Introduction 1
Network features 1
Your Brother machine can be shared on a 10/100 MB wired or IEEE 802.11b/g wireless Ethernet network
using the internal network print server. The print server supports various functions and methods of connection
depending on the operating system you are running on a network supporting TCP/IP. The following chart
shows what network features and connections are supported by each operating system.
Although the Brother machine can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one connection
method can be used at a time.

BRPrint Auditor (Windows®) 2
The BRPrint Auditor software brings the monitoring power of Brother network management tools to locally
connected machines. This utility allows a client computer to collect usage and status information from a
Brother machine connected via the parallel or USB interface. The BRPrint Auditor can then pass this
information to another computer on the network running BRAdmin Professional 3 or Web BRAdmin 1.45 or
greater. This allows the administrator to check items such as page counts, toner and drum status and the
firmware version. In addition to reporting to Brother network management applications this utility can E-mail
the usage and status information directly to a predefined E-mail address in a CSV or XML file format (SMTP
Mail support required). The BRPrint Auditor utility also supports E-mail notification for reporting warning and
error conditions.

Configuring your machine for a wireless

network (For HL-2280DW, DCP-7070DW
and MFC-7860DW)
Overview 3
To connect your machine to your wireless network, we recommend you to follow the steps in the Quick Setup
Guide using WPS or AOSS™ (Push Button Configuration). By using this method, you can easily connect your
machine to your wireless network.
Please read this chapter for additional methods on how to configure the wireless network settings. For
information on TCP/IP settings, see How to change your machine’s network settings (IP address, Subnet
mask and Gateway) on page 3.
• To achieve optimum results with normal everyday document printing, 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 as well as 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 printing large files, such as multi-page documents with mixed text and large
graphics, you may want to consider choosing wired Ethernet for a faster data transfer, or USB for the
fastest throughput speed.

• Although the Brother machine can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one connection
method can be used at a time.
• Before configuring wireless settings, you will need to know your Network name: (SSID, ESSID) and
Network Key.

Configuring your machine for a wireless network (For Infrastructure mode and Ad-hoc mode) 3
• If you are going to connect your Brother machine to your network, we recommend that you contact your
system administrator prior to installation. You must know your wireless network settings before you
proceed with this installation.
• If you have previously configured the wireless settings of the machine, you must reset the network LAN
settings before you can configure the wireless settings again. Press Menu, a or b to choose Network,
press OK. Press a or b to choose Network Reset, press OK. Press 1 to reset and then press 1 to accept
the change. The machine will restart automatically.
Using the Setup Wizard from the control panel 3
You can configure your Brother machine by using the Setup Wizard function. This is located in the
Network menu on the machine’s control panel.

If you are configuring your machine using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (PIN Method), see Using the PIN Method
of Wi-Fi Protected Setup on page 20.
Other methods of configuration from the control panel:
• To configure your machine for an existing wireless network using the SSID and Network Key (if
required), see the Quick Setup Guide.
• If your WLAN access point/router is set to not broadcast the SSID name, see Configuring your machine
when the SSID is not broadcast on page 17.
Using WPS or AOSS™ from the control panel menu to configure your machine for a wireless network (Push Button Configuration) 3
If your WLAN access point/router supports either Wi-Fi Protected Setup (PBC1) or AOSS™, you can
configure the machine easily without knowing your wireless network settings. Your Brother machine has the
WPS/AOSS™ menu on the control panel. See the Quick Setup Guide for more information.
