Introduction

Types of network connections 1

Network connection example 1

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.

1) Router

Windows

TCP/IPTCP/IP

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. 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.

Page 15

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

Windows

1) Client computer

2) Also known as “Server” or “Print server”

3) TCP/IP, USB or parallel

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 or the parallel interface at the server.

Page 16

Introduction

Wireless network connection examples (For HL-5370DW) 1

Connected to a computer with an access point on the network (Infrastructure mode) 1

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 machine (your machine) is part of this network, it receives all print jobs via an access point.

1) Access point

2) Wireless network printer (your machine)

3) Wireless capable computer communicating with the access point

4) Wired computer which is not wireless capable connected to the access point with the Ethernet cable

Connected to a wireless capable computer without an access point on 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 machine (your machine) is part of this network, it receives all print jobs directly from the computer sending the print data.

1) Wireless network printer (your machine)

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

• 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 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 178

or Windows Server® 2003/2008 network) the print server will automatically obtain its IP

Page 21

Configuring your machine for a network

Using BOOTP to configure the IP address on page 179 Using RARP to configure the IP address on page 180.

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 180.

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 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: 255.255.255.000

• 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.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.

Overview 3

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 one-push wireless setting mode, 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.

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 or parallel 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.

Page 29

Configuring your machine for a wireless network (For HL-5370DW)

Wireless network terms and concepts 3

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 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 more information, see Wireless network (for HL-5370DW) on page 187.

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 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.

Page 30

Configuring your machine for a wireless network (For HL-5370DW)

 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 methods 3

Encryption is used to secure the data that is sent over the wireless network. The Brother machine 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 31

Configuring your machine for a wireless network (For HL-5370DW)

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. “WSLAN” (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 8 or more characters in length, up to a maximum of 63 characters.

 LEAP

Uses User ID and Password.

• User ID: less than 64 characters in length.

• Password: less than 32 characters in length.

 EAP-FAST
