Introduction

Types of network connections 1

Wired 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

1Router

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 6.

 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).

Page 17

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.

Page 18

Introduction

Wireless network connection examples (For MFC-9325CW only) 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.

Introduction

Note

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.

• You can configure the protocol settings by using the HTTP interface (web browser). See How to configure the machine settings using Web Based Management (web browser) on page 92.

• For information about supported security protocols, see Security protocols on page 113.

, Windows Server®, Macintosh and Linux®.

DHCP/BOOTP/RARP 1

By using the DHCP/BOOTP/RARP protocols, the IP address can be automatically configured.

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.

ARP 1

Address Resolution Protocol performs mapping of an IP address to MAC address in a TCP/IP network.

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.

NetBIOS name resolution 1

Network Basic Input/Output System name resolution enables you to obtain the IP address of the other device using its NetBIOS name during the network connection.

Page 20

Introduction

Note

WINS 1

Windows Internet Name Service is an information providing service for the NetBIOS name resolution by consolidating an IP address and a NetBIOS name that is in the local network.

LPR/LPD 1

Commonly used printing protocols on a TCP/IP network.

SMTP client 1

Configuring your machine for a network 2

Overview 2

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.

If you do not wish to, or are unable to use the Brother 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 44.

IP addresses, subnet masks and gateways 2

To use the machine 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 number.

• 192.168.1.1

• 192.168.1.2

• 192.168.1.3

Page 24

Configuring your machine for a network

Note

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® XP, Windows Vista

, Windows® 7 or Windows Server® 2003/2008 network) the print server will automatically obtain its IP address from the DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.

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 149. Using BOOTP to configure the IP address on page 149. Using RARP to configure the IP address on page 150.

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 150.

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

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.xx. (Where xx are numbers between 0 and 255.)

Page 25

Configuring your machine for a network

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 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.

Overview 3

To connect your machine to your wireless network, you need to follow the steps in the Quick Setup Guide.

Configuration using the CD-ROM installer and a USB cable is a recommended way for Windows using this method, you can easily connect your machine to your wireless network. Macintosh users should choose their preferred configuration method from the choices covered in the Quick Setup Guide.

Please read this chapter for additional methods on how to configure the wireless network settings. For information on TCP/IP settings, see Setting the IP address and subnet mask on page 15. Then, in Network

printing from Windows®: basic TCP/IP Peer-to-Peer printing on page 79 or Network printing from Macintosh using the BR-Script 3 driver on page 87, you will learn how to install the network software and drivers into the

operating system running on your computer.

• To achieve optimum results with normal everyday 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.

users. By

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 MFC-9325CW can be used in a both wired and wireless network, only one connection method can be used at a time.

Page 33

Configuring your machine for a wireless network (For MFC-9325CW)

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

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

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 Ethernet wireless network on page 157.)

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 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).

Page 34

Configuring your machine for a wireless network (For MFC-9325CW)

 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.

• 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 wireless 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 the Wi-Fi authorized strong encryption standard.

 CKIP

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

Page 35

Configuring your machine for a wireless network (For MFC-9325CW)

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: Up to a maximum of 64 characters in length.

• Password: Up to a maximum of 32 characters in length.

 EAP-FAST

Uses User ID and Password.

• User ID: less than 64 characters in length.

• Password: less than 32 characters in length.

WPA/WPA2-PSK is a Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key, which lets the Brother wireless machine associate with access points using TKIP or AES encryption (WPA-Personal). WPA2-PSK (AES), WPA-PSK (TKIP/AES) uses a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) that is 8 or more characters in length, up to a maximum of 63 characters.

The WEP key is for 64-bit encrypted networks or 128-bit encrypted networks and can contain both numbers and letters. If you do not know this information you should see the documentation provided with your access point or wireless router. This key is a 64-bit or 128-bit value that must be entered in an ASCII or HEXADECIMAL format.

Control panel setup 6

Network menu 6

Before using your Brother product in a network environment, you need to configure the correct TCP/IP settings.

In this chapter, 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 Menu, then press a or b to choose Network. Proceed to the menu selection you wish to configure. For additional information on the menu, see Function table and default factory settings on page 159.

Please note that the machine is supplied with the BRAdmin Light utility and Remote Setup applications, which also can be used to configure many aspects of the network. (See Changing the print server settings on page 18.)

TCP/IP 6

If you connect the machine with an Ethernet 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.

This menu has ten sections: Boot Method, IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Node Name, WINS Config, WINS Server, DNS Server, APIPA and IPv6.

Boot Method 6

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

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

h Press Stop/Exit.

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 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 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 The Brother print server’s IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (RARP) facility on your host computer. (For more information on RARP, see Using RARP to configure the IP address on page 150.)

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 149.)

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 a DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002 compliant dynamic name services.

XP, Windows Vista®, Windows® 7 network) the print server will automatically obtain its IP address from

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

• On smaller networks, the DHCP server may be the router.

IP Address 6

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.

Fax to Server (available as a download) 6

The Fax to Server feature allows the machine to scan a document and send it over the network to a separate fax server. The document will then be sent from the server as fax data to the destination fax number over standard phone lines. When the Fax to Server feature is set to On all automatic fax transmissions from the machine will be sent to the fax server for fax transmission. You can continue to send a fax directly from the machine using the manual fax feature.

To send a document to the fax server the correct syntax for that server must be used. The destination fax number must be sent with a prefix and a suffix that match the parameters used by the fax server. In most cases the syntax for the prefix is “fax=” and the syntax for the suffix would be the domain name of the fax server E-mail gateway. The suffix must also include the “@” symbol at the beginning of the suffix. The prefix and the suffix information must be stored in the machine before you can use the fax to server function. Destination fax numbers can be saved in the One Touch or Speed Dial locations or entered using the dial pad (up to 20 digit numbers). For example if you wanted to send a document to a destination fax number of 123-555-0001 the following syntax would be used.

• In order to use this function, please download the necessary software from the download page in the Brother Solution Center. (http://solutions.brother.com/

• Your fax server application must support an E-mail gateway.

Network printing from Windows®:

basic TCP/IP Peer-to-Peer printing

Overview 8

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

If you are a Windows application, use the TCP/IP protocol in a Peer-to-Peer environment. Please follow the instructions in this chapter. This chapter explains how to install the network software and the printer driver which you will need to be able to print using your network machine.

• You must configure the IP address on your machine before you proceed with this chapter. If you need to configure the IP address, see Setting the IP address and subnet mask on page 15 first.

• Verify the host computer and the machine are either on the same subnet, or that the router is properly configured to pass data between the two devices.
