway (router), enter its address with the command SET IP ROUTER routeraddress,
where routeraddress is the desired IP address of the gateway you wish to assign to the print server. For
example:
Local> SET IP ROUTER 192.168.1.4
Type SET IP METHOD STATIC to set the method of IP access configuration to static.
To verify that you have entered the IP information correctly, type SHOW IP.
Type EXIT or Ctrl-D (i.e., hold down the control key and type “D”) to end the remote console session.
