To use the Brother printer through a network, you need to configure the print server, and set up the computers you use.

For Wireless Users (HL-4070CDW only):

To achieve optimum results with normal everyday document printing, place the Brother printer 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.

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 photos or 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 Brother HL-4070CDW can be used in a both wired and wireless network, only either one of the connection methods can be used at a time.

Introduction

Types of network connection 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

Macintosh

TCP/IPTCP/IP

1 Router

2 Network printer

 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 4.

 Each computer must use the TCP/IP Protocol.

 The Brother printer 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

printer.

 The Brother printer can also communicate with Macintosh

. (TCP/IP compatible operating systems)

Page 11

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.

Windows

TCP/IP

1 Network Shared

2 Also known as “Server” or “Printer server”

4 TCP/IP, USB or Parallel

 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 printer needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration unless the printer is connected

via the parallel or USB interface at the server.

Page 12

Introduction

Wireless network connection example (HL-4070CDW) 1

Connected to a wireless capable computer with an access point in the network (Infrastructure mode)

This type of network has a central access point at the heart of the network. The access point can also act as a bridge or a gateway to a wired network. When the Brother wireless printer (your printer) is part of this network, it receives all print jobs via an access point.

1 Access Point

2 Wireless Network printer

3 Wireless capable computer connected to the access point

4 Wired computer connected to the access point

Connected to a wireless capable computer without an access point in the network (Ad-hoc mode) 1

This type of network does not have a central access point. Each wireless client communicates directly with each other. When the Brother wireless printer (your printer) is part of this network, it receives all print jobs directly from the computer sending the print data.

Introduction

Protocols 1

TCP/IP protocols and functionalities 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 Configuring the protocol settings on page 126.

• For the protocols of the security features, see Security protocols on page 125.

, 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 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 Service (DNS) client function. This function allows the print server to communicate with other devices by using its DNS name.

NetBIOS/IP 1

NetBIOS over IP basic functionality allows the Brother print server to appear in a Windows® network neighborhood.

LPR/LPD 1

Commonly used printing protocols on a TCP/IP network.

Port9100 1

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

Page 15

Introduction

SMTP client 1

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

IPP 1

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

Configuring your printer for a network

with an Ethernet cable connection

Overview 2

Before using your Brother printer in a network environment, you must configure the TCP/IP settings. In this chapter, you will learn the basic steps required to print over the network using the TCP/IP protocol.

We recommend that you use the automatic installer application on the CD-ROM we have provided with the printer. By using this application, you can easily connect your printer to your network and install the network software and printer driver which you need to complete the network configuration. You will be guided by the on-screen instructions until you are able to use your Brother network printer. Please follow the instructions in the supplied Quick Setup Guide.

If you want to configure your printer without using the automatic installer application, 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 printer’s control panel to change network settings. For more information, see Control panel setup on page 108.

Page 17

Configuring your printer for a network with an Ethernet cable connection

IP addresses, subnet masks and gateways 2

To use the printer in a networked TCP/IP environment, you need to configure the 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 computer 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 numbers.

• 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 a UNIX®/Linux, Windows®2000/XP,

Windows Vista™, or Windows Server from the server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.

2003 network) the print server will automatically obtain its IP address

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 159, Using BOOTP to configure the IP address on page 159 and Using RARP to configure the IP address on page 160.

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 161.

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 12.

Page 18

Configuring your printer for a network with an Ethernet cable connection

Subnet mask 2

Subnet masks restrict network communication.

 Example: Computer 1 can talk to Computer 2

• Computer 1

IP Address:192.168.1.2

Subnet Mask:255.255.255.0

• 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.

Overview 3

To connect your printer to your wireless network, you need to follow the steps in the Quick Setup Guide. We recommend that you use the automatic installer application on the CD-ROM which we have provided with the printer. By using this application, you can easily connect your printer to your wireless network and install the network software and printer driver which you need to complete the configuration of your printer for a wireless network. You will be guided by the on-screen instructions until you are able to use your Brother wireless network printer. Please follow the instructions in the supplied Quick Setup Guide.

If you want to configure your printer without using the automatic 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 12. Then, in Chapter 7: Network printing from Windows

Configuration using SecureEasySetup™. 3

If your wireless access point (A) supports SecureEasySetup™, you do not need to use a computer to configure the printer. The access point (router) and your printer can automatically negotiate using the SecureEasySetup™ procedure.

Configuration temporarily using a network cable 3

If there is an Ethernet Hub or Router in the same network as the wireless access point of your printer, you can temporarily connect the Hub or Router to the printer using an Ethernet cable (B), this is an easy way to configure the printer. You can then remotely configure the printer from a computer on the network.

Configuration using a wireless computer. 3

If your computer has wireless capability, you will need to change the wireless settings of your computer to Ad-hoc mode so you can directly connect and configure the printer.

Page 27

Configuring your printer for a wireless network (For HL-4070CDW)

Wireless network terms and concepts 3

When you configure the wireless network printer, you must ensure that your wireless network printer is configured 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 the wireless network printer.

SSID (Service Set Identifier) and channels 3

You need to configure the SSID and a channel to specify the wireless network you want to connect to.

SSID 3

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 3

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 further information, see Ethernet wireless network on page 165.

Authentication and encryption 3

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.

Authentication methods 3

The Brother printer supports the following methods:

 Open system

Wireless devices are allowed 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 printer uses the WEP keys as the pre-determined key.

Page 28

Configuring your printer for a wireless network (For HL-4070CDW)

 WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK

Enables a Wi-Fi

Protected Access Pre-shared key (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK), which enables the Brother wireless printer to associate with access points using TKIP for WPA-PSK or AES for WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK (WPA-Personal).

 LEAP

Cisco

LEAP (Light Extensible Authentication Protocol) has been developed by Cisco Systems, Inc. which

uses user ID and password for authentication.

Encryption methods 3

Encryption is used to secure the data that is sent over the wireless network. The Brother printer supports the following encryption methods:

 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 Wi-Fi

authorized strong encryption standard.

 CKIP

The original Key Integrity Protocol for LEAP by Cisco Systems, Inc.

Page 29

Configuring your printer for a wireless network (For HL-4070CDW)

Network Key 3

There are some rules for each security method:

 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. “WLLAN” (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 more than 7 and less than 64 characters in length.

 LEAP

Uses User ID and Password.

• User ID: less than 64 characters in length.

• Password: less than 32 characters in length.
