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. 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 a router, the Gateway address must be configured on the computers and the Brother
machine.

Introduction
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.

Configuring your machine for a network 2
Overview2
Before using your Brother machine in a network environment, you must install the Brother software and also
configure the appropriate TCP/IP network settings on the machine itself. In this chapter, you will learn the
basic steps required to print over the network using TCP/IP protocol.
We recommend that you use the Brother installer on the Brother CD-ROM to install the Brother software as
this will guide you through the software and network installation. Please follow the instructions in the supplied
Quick Setup Guide.
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 Network menu on page 55.
IP addresses, subnet masks and gateways2
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 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 (typically UNIX®, Linux or Windows® 2000/XP,
®
Windows Vista
obtain its IP address from that server.
Note
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 131
, Windows® 7 or Windows Server® 2003/2008 network) the print server will automatically
10
Configuring your machine for a network
Using BOOTP to configure the IP address on page 132
Using RARP to configure the IP address on page 133.
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 133.
If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default 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 13.
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
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.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 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.

Overview3
To connect your printer to your wireless network, you need to follow the steps in the Quick Setup Guide or
the Network User’s Guide. We recommend that you use the Brother installer application on the CD-ROM
which we have provided with the printer. By using this application, you can easily connect your machine to
your wireless network and install the network software and printer driver which you need to complete the
configuration of your machine for a wireless network. You will be guided by the on-screen instructions until
you are able to use your Brother wireless network machine.
If you want to configure your printer without using the Brother installer application, please read this chapter
for more details on how to configure the wireless network settings. For information on TCP/IP settings, see
Setting the IP address and subnet mask on page 13. For Wireless configuration using the SecureEasySetup,
Wi-Fi Protected Setup or AOSS™ from the control panel menu, see Chapter 6. For Wireless configuration
using the PIN Method of Wi-Fi Protected Setup, see Chapter 7.
Note
• To achieve optimum results with normal every day document printing, place the Brother machine as
close to the network 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.
3
3
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.
18
Configuring your machine for a wireless network (For HL-3070CW)
Wireless network terms and concepts3
If you want to use your machine in a wireless network you must configure the machine to match the
settings of the existing wireless network. This section provides some of the main terms and concepts of
these settings, which may be helpful when you configure your machine for a wireless network.
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.
SSID3
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.
Channels3
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. For more information, see Wireless network (for HL-3070CW) on
page 140.
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 device, 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 below to see which authentication and encryption
methods your Brother wireless device supports.
3
Authentication methods3
The Brother machine supports the following methods:
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
machine uses the WEP keys as the pre-determined key.
19
Configuring your machine for a wireless network (For HL-3070CW)
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 encryption (WPA-Personal).
LEAP
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 authentication for CCXv3 networks. Does not use an inner authentication method.
• EAP-FAST/MS-CHAPv2
EAP-FAST authentication for CCXv4 networks. Uses MS-CHAPv2 for the inner authentication method.
• EAP-FAST/GTC
EAP-FAST authentication for CCXv4 networks. Uses GTC for the inner authentication method.
Encryption methods3
Encryption is used to secure the data that is sent over the wireless network. The Brother machine supports
the following encryption methods:
None
3
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 Wi-Fi authorized strong encryption standard.
CKIP
The original Key Integrity Protocol for LEAP by Cisco Systems, Inc.
20
Configuring your machine for a wireless network (For HL-3070CW)

Control panel features
Network menu8
Before using your Brother product in a network environment, you need to configure the correct TCP/IP
settings.
In this section, you will learn how to configure the network settings using the control panel, located on the
front of the machine.
The Network menu selections of the control panel allow you to set up the Brother machine for your network
configuration. Press any of the Menu buttons (+, -, OK or Back) to display the main menu. Then press + or -
to choose Network. Proceed to the menu selection you wish to configure. For additional infomation on the
menu see Function table and factory default settings on page 141.
Please note that the machine is supplied with the BRAdmin Light utility and Web Based Management (web
browser), which also can be used to configure many aspects of the network. See Changing the print server settings on page 16.
TCP/IP8
This menu has 7 sections: Boot Method, IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, IP Boot Tries, APIPA
and IPv6.
8
Boot Method8
This selection controls how the machine obtains an IP address. 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 Light utility or Web Based Management (web browser).

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 scanned
through APIPA facility, see Using APIPA to configure the IP address on page 133. After it is initially powered ON, it may take a few minutes for
the machine to scan the network for a server.
2
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.
3
RARP mode
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 133.
4
BOOTP mode
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 132.
5
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, Windows
from a DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002 compliant dynamic name services.
®
2000/XP, Windows Vista®, Windows® 7 network) the print server will automatically obtain its IP address
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 Network menu, BRAdmin applications or Web Based Management (web
browser).
• On smaller networks, the DHCP server may be the router.

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.
