In this Network Glossary, you will find basic information about
advanced network features of Brother machines along general
networking and common terms.
The supported protocols and the network features differ
depending on the model you are using. To find what features and
network protocols are supported, see the Network User's Guide
we have provided. To download the latest manual, please visit
your model page on the Brother Solutions Center at
(http://solutions.brother.com/
).
You can also download the latest drivers and utilities for your
machine, read FAQs and troubleshooting tips or learn about
special printing solutions from the Brother Solutions Center.

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 machine sharing.
TCP/IPTCP/IP
1
1
1 Router
2 Network machine (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 uu page 2.
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.

Types of network connections and protocols
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, USB or parallel (where available)
4 Network machine (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.

Types of network connections and protocols
Note
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 the Brother machine 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 the Brother machine.
• You can configure the protocol settings by using the HTTP interface (web browser). (See the Network
User's Guide.)
• To find what protocols your Brother machine supports, see the Network User's Guide.
, Windows Server®, Mac OS X and Linux®.
1
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 (for LCD models) 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.
3
Types of network connections and protocols
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 (MFC-J5910DW only) 1
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) client is used to send E-mails via the Internet or Intranet.
Custom Raw Port (Default is Port 9100) 1
Another commonly used printing protocol on a TCP/IP network. It enables interactive data transmission.
mDNS 1
mDNS allows the Brother print server to automatically configure itself to work in a Mac OS X Simple Network
Configured system.
SNMP 1
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used to manage network devices including computers,
routers and Brother network ready machines. The Brother print server supports SNMPv1 and SNMPv2.
1
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
in both the IPv4 or IPv6 environment when using a computer that has the LLMNR Sender function such as
®
Windows Vista
and Windows®7.
Web Services 1
The Web Services protocol enables Windows Vista® or Windows®7 users to install the drivers used for
printing and scanning by right-clicking the machine icon from the Network folder. (See Installing drivers used
®
for printing and scanning via Web Services (Windows Vista
about scanning using Web Services, see the Software User's Guide. The Web Services also lets you check
the current status of the machine from your computer.
and Windows®7) uu page 12.) For details
FTP (For the Scan to FTP feature) (MFC-J5910DW only) 1
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) allows the Brother machine to scan black and white or color documents
directly to an FTP server located locally on your network or on the internet.
CIFS (MFC-J5910DW only) 1
The Common Internet File System is the standard way that computer users share files and printers in

Windows
