network (For MFC-8710DW, MFC-8910DW and MFC-8950DW(T))

Overview 3

To connect your machine to your wireless network, we recommend following one of the setup methods outlined in the Quick Setup Guide.

The wireless setup method using the installer CD-ROM and a USB cable is the easiest method for setup.

For additional wireless configuration methods 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) uu page 5.

• 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) and Network Key. If you are using an enterprise wireless network you also need to know the User ID and Password.

Boot Method 4

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, 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 4

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 4

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 4

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 4

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 4

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

Auto 4

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 4

Primary WINS Server IP Address 4

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 4

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 4

Primary DNS Server IP Address 4

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.

APIPA 4

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 uu page 50.) 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 4

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.

Fax to Server (MFC-8910DW and MFC-8950DW(T): standard, MFC-8510DN, MFC-8520DN and MFC-8710DW: available as a download) 4

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.

Note

Web Based Management 5

Overview 5

A standard Web Browser can be used to manage your machine using the HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) or HTTPS (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer). You can perform the function listed or get the following information from a machine on your network using a web browser.

 Machine status information

 Change Fax configuration items, such as General Setup, Address Book settings and Remote Fax (For

MFC models)

 Change network settings such as TCP/IP information

 Configure Gigabit Ethernet and Jumbo Frame (For DCP-8250DN and MFC-8950DW(T)) (See Gigabit

Ethernet (wired network only) (For DCP-8250DN and MFC-8950DW(T)) uu page 93.)

 Configure Secure Function Lock 2.0 (See Secure Function Lock 2.0 uu page 95.)

 Configure Store Print Log to Network (See Store Print Log to Network uu page 100.)

 Configure Scan to FTP (See Changing the Scan to FTP configuration using a web browser uu page 104.)

 Configure Scan to Network (See Changing the Scan to Network configuration using a web browser

(Windows

) uu page 106.)

 Configure LDAP (See Changing the LDAP configuration using a web browser (DCP-8250DN,

MFC-8910DW and MFC-8950DW(T): standard, MFC-8510DN, MFC-8520DN and MFC-8710DW: available as a download) uu page 107.)

 Software version information of the machine and print server

 Change network and machine configuration details

We recommend Windows® Internet Explorer®7.0/8.0 or Firefox®3.6 for Windows® and Safari 4.0/5.0 for Macintosh. Please also make sure that JavaScript and Cookies are always enabled in whichever browser you use. If a different web browser is used, make sure it is compatible with HTTP 1.0 and HTTP 1.1.

You must use the TCP/IP protocol on your network and have a valid IP address programmed into the print server and your computer.

Web Based Management

Note

How to configure the machine settings using Web Based Management (web browser) 5

A standard web browser can be used to change your print server settings using the HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) or HTTPS (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer).

• We recommend to use HTTPS protocol for your security when configuring the settings using Web Based Management.

• When you use the HTTPS protocol for Web Based Management configuration, your browser will display a warning dialog.

a Start your web browser. b Type “http://machine’s IP address/” into your browser (where “machine’s IP address” is the machine’s IP

address).

 For example:

http://192.168.1.2/

• If you are using a Domain Name System or enable a NetBIOS name, you can enter another name such as “SharedPrinter” instead of the IP address.

• For example:

http://SharedPrinter/

If you enable a NetBIOS name, you can also use the node name.

• For example:

http://brnxxxxxxxxxxxx/

The NetBIOS name can be seen in the Network Configuration Report (See Printing the Network Configuration Report uu page 63).

• For Macintosh users, you can have easy access to the Web Based Management System by clicking the machine icon on the Status Monitor screen. For more information: uu Software User's Guide.

c No password is required by default. Enter a password if you have set one and press .

Web Based Management

Note

d You can now change the print server settings.

If you have changed the protocol settings, restart the machine after clicking Submit to activate the configuration.

Setting a password 5

We recommend setting a login password to prevent unauthorized access to the Web Based Management.

a Click Administrator. b Enter the password you want to use (up to 32 characters). c Re-enter the password in Confirm New Password box. d Click Submit.

From the next time you access the Web Based Management, enter the password in the Login box, and then click . After configuring the settings, logout by clicking .

You can also set a password by clicking Please configure the password on the machine’s web page if you are not setting a login password.

Gigabit Ethernet (wired network only) (For DCP-8250DN and MFC-8950DW(T))

Your machine supports 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet. To connect to a 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Network, you must set the machine’s Ethernet link mode to Auto from the machine’s control panel or Auto from Web Based Management (web browser). 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Network also allows you to use the Jumbo Frame feature.

Jumbo frames are the data frames that are larger than the standard Ethernet frame size (maximum 1,518 byte). The Jumbo Frame feature offers the faster data transfer compared to the standard Ethernet frame. You can configure the machine’s frame size by using Web Based Management (web browser) or BRAdmin Professional 3.

• Use a straight-through Category 5e (or greater) Shielded Twisted-Pair (STP) cable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet Network or 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Network. When you connect the machine to a Gigabit Ethernet Network, use the network devices complying with 1000BASE-T.

• To use the Jumbo Frame feature, you must confirm all of your devices on your network, including your computer, have been configured to use Jumbo Frame.
