Introduction

Types of Network Connections 1

Wired 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.

Windows

TCP/IP TCP/IP

Windows

1 Switch or Router

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 an appropriate IP address configuration.

 If you are using a router, the Gateway address must be configured on the computers and the Brother

machine.

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 Network 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.

Introduction

Wireless network connection examples 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.

2 Wireless capable computer

Introduction

Note

Protocols 1

TCP/IP protocols and functions 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) protocols.

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.

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.

, Windows Server®, Mac OS X and Linux®.

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.

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.

Introduction

Custom Raw Port (Default is Port 9100) 1

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

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 10.4.11 - 10.6.x)

SNMP 1

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used to manage network devices including computers, routers and Brother network ready machines.

LLMNR 1

The Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution protocol (LLMNR) resolves the names of neighboring computers, if the network does not have a Domain Name System (DNS) server. The LLMNR Responder function works

when using a computer that has the LLMNR Sender function such as Windows Vista

or Windows®7.

Web Services 1

The Web Services protocol enables Windows Vista® and Windows®7 users to install the Brother printer driver by right-clicking the machine icon from the Network folder. (See Installation when using Web Services

(Windows Vista

the machine from your computer.

and Windows®7) on page 105.) The Web Services also let you check the current status of

Other Protocol 1

LLTD 1

The Link Layer Topology Discovery protocol (LLTD) lets you locate the Brother machine easily on the

Windows Vista and the node name. The default setting for this protocol is Off.

You can activate LLTD using the BRAdmin Professional 3 utility software. Visit the download page for your model at http://solutions.brother.com/

or Windows®7 Network Map. Your Brother machine will be shown with a distinctive icon

to download BRAdmin Professional 3.

Note

Configuring your machine for a network

with an Ethernet cable connection (DCP-J715W, MFC-J615W and MFC-J630W only)

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 installation 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 automatic 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 65.

IP addresses, subnet masks and gateways 2

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 a UNIX®/Linux®, Windows® 2000/XP,

Windows Vista obtain its IP address from that server.

, Windows®7 or Windows Server® 2003/2008 network) the print server will automatically

On smaller networks, the DHCP server may be the Router.

Configuring your machine for a network with an Ethernet cable connection (DCP-J715W, MFC-J615W and MFC-J630W only)

Note

For more information on DHCP, BOOTP and RARP, see Using DHCP to configure the IP address on page 100, Using BOOTP to configure the IP address on page 102 and Using RARP to configure the IP address on page 101.

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 102.

Subnet mask 2

Subnet masks restrict network communication.

 Example: Computer1 can talk to Computer2

•Computer1

IP Address: 192.168.1.2

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

•Computer2

IP Address: 192.168.1.3

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

0 denotes that there is no limit to communication at this part of the address.

In the above example, we can communicate with any device 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 machine to your wireless network, you need to follow the steps in the Quick Setup Guide. We recommend that you use the Setup Wizard from the machine’s control panel Network menu. By using this method, you can easily connect your machine to your wireless network. Please follow the instructions in the supplied Quick Setup Guide.

Please read this chapter for more details on how to configure the wireless network settings. For information on TCP/IP settings, see Setting up the IP address and subnet mask on page 12. Then, in Network printing

from Windows

on page 90, 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 every day document printing, place the Brother machine as close to the network access point (or 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 (DCP-J715W, MFC-J615W and MFC-J630W only), or USB for the fastest throughput speed.

basic TCP/IP Peer-to-Peer printing on page 86 and Network printing from a Macintosh

• Although the Brother machine can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one connection method can be used at a time.

Configuring your machine for a wireless network

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 further information, see Wireless network on page 107.

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 wireless machine uses the WEP keys 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).

Configuring your machine for a wireless network

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 re-keying mechanism.

 AES

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is the Wi-Fi

authorized strong encryption standard.

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.

This menu has 9 sections: BOOT Method, IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Node Name, WINS Config, WINS Server, DNS Server and APIPA.

BOOT Method 5

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 or Remote Setup.

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, see Using APIPA to configure the IP address on page 102. 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 IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (RARP) service on your host computer. For more information on RARP, see Using RARP to configure the IP address on page 101.

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 102.

DHCP mode (DHCP) 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 server will automatically obtain its IP address from a DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002 compliant dynamic name services.

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.

Overview 6

The Driver Deployment Wizard software can be used to ease the installation or even automate the installation of network connected printers. The Driver Deployment Wizard can also be used to create self running executable files which when run on a remote PC, completely automate the installation of a printer driver. The remote PC does not have to be connected to a network.

Connection methods 6

The Driver Deployment Wizard supports the two connection methods.

Peer-to-Peer 6

The device is connected to the network but each user prints directly to the machine WITHOUT printing through a central queue.
