Introduction

Types of network connections 1

Network connection example 1

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

Peer-to-Peer printing using TCP/IP 1

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.

Windows

TCP/IPTCP/IP

1 Router

2 Network 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).

Introduction

Network Shared printing 1

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 or USB (where available)

4 Printer (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.

Introduction

Protocols 1

TCP/IP protocols and functions 1

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 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 Using Web Based Management (web browser) to change the print/scan settings on page 14.

• For the protocols of security features, see Security protocols on page 47.

, Macintosh® and Linux.

DHCP/BOOTP/RARP 1

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 1

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 1

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 1

Commonly used printing protocols on a TCP/IP network.

SMTP client 1

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

Port9100 1

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

Introduction

IPP 1

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

mDNS 1

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 1

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

SNMP 1

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.

Web server (HTTP) 1

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.

Note

We recommend Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0

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.

(or greater) or Firefox® 1.0 (or greater) for Windows® and

FTP 1

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

IPv6 1

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

Configuring your network printer 2

Overview 2

Before you can use your Brother machine on your network, you need to 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 automatic installer on the Brother CD-ROM as this will guide you through the software and network installation.

If you do not wish to use the automatic installer, or you do not understand some of the terms used by the automatic installer, refer to the remainder of this chapter for more information.

Note

If you do not wish to, or are unable to use the automatic 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 16.

IP addresses, subnet masks and gateways 2

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 address 2

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

How the IP address is assigned to your print server: 2

If you have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server in your network (typically a UNIX®/Linux or Windows® 2000/XP, Windows Vista

from the DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.

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 79, Using BOOTP to configure the IP address on page 80 and Using RARP to configure the IP address on page 81.

, 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3

, Windows Server® 2003 network) the print server will automatically obtain its IP address

Configuring your network printer

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 81.

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 10.

Subnet mask 2

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.

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 at 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.

Before using your Brother product in a network environment, you need to configure the correct TCP/IP settings. For more information, see Configuring your network printer on page 8.

In this chapter, you will learn how to configure the network settings using the control panel, located on the front of the machine.

The LAN menu selections of the control panel allow you to set up the Brother machine for your network configuration. Press Menu, then press a or b to choose LAN. Proceed to the menu selection you wish to configure. See Function table and default factory settings on page 88.

Please note that the machine is supplied with the BRAdmin Light utility and Remote Setup applications for

BOOT Method 3

This selection controls how the machine obtains the IP address for itself. The default setting is Auto.

Note

• 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 Professional utility, Remote Setup or Web Based Management (web browser).

• You cannot change the BOOT method using the BRAdmin Light utility that was supplied on the CD-ROM with your Brother product. Please use the latest BRAdmin Professional utility that is available as a

download from http://solutions.brother.com/

. This utility is only available for Windows® users.

Auto mode 3

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 scanned through APIPA facility, see Using APIPA to configure the IP address on page 81. After it is initially powered ON, it may take a few minutes for the machine to scan the network for a server.

Static mode 3

In this mode the machine’s IP address must be manually assigned. Once entered the IP address is locked to the assigned address.

RARP mode 3

The Brother print server IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (RARP) service on your host computer. For more information on RARP, see Using RARP to configure the IP address on page 81. 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 BRN310107 Where the first entry is the 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 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 it is powered on.

based system, type the

BOOTP mode 3

BOOTP is an alternative to RARP that has the advantage of allowing configuration of the subnet mask and gateway. For more information on BOOTP, see Using BOOTP to configure the IP address on page 80. 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

Note

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), 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:

BRN310107 1 00:80:77:31:01:07 192.189.207.3

and:

BRN310107:ht=ethernet:ha=008077310107:\

ip=192.189.207.3:

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 printer is powered on.

DHCP mode

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP address

allocation. If you have a DHCP server in your network (typically a UNIX

Vista

network) the print server will automatically obtain its IP address from a DHCP server and register its

name with any RFC 1001 and 1002 compliant dynamic name services.

Control panel setup

IP Address 3

This field displays the current IP address of the machine. If you have selected 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 selected 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.
