Overview 3

To connect your machine to your wireless network, we recommend following one of the setup methods outlined in the Quick Setup Guide.

The wireless setup method using the installer CD-ROM and a USB cable is the easiest method for setup.

For additional wireless configuration methods, please read this chapter for more details 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 4.

• 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 fastest throughput speed.

For Macintosh users, you can download Brother's latest BRAdmin Light utility from http://solutions.brother.com/.

TCP/IP 4

If you connect the machine with a network cable to your network, use the Wired LAN menu selections. If you connect the machine to a wireless Ethernet network, use the WLAN menu selections.

Boot Method 4

or Web Based Management

This selection controls how the machine obtains an IP address.

Auto mode 4

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, 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 4

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, or Web Based Management.

IP Address 4

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.

Control panel setup

NOTE

Subnet Mask 4

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.

Gateway 4

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.

IP Boot Tries 4

This field displays the number of attempts the machine will try to obtain an IP address when the Boot Method is set to any setting except Static.

APIPA 4

The setting of On 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 35.) 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.

IPv6 4

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.

Security features 6

Overview 6

In today’s world, there are many security threats to your network and the data that travels over it. Your Brother machine employs some of the latest network security and encryption protocols available today. These network features can be integrated into your overall network security plan to help protect your data and prevent unauthorized access to the machine. This chapter explains how to configure them.

You can configure the following security features:

 Managing your network machine securely using SSL/TLS (See Managing your network machine securely

using SSL/TLS on page 67.)

 Managing your network machine securely using SNMPv3 protocol (See Secure Management using

Web Based Management (web browser) on page 67 or Secure Management using BRAdmin

 Using IEEE 802.1x authentication (See Using IEEE 802.1x authentication on page 73.)

 Certificate for secure management (See Using Certificates for device security on page 55.)

 Managing multiple certificates (See Managing multiple certificates on page 66.)

We recommend to disable the Telnet, FTP and TFTP protocols. Accessing the machine using these protocols is not secure. (For how to configure the protocol settings, see How to configure the machine settings using Web Based Management (web browser) on page 45.)

Security features

NOTE

Using Certificates for device security 6

Your Brother machine supports the use of multiple security certificates allowing secure management, authentication and communication with the machine. The following security certificate features can be used with the machine.

 SSL/TLS communication

 IEEE 802.1x authentication

 SSL communication for SMTP/POP3

The Brother machine supports the following certificates.

 Pre-installed certificate

Your machine has a pre-installed self-signed certificate.

Using this certificate, you can easily use the SSL/TLS communication without creating or installing a certificate.

The pre-installed self-signed certificate cannot protect your communication from spoofing. We recommend using a certificate that is issued by a trusted organization for better security.

 Self-signed certificate

This print server issues its own certificate. Using this certificate, you can easily use the SSL/TLS communication without having a certificate from a CA. (See Creating and installing a certificate on page 57.)

 Certificate from a CA

There are two methods for installing a certificate from a CA. If you already have a certificate from a CA or if you want to use a certificate from an external trusted CA:

• When using a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) from this print server. (See How to create a CSR on page 58.)

• When importing a certificate and a private key. (See Import and export the certificate and private key on page 64.)

 CA certificate

If you use a CA certificate that identifies the CA (Certificate Authority) itself and owns its private key, you must import a CA certificate from the CA, prior to the configuration. (See Import and export a CA certificate on page 65.)

• If you are going to use SSL/TLS communication, we recommend that you contact your system administrator first.

• When you reset the print server back to its default factory settings, the certificate and the private key that are installed will be deleted. If you want to keep the same certificate and the private key after resetting the print server, export them before resetting and re-install them. (See How to export the self-signed certificate, the certificate issued by a CA, and the private key on page 65.)

Managing multiple certificates 6

This multiple certificate feature allows you to manage each certificate that you have installed using Web Based Management. After installing certificates, you can view what certificates are installed from the Certificate page and then view each certificate's content, delete, or export the certificate. For information on how to access the Certificate page, see Configure certificate using Web Based Management on page 56. The Brother machine allows you to store up to three self-signed certificates or up to three certificates issued by a CA. You can use the stored certificates for using the HTTPS/IPPS protocol or IEEE 802.1x authentication.

You can also store up to four CA certificates for using IEEE 802.1x authentication and SSL for SMTP/POP3.

We recommend you store one certificate less and keep the last free to deal with certificate expiration. For example, if you want to store a CA certificate, store three certificates and leave one storage as a backup. In the case of re-issuing the certificate, such as when the certificate is expired, you can import a new certificate to the backup and then you can delete the expired certificate, to avoid configuration failure.

• When you use HTTPS/IPPS protocol or IEEE 802.1x, you must choose which certificate you are using.

• When you use SSL for SMTP communications, you do not have to choose the certificate. The necessary certificate will be chosen automatically.

Security features

NOTE

Managing your network machine securely using SSL/TLS 6

To manage your network machine securely, you need to use the management utilities with security protocols.

Secure Management using Web Based Management (web browser) 6

 SNMP v1/v2c read-write access

In this mode, the print server uses version 1 and version 2c of the SNMP protocol. You can use all Brother applications under this mode. However, it is not secure since it will not authenticate the user and the data will not be encrypted.

 SNMPv3 read-write access and v1/v2c read-only access

In this mode, the print server uses the read-write access of version 3 and the read-only access of version 1 and version 2c of the SNMP protocol.

When you use the SNMPv3 read-write access and v1/v2c read-only access mode, some Brother applications (e.g. BRAdmin Light) that access to the print server do not work properly since they authorize the read-only access of version 1 and version 2c. If you want to use all applications, use the SNMP v1/v2c

read-write access mode.

Security features

NOTE

 SNMPv3 read-write access

With this mode, the print server uses version 3 of the SNMP protocol. If you want to manage the print server securely, use this mode.

• When you use the SNMPv3 read-write access mode, please note the following.

• You can manage the print server by using BRAdmin Professional 3 or Web Based Management only.

• Except for BRAdmin Professional 3, all applications that use SNMPv1/v2c will be restricted. To allow

the use of SNMPv1/v2c applications, use SNMPv3 read-write access and v1/v2c read-only access or SNMP v1/v2c read-write access mode.

• For more information, see the Help text in Web Based Management.

Sending an E-mail with user authentication 6

This machine supports POP before SMTP and SMTP-AUTH methods to send an E-mail via an E-mail server that requires user authentication. These methods prevent an unauthorized user from accessing the E-mail server. You can use Web Based Management or BRAdmin Professional 3 to configure these settings. You can use POP before SMTP and SMTP-AUTH methods for E-mail Notification.

E-mail server settings

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.

Security features

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.

Sending an E-mail securely using SSL/TLS 6

This machine supports SSL/TLS methods to send an E-mail via an E-mail server that requires secure SSL/TLS communication. To send E-mail via an E-mail server that is using SSL/TLS communication, you must configure SMTP over SSL/TLS or POP3 over SSL/TLS correctly.

Verifying Server Certificate

 If you choose SSL or TLS for SMTP over SSL/TLS or POP3 over SSL/TLS, the Verify Server Certificate

check box will be automatically checked to verify the Server Certificate.

• Before you verify the Server Certificate, you must import the CA certificate that has been issued by the CA that signed the Server Certificate. Contact your network administrator or your ISP (Internet Service Provider) to confirm whether a CA certificate import is necessary. For importing the certificate, see Import and export a CA certificate on page 65.

• If you do not need to verify the Server Certificate, uncheck Verify Server Certificate.

Port Number

 If you choose SSL or TLS, the SMTP Port or POP3 Port value will be changed to match the protocol. If

you want to change the port number manually, enter the port number after you choose SMTP over SSL/TLS or POP3 over SSL/TLS.

 You must configure the POP3/SMTP communication method to match the E-mail server. For details of the

E-mail server settings, contact your network administrator or ISP (Internet Service Provider).

In most cases, the secured webmail services require the following settings:

(SMTP)

SMTP Port: 587

SMTP Server Authentication Method: SMTP-AUTH

SMTP over SSL/TLS: TLS

(POP3)

POP3 Port: 995

Configuring your machine for a network 9

IP addresses, subnet masks and gateways 9

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 9

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: 9

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 105. Using BOOTP to configure the IP address on page 107. Using RARP to configure the IP address on page 106.

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 107.

Subnet mask 9

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) 9

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 Authentication 9

IEEE 802.1x is an IEEE standard for wired and wireless networks that limits 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 access the network.

Authentication methods 9

 LEAP (For wireless network)

Cisco LEAP (Lightweight 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 Tunneling) 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 authentication methods:

• 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 encrypted 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

Configuring your machine for a network

 EAP-TTLS

EAP-TTLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol-Tunneled Transport Layer Security) has been developed by Funk Software and Certicom. EAP-TTLS creates a similar encrypted 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 concepts

(For HL-3140CW, HL-3150CDW and HL-3170CDW)

Specifying your network 10

SSID (Service Set Identifier) and channels 10

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. 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 beacons) which have the SSID information. When your wireless network device receives a beacon, you can identify wireless networks that are enough to connect to.

 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 is restricted.

Security terms 10

Authentication and encryption 10

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 see Supported protocols and security features on page 104 for which authentication and encryption methods your Brother wireless machine supports.

NOTE

Authentication and Encryption methods for a personal wireless network 10

A personal wireless network is a small network, such as a home wireless network, 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 95.

Authentication methods 10

 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 methods 10

 None

No encryption method is used.

 WEP

When 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) provides stronger data protection by using a symmetric-key encryption.

• IEEE 802.11n does not support WEP or TKIP for the encryption method.

• If you want to connect to your wireless network using IEEE 802.11n, we recommend to choose AES.
