Note

Configuring your machine for a wireless

network (For MFC-9560CDW and MFC-9970CDW)

Overview 3

To connect your machine to your wireless network, we recommend you to follow the steps in the Quick Setup Guide using WPS or AOSS™ from the control panel menu. By using this method, you can easily connect your

machine to your wireless network.

Please read this chapter for additional methods 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, 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.

• Before configuring wireless settings, you will need to know your Network name: (SSID, ESSID) and Network Key. If you are using an enterprise wireless network you also need to know the User ID and Password.

Not available for DCP models.

Boot Method 5

This selection controls how the machine obtains an IP address.

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.

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, Web Based Management or Remote Setup.

Control panel setup

IP Address 5

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.

Subnet Mask 5

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 5

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.

Node Name 5

You can register the machine name on the Network. This name is often referred to as a NetBIOS name; it will be the name that is registered by the WINS server on your network. Brother recommends the name “BRNxxxxxxxxxxxx” for a wired network or “BRWxxxxxxxxxxxx” for a wireless network. (“xxxxxxxxxxxx” is your machine’s MAC Address / Ethernet Address.)

WINS Config 5

This selection controls how the machine obtains the IP address of the WINS server.

Auto 5

Automatically uses a DHCP request to determine the IP addresses for the primary and secondary WINS servers. You must set the BOOT Method to Auto for this feature to work.

Static

Uses a specified IP address for the primary and secondary WINS servers.

WINS Server 5

Primary WINS Server IP Address 5

This field specifies the IP address of the primary WINS (Windows® Internet Name Service) server. If set to a

non-zero value, the machine will contact this server to register its name with the Windows Service.

Internet Name

Control panel setup

Note

Secondary WINS Server IP Address 5

This field specifies the IP address of the secondary WINS server. It is used as a backup to the Primary WINS server address. If the Primary server is unavailable, the machine still can register itself with a secondary

server. If set to a non-zero value, the machine will contact this server to register its name with the Windows

Internet Name Service. If you have a primary WINS server, but no secondary WINS server, simply leave this field blank.

DNS Server 5

Primary DNS Server IP Address 5

This field specifies the IP address of the primary DNS (Domain Name System) server.

Secondary DNS Server IP Address

This field specifies the IP address of the secondary DNS server. It is used as a backup to the Primary DNS server address. If the Primary server is unavailable, the machine will contact the Secondary DNS server. If you have a primary DNS server, but no secondary DNS server, simply leave this field blank.

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 40.) 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 5

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/

For more information on Relay Broadcast, see Relay broadcasting on page 94.

Control panel setup

Note

Fax to Server (For MFC-9970CDW) 5

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.

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

Internet fax communication on a LAN system is basically the same as communication via E-mail; however, it is different from fax communication using standard phone lines. The following is important information for using Internet fax:

 Factors such as the receiver’s location, structure of the LAN system, and how busy the circuit (such as the

Internet) is, may cause the system to take a long time to send back an error mail. (normally 20 sec. to 30 sec.).

 In the case of transmission through the Internet, due to its low level of security, we recommend that you

use standard phone lines to send confidential documents.

 If the receiver’s mail system is not compatible with the MIME format, you cannot transmit a document to

the receiver. Depending on the receiver’s server, there may be some cases in which the error mail will not be sent back.

 If the size of a document’s image data is too large, there is a possibility of unsuccessful transmission.

 You cannot change the font or character size of Internet mail that you received.

Sending an Internet fax 8

Before sending an Internet fax 8

To send an Internet fax, you can configure the following items from the control panel, Web Based Management or Remote Setup.

 Sender Subject (if needed)

 Size Limit (if needed)

 Notification (if needed) (For more information, see TX Verification Mail on page 96.)

How to send an Internet fax 8

Sending an Internet fax is the same as sending a normal fax (For more information, see Sending a fax in the Basic User's Guide). If you have already programmed the addresses of the destination Internet fax machines

as One Touch or Speed-Dial locations, you can send the Internet fax by loading the document into the machine. If you want to change the resolution, press Fax Resolution to set the preferred resolution, choose a Speed Dial or One Touch number, press Black Start/Mono Start (S.Fine is not supported for Internet fax).

• If you wish to manually enter the Internet fax address, load the document into the machine and press

. Press to choose numbers, characters or special characters. Enter the address and

then press Black Start/Mono Start.

For more information to manually enter the Internet fax address, see the Quick Setup Guide.

• You can register the E-mail address information from Web Based Management or Remote Setup.

Note

After the document is scanned, it is transmitted to the recipient Internet fax machine automatically via your SMTP server. You can cancel the send operation by pressing the Stop/Exit key during scanning. After the transmission is finished, the machine will return to standby mode.

Some E-mail servers do not allow you to send large E-mail documents (the System Administrator will often place a limit on the maximum E-mail size). With this function enabled, the machine will display Out of Memory when trying to send E-mail documents over 1 Mbyte in size. The document will not be sent and an error report will be printed. The document you are sending should be separated into smaller documents that will be accepted by the mail server. (For your information, a 42 page document based on the ITU-T Test Chart #1 test chart is approximately 1 Mbyte in size.)

Receiving E-mail or Internet fax 8

Before receiving an Internet fax 8

To receive an Internet fax, you should configure the following items from the control panel, Web Based Management or Remote Setup:

 Auto Polling (if needed)

 Poll Frequency (if needed)

 Header (if needed)

 Delete Error Mail (if needed)

 Notification (if needed) (For more information, see TX Verification Mail on page 96.)

How to receive an Internet fax 8

There are 2 ways you can receive E-mail messages:

 POP3 receiving at regular intervals

 POP3 receiving (manually initiated)

Using POP3 receiving the machine must poll the E-mail server to receive the data. This polling can occur at set intervals (for example, you can configure the machine to poll the E-mail server at 10 minute intervals) or you can manually poll the server by pressing the 1 + Black Start/Mono Start or Color Start/Colour Start keys.

If your machine starts to receive E-mail data, the LCD panel will reflect this activity. For example, you will see

Receiving on the LCD panel followed by XXE-mail(s). If you press the 1 + Black Start/Mono Start or Color Start/Colour Start keys to manually poll the E-mail server for E-mail data and there are no mail

documents waiting to be printed, the machine will display No Mail on the LCD panel for two seconds.

Note

• If your machine is out of paper when receiving data, the received data will be held in the machine’s memory. This data will be printed automatically after paper is re-inserted into the machine.

• If the received mail is not in a plain text format or an attached file is not in the TIFF-F format, the following error message will be printed: “ATTACHED FILE FORMAT NOT SUPPORTED. FILE

NAME:XXXXXX.doc” If the received mail is too large, the following error message will be printed: “E-MAIL FILE TOO LARGE.”. If Delete POP Receive Error Mail is ON (default) then the error mail is automatically

deleted from the E-mail server.

Receiving an Internet fax to your computer 8

When a computer receives an Internet fax document, the document is attached to a mail message that informs the computer that it has received a document from an Internet fax. This is notified in the subject field of the received mail message.

If the computer to which you wish to send a document is not running Windows®2000/XP, Windows

Server owner that they must install some software that can view TIFF-F files.

2003/2008, Windows Vista® or Windows®7 operating system, please inform the computer’s

Internet fax (For MFC-9970CDW)

Additional Internet Fax options 8

Forwarding received E-mail and fax messages 8

You can forward received E-mail or standard fax messages to another E-mail address or fax machine. Received messages can be forwarded via E-mail to a computer or Internet fax. They can also be forwarded via standard phone lines to another machine.

The setting can be enabled using a web browser or through the control panel of the machine. The steps for configuring fax forward can be found in the Advanced User's Guide.

Please see the Advanced User's Guide to check that this feature is supported.

Relay broadcasting 8

This function allows the Brother machine to receive a document over the Internet, and then relay it to other fax machines through conventional telephone lines.

Before relaying broadcast 8

To relay broadcast, you must configure the following items from the control panel, Web Based Management or Remote Setup:

 Relay Broadcast

You must enable the relay broadcast.

 Relay Domain

You must configure your machine’s domain name on the machine that will broadcast the document to the conventional fax machine. If you wish to use your machine as a relay broadcast device, you must specify the domain name that you trust at the machine, in other words, the portion of the name after the “@” sign. Use care in selecting a trusted domain since any user on a trusted domain will be able to send a relay broadcast.

You can register up to 10 domain names.

 Relay Report

1 Internet

In this example, your machine has an E-mail address of FAX@brother.com, you wish to send a document from this machine to another machine in England with an E-mail address of UKFAX@brother.co.uk, this machine will then forward the document to a standard fax machine using a conventional telephone line. If your E-mail address is FAX@brother.com, you must configure a trusted domain name of brother.com on the machine in England that will broadcast the document to the conventional fax machine. If you do not enter the domain name information, then the machine in the middle (the machine that will broadcast the document) will not trust any Internet jobs that it receives from the machine in the @brother.com domain.

After the trusted domain is set you can send the document from your machine [e.g. FAX@brother.com] by entering the E-mail address of the machine [e.g. UKFAX@brother.co.uk] that will forward the document followed by the phone number of the fax that will receive the document. The following is an example of how to enter the E-mail address and phone number.

Sending to multiple phone numbers: 8

If you want to have the document relayed to more than one standard fax machine the address can be entered using the following method:

a Press (FAX). b Load your document. c Press d or c to display Broadcasting.

Press Broadcasting.

d Enter the phone number of the first Fax machine UKFAX@brother.co.uk(fax#123).
