Configuring your machine for a wireless

network

Overview 3

To connect your machine to your wireless network, we recommend you to follow the steps in the Quick Setup Guide using or 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 more details 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 every day 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 SSID and Network Key.

Control panel setup 5

Network menu 5

The Network menu selections of the control panel allow you to set up the Brother machine for your network configuration. Press Menu or MENU, then press a or b to choose Network. Proceed to the menu selection you wish to configure. (See Function table and default factory settings on page 39.)

Please note that the machine is supplied with the BRAdmin Light utility, Web Based Management or Remote Setup applications, which also can be used to configure many aspects of the network. (See Other Management Utilities on page 7.)

TCP/IP 5

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.

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.

Page 34

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 (where xxxxxxxxxxxx is your machine’s Ethernet address) (up to 15 characters).

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 or DHCP 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

Page 35

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.

APIPA 5

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 28). Choosing Off means the IP address doesn’t 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/

• If you set IPv6 to On, turn off the power switch and then turn it back on to enable this protocol.

• After you choose IPv6 On, this setting will be applied to both the wired and wireless LAN interface.

Setup Wizard 5

The Setup Wizard guides you through the wireless network configuration. For more information, see the Quick Setup Guide or Using the Setup Wizard from the control panel on page 15.

WPS/AOSS™ 5

If your WLAN access point/router supports either Wi-Fi Protected Setup (PBC1) or AOSS™, you can configure the machine easily without knowing your wireless network settings. (See the Quick Setup Guide or Using WPS or AOSS™ from the control panel menu to configure your machine for a wireless network on page 15.)

Internet fax 8

Internet fax Overview 8

Internet faxing (IFAX) allows you to send and receive fax documents using the Internet as the transport mechanism. Documents are transmitted in E-mail messages as attached TIFF-F files. This means that computers are also able to receive and send documents, providing that the computer has as an application that can generate and view TIFF-F files, you can use any TIFF-F viewer application. Any documents sent via the machine will automatically be converted into a TIFF-F format. If you wish to send and receive messages to and from your machine, your mail application on the computer must be able to support the MIME format.

1 Sender

2 Internet

3 Receiver

4 E-mail server

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

• You can send/receive I-Fax documents in Letter or A4 format and in Black & White only.

• If your document is in a Ledger or A3 format, it will automatically be reduced to Letter or A4 format when it is sent.

 Forwarding received E-mail and fax messages

You can forward received E-mail or standard fax messages to another E-mail address or fax machine. For more information see Forwarding received E-mail and fax messages on page 59.

 Relay broadcast

If you want to fax the document to a long distance such as abroad, "relay broadcast" function allows you to save the communication fee. This function allows the Brother machine to receive the document over the Internet, and then relay it to other fax machine through conventional telephone lines. For more information see Relay broadcasting on page 59.

Important information on Internet fax 8

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.

How to Internet fax 8

Before using an Internet fax you must configure your Brother machine to communicate with your network and mail server. You must ensure the following items of your machine. You can configure these items from the control panel, Web Based Management, Remote Setup or BRAdmin Professional 3. If you are unsure of any of these items, please contact your systems administrator.

 E-mail address

 SMTP, POP3 server address/port/Authentication method

 mailbox name and password

Before sending an Internet fax 8

To send the Internet fax, you can configure 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 62)

How to send an Internet fax 8

Sending an Internet fax is the same as sending a normal fax. (For more information, see 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, use the Fax Resolution to set the preferred resolution, choose a Speed Dial or One Touch number, and press Black Start/Mono Start or Color Start/Colour 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 Shift

and 1 simultaneously to change into the “alphabet” dialing mode. For Touchscreen models, press .

Press to choose numbers, characters or special characters. Enter the address and press OK or OK, and then press Black Start/Mono Start or Color Start/Colour Start.

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 the Internet fax, you can configure 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 62)

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 Shift + 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 xx E-mail(s). If you press the Shift + 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.

• 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. (For European, Asian and Oceanic machines, Memory Receive must be switched On.)

• 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.

TX Verification Mail 8

Transmission Verification Mail supports two separate functions. Verification Mail for sending allows you to request notification from the receiving station that the Internet Fax or E-mail was received and processed. Verification Mail for receiving allows you to transmit a default report back to the sending station after successfully receiving and processing an Internet Fax or E-mail.

To use this feature you must set the Notification option within the Setup Mail RX and Setup Mail TX options.

Setup Mail TX 8

You can set the Notification option in the Setup Mail TX option to either On or Off. When switched to On an additional field of information is sent with the image data. This field is named “MDN”.

MDN (Message Disposition Notification): This field requests the status of the Internet Fax/E-mail message after delivery through the SMTP (Send Mail Transfer Protocol) transport system. Once the message has arrived at the receiver this data is used when the machine or user reads or prints the received Internet Fax or E-mail. For example, if the message is opened for reading or is printed the receiver sends back a notification to the original sending machine or user.

The receiver must support the MDN field in order to be able to send a notification report, otherwise the request will be ignored.

Setup Mail RX 8

There are three possible settings for this option On, MDN or Off.

Receive Notification “On”

When switched to “On” a fixed message is sent back to the sender to indicate successful reception and processing of the message. These fixed messages depend on the operation requested by the sender.

Report messages consist of:

SUCCESS: Received From <Mail Address>

Receive Notification “MDN”

When switched to “MDN” a report as described above is sent back to the sender if the originating station sent the “MDN” field to request confirmation.

Page 68

Internet fax

Note

Receive Notification “Off”

Off switches all forms of receive notification Off, no message are sent back to the sender regardless of the request.

To receive the TX verification mail properly, you must configure following settings.

• Sender

• Switch Notification in the Setup Mail TX to on.

• Switch Header in the Setup Mail RX to All or Subject+From+To.

• Receiver

• Switch Notification in the Setup Mail RX to on.

Error mail 8

If there is a mail delivery error while sending an Internet fax, the mail server will send an error message back to the machine and the error message will be printed. If there is an error while receiving mail, an error message will be printed (Example: “The message being sent to the machine was not in a TIFF-F format.”).

To receive the error mail properly, you must switch Header in the Setup Mail RX to All or Subject+From+To.
