CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION

CHAPTER ONE

TCP/IP Configuration

Assigning TCP/IP Information

Overview

The TCP/IP protocol requires that each device on the network have it's own unique IP address. Use the following information to learn about IP address configuration.

By default Brother Print / Fax servers have a sample IP address of 192.0.0.192, however, you can easily change this IP address number to match with the IP address details of your network. This can be done in any of the following ways:

1. MFC front panel setting.

2. BRAdmin application (for Windows

IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocol).

3. DHCP, Reverse ARP (rarp) or BOOTP.

4. The ARP command.

5. Brother BRCONFIG NetWare utility (A Novell Network is necessary).

Other ways to CHANGE the IP address once it is already set:

1. MFC front panel

2. TELNET

3. HTTP (Web browser)

4. Other SNMP based management utility

These configuration methods are described in the following paragraphs.

The IP address you assign to the Print / Fax 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 router (gateway).

95/98/Me/NT®4.0/2000 using the

1-1

Page 18

CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION

Using the MFC front panel to allocate an IP address.

Refer to chapter 2 for details on how to configure IP address information using the MFC control panel. By using the front panel of the MFC, you can program the IP address details at the same time that other MFC parameters are configured.

Using BRAdmin and the TCP/IP Protocol to set the IP address

If your PC has only the TCP/IP protocol, do the following:

1. Select TCP/IP filter in the left frame of the main window.

2. Select the "Device" menu and choose the "Search Active Devices".

If the Print / Fax server is set to its factory default settings, it will not appear in the BRAdmin screen, however, when you select the "Search Active Devices" option, it will be found as an un-configured device.

3. Select the "Device" menu and choose the "Setup Unconfigured Device".

4. Select the MAC address of your Print / Fax server and click the

Configure button.

You can find the node name and MAC address by printing out the MFC configuration page. Refer to the Quick Setup Guide for information on how to print the configuration page on your Print / Fax server.

5. Input the IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway (If needed) of your Print

/ Fax server.

6. Click OK then select Close.

7. With the correctly programmed IP address, you will see the Brother

Print / Fax server in the device list.

1-2

Page 19

CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION

Using BRAdmin and the IPX/SPX Protocol to set the IP address

If your PC has Novell Netware Client software and is using the IPX/SPX protocol, do the following:

1. Select IPX/SPX filter in the left frame of the main window.

2. Check the Print / Fax server name (the default node name will be

BRN_xxxxxx, where "xxxxxx" is the last six digits of the Ethernet address (MAC address)).

If you cannot find your server name, select the "Device" menu and choose "Search Active Devices" (you can also press the F4 key) and try again.

You can find the node name and MAC address by printing out the MFC configuration page. Refer to the NC-8100h Quick Setup Guide for information on how to print the configuration page on your Print / Fax server.

3. Select the Print / Fax server that you wish to configure and double click

it. You will be asked for a password. The default password is "access".

4. Select the TCP/IP tab and set the IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway

as needed.

5. Click OK.

1-3

Page 20

CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION

Changing the IP Address using the BRAdmin application

Start the BRAdmin application (from Windows® 95/98/Me/NT®4.0/2000).

The BRAdmin application can use the IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols to communicate with the Brother Print / Fax server. As the default IP address of Brother Print / Fax servers is 192.0.0.192, the Print / Fax server will probably be incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme on your network. If you are not using DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you will want to change the IP address. There are two ways that you can do this from within BRAdmin.

1. Use the IPX/SPX protocol.

2. Use the TCP/IP protocol and let BRAdmin find the Brother Print / Fax

server. Double click the Print / Fax Server you wish to change the IP Address and enter the password.

3. Select the TCP/IP tab and change the IP Address as necessary.

1-4

Page 21

CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION

Using DHCP to Configure the IP address

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, Windows Print / Fax server will automatically obtains its IP address from DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.

If you do not want your Print / Fax server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the BOOT METHOD to static, this will prevent the Print / Fax server from trying to obtain an IP address from any of these systems. To change the BOOT METHOD, use the MFC’s front panel, TELNET (using the SET IP METHOD command), Web browser or by using the BRAdmin application.

NT®/2000 or Novell Netware network) the

Page 22

CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION

Using ARP to Configure the Print / Fax server IP Address

If you are unable to use the BRAdmin application, MFC front panel and your network does not use a DHCP server, you can also use the ARP command. ARP is the simplest method of configuring the Print / Fax server IP address. The ARP command is available on Windows as Unix systems. To use arp enter the following command the command prompt:

arp -s ipaddress ethernetaddress

Where ethernetaddress is the Ethernet address (MAC address) of the Print / Fax server and ipaddress is the IP address of the Print / Fax server. For example:

systems that have TCP/IP installed as well

Windows

Systems

Systems require the colon ":" character in-between each digit of the

Ethernet address.

arp -s 192.189.207.2 00:80:77:31:01:07

Unix Systems

Typically, Unix systems require the hash "-" character in-between each digit of the Ethernet address.

arp -s 192.189.207.2 00-80-77-31-01-07

You must be on the same Ethernet segment (that is, there cannot be a router between the Print / Fax server and operating system) to use the arp -s command. If there is a router, you may use BOOTP or other methods described in this chapter to enter the IP address. If your Administrator has configured the system to deliver IP addresses using BOOTP, DHCP or RARP your Brother Print / Fax server can receive an IP address from any one of these IP address allocation systems, in which case, you will not need to use the ARP command. The ARP command only works once. For security reasons, once you have successfully configured the IP address of a Brother Print / Fax server using the ARP command, you cannot use the ARP command again to change the address. The Print / Fax server will ignore any attempts to do this. If you wish to change the IP address again, use a Web Browser, TELNET (using the SET IP ADDRESS command) the MFC’s front panel or factory reset the Print / Fax server (which will then allow you to use the ARP command again).

To configure the Print / Fax server and to verify the connection, enter the following command ping ipaddress where the ipaddress is the IP address of the Print / Fax server. For example:

ping 192.189.207.2

CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION

Using RARP to Configure the IP Address

Brother Print / Fax server IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (rarp) facility on your host computer. This is done by editing the /etc/ethers file (if this file does not exist, you can create it) with an entry similar to the following:

00:80:77:31:01:07 BRN_310107

Where the first entry is the Ethernet address of the Print / Fax server and the second entry is the name of the Print / Fax server (the name must be the same as the one you put in the /etc/hosts file).

If the rarp daemon is not already running, start it (depending on the system the command can be rarpd, rarpd -a, in.rarpd -a or something else; type man rarpd or refer to your system documentation for additional information). To verify that the rarp daemon is running on a Berkeley UNIX-based system, type the following command:

ps -ax | grep -v grep | grep rarpd

For AT&T UNIX-based systems, type:

ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep rarpd

The Brother Print / Fax server will get the IP address from the rarp daemon when it is powered on.

CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION

Using BOOTP to Configure the IP Address

BOOTP is an alternative to rarp that has the advantage of allowing configuration of the subnet mask and gateway. In order to use BOOTP to configure the IP address make sure that BOOTP is installed and running on your host computer (it should appear in the /etc/services file on your host as a real service; type man bootpd or refer to your system documentation for information). BOOTP is usually started up via the /etc/inetd.conf file, so you may need to enable it by removing the "#" in front of the bootp entry in that file. For example, a typical bootp entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file would be:

#bootp dgram udp wait /usr/etc/bootpd bootpd -i

Depending on the system, this entry might be called "bootps" instead of "bootp".

In order to enable BOOTP, simply use an editor to delete the "#" (if there is no "#", then BOOTP is already enabled). Then edit the BOOTP configuration file (usually /etc/bootptab) and enter the name, network type (1 for Ethernet), Ethernet address and the IP address, subnet mask and gateway of the Print / Fax server. Unfortunately, the exact format for doing this is not standardized, so you will need to refer to your system documentation to determine how to enter this information (many UNIX systems also have template examples in the bootptab file that you can use for reference). Some examples of typical /etc/bootptab entries include:

BRN_310107 1 00:80:77:31:01:07 192.189.207.3

and:

BRN_310107:ht=ethernet:ha=008077310107:\ ip=192.189.207.3:

Certain BOOTP host software implementations will not respond to BOOTP requests if you have not included a download filename in the configuration file; if this is the case, simply create a null file on the host and specify the name of this file and its path in the configuration file.

As with rarp, the Print / Fax server will load its IP address from the BOOTP server when the MFC is powered on.

CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION

Changing the IP Address settings with the TELNET Console

You can also use the TELNET command to change the IP address. Using TELNET is effective way, when you change the IP address. But a valid IP address must already be programmed into the Print / Fax server.

If you are using the TELNET, you will be expected to enter the password of the Print / Fax server. Press RETURN and enter the default password of "access" in response to the "#" prompt (it will not echo).

You will be prompted for a user name. Enter anything in response to this prompt.

You will then get the Local> prompt. Type SET IP ADDRESS ipaddress, where ipaddress is the desired IP address you wish to assign to the Print / Fax server (check with your network manager for the IP address to use). For example:

Local> SET IP ADDRESS 192.189.207.3

You will now need to set the subnet mask by typing SET IP SUBNET subnet mask, where subnet mask is the desired subnet mask you wish to assign to the Print / Fax server (check with your network manager for the subnet mask to use). For example:

Local> SET IP SUBNET 255.255.255.0

If you do not have any subnets, use one of the following default subnet masks:

255.255.255.0 for class C networks

255.255.0.0 for class B networks

255.0.0.0 for class A networks

The leftmost group of digits in your IP address can identify the type of network you have. The value of this group ranges from 192 through 255 for Class C networks (e.g., 192.189.207.3), 128 through 191 for Class B networks (e.g.,128.10.1.30), and 1 through 127 for Class A networks (e.g., 13.27.7.1).

If you have a gateway (router), enter its address with the command SET IP ROUTER routeraddress, where routeraddress is the desired IP address of the gateway you wish to assign to the Print / Fax server. For example:

Local> SET IP ROUTER 192.189.207.1

To verify that you have entered the IP information correctly, type SHOW IP.

Type EXIT or CTR-D (i.e., hold down the control key and type "D") to end the remote console session.

STATIC mode

In this mode the MFC IP address must be manually assigned. Once entered the IP address is locked to the assigned address.

AUTO mode

In this mode, the MFC 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 MFC, then the IP address supplied by the DHCP server will used. If no DHCP server is available, then the MFC will scan for a BOOTP server. If a BOOTP server is available, and it is configured correctly, the MFC will take its IP address from the BOOTP server. After it is initially powered ON, it may take a few minutes for the MFC to scan the network for a server.

If your MFC supports “POWER SAVE mode” and you are using the AUTO Boot mode, POWER SAVE must be set to OFF.

As with rarp, the Print / Fax server will load its IP address from the BOOTP server when the printer is powered on.

DHCP mode

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP address allocation. If you have DHCP Server in your network (typically a Unix, Windows

NT®/2000 or Novell Netware network) the Print / Fax server will automatically obtains its IP address from DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.

If you do not want your Print / Fax server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the BOOT METHOD to static, this will prevent the Print / Fax server from trying to obtain an IP address from any of these systems. To change the BOOT METHOD, use the print front panel (for those printers that have a LCD panel, TELNET (using the SET IP METHOD command), Web browser or by using the BRAdmin application.

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] button 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). You can enable the Limit Size of the Sent Mail feature. The machine will display “Out of Memory” when trying to send E-mail documents over 1Mbyte 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. You can turn on this feature through the Web Management utility or the LAN function mode.

Using Scan to E-mail

Scan to E-mail gives users the capability of scanning documents directly from the MFC to E-mail accounts anywhere in the world in either black and white (Mono) or color. The documents arrive in the E-mail inbox as file attachments. They can be viewed using Microsoft Systems. Alternatively there is a viewer supplied on the CD-ROM of your MFC.

Imaging supplied with the Windows® Operating

Important Information. When sending multi page data as a color JPEG the pages appear as separate JPEG attachments to the E-mail.

Before attempting to Scan to E-mail please see Getting Connected on Page 2.

The method of sending documents with Scan to E-mail is the same as sending an Internet Fax as described above on Page 3.

When using Mono Scan to E-mail, documents will be transmitted in TIFF-F file format at Standard or Fine mode (i.e. 200 × 100 / 200 × 200DPI). Even if you select S. Fine mode or Photo mode, your document always will be transmitted in Fine mode always will be transmitted in Fine mode.

When using Color Scan to E-mail, documents can be transmitted as JPEG images in different resolutions 150×150dpi (Standard), 300×300dpi (Fine) or 600 × 600dpi (Super Fine) by the method described above.

CHAPTER 4 INTERNET FAX

Receiving E-mail or Internet Fax

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

• POP3 receiving at regular intervals

• POP3 receiving (manually initiated)

Using POP3 receiving the MFC machine must poll the E-mail server to receive the print jobs. This polling can occur at set intervals (for example, you can configure the MFC to poll the E-mail server at 10 minute intervals) or you can manually poll the server by pressing the Shift + Start button.

If your MFC starts to receive E-mail print jobs, the LCD panel will reflect this activity. For example, you will see "RECEIVING" on the LCD panel followed by "xx MAIL(S)". If you press the Shift + Start buttons to manually poll the Email server for E-mail print jobs and there are no mail documents waiting to be printed, the MFC 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 MFC’s memory. This data will be printed automatically after paper is re-inserted into the machine. 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 error mail is automatically deleted from the E-mail Server.

CHAPTER 4 INTERNET FAX

Receiving an Internet Fax to a PC

When a PC receives an Internet Fax document, the document is attached to a mail message that informs the PC that it is receiving a document from an Internet Fax. This is notified in the Subject field of the received mail message.

If the PC to which you wish to send a document is not running Windows 98/98SE/Me or Windows

NT®4.0/2000 operating system, please inform the PC’s

95/

owner that software must be downloaded for documents in the TIFF-F format to be viewed.

You can download a TIFF-F viewer from the Brother Web site (http://www.solutions.brother.com). You can also use “ Microsoft is supplied with Windows versions of Windows

95/98/Me or Windows® NT®4.0/2000 but some older

CHAPTER 4 INTERNET FAX

Relay Broadcasting

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

If you wish to use your MFC as a relay broadcast device, you must specify the domain name that you trust at the MFC, in other words, the portion of the domain after the ‘@’ sign.

A trusted domain refers to the E-mail address. For example, if your address is bob@brothernjk.com, then we identify the domain as brothernjk.com. If your Email address is jack@brothernjk.com, then we identify the domain as brothernjk.com. Use care in selecting a trusted domain since any user on a trusted domain will be able to send a Relay Broadcast.

Relay Broadcast can support the relay of a document up to a maximum of 48 Fax machines through conventional telephone lines.

This function is only for monochrome models.

UKFAX@brother.co.uk(fax#123456789)

Your MFC has an E-mail address of FAX@brother.com, you wish to send a document from this machine to another MFC 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 MFC machine in the @brother.com domain.

After the trusted domain is set you can send the document from your MFC [I.E. FAX@brother.com] by entering the E-mail address of the MFC [I.E. 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.

CHAPTER 4 INTERNET FAX

TX Verification Mail

Transmission Verification Mail supports two separate functions. Verification Mail for sending allows you request notification from the receiving station that the I-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 I-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)

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

Mail Disposition Notification – This field requests the status of the I-Fax / E-mail message after delivery through the SMTP (send mail transfer protocol) transport system. Once the message has arrived at the Receiving station this data is used when the MFC or user reads or prints the received I-Fax or E-mail. For example, if the message is opened for reading or is printed the receiving station sends back a notification to the original sending machine or user.

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

Setup Mail (RX)

There are three possible settings for this option ON/MDN/OFF.

Receive Notification “ON”

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

Report messages consist of

SUCCESS: …………………….. or FAILURE: ………………………

4-11

Page 55

CHAPTER 4 INTERNET FAX

Receive Notification “MDN”

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

Receive Notification “OFF”

OFF – Switches all forms of receive notification OFF, no messages are send back to the sending station regardless of the request.

Error mail

If there is a mail delivery error while sending an Internet Fax, the mail server will send an error message back to the MFC 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 MFC was not in a TIFF-F format.”).

Important information on Internet Fax

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 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 huge, there is a possibility of unsuccessful transmission.

• You cannot change font and character size of Internet mail that you received.

How to Printing using NetBIOS on Windows 95/98/Me/NT®/2000

Overview

CHAPTER 7 NETBIOS PEER-TO-PEER PRINTING

Brother's Print / Fax server range supports SMB (Server Message Block) over the TCP/IP protocol via the NetBIOS interface. This means that just like regular Windows main advantage of NetBIOS printing is that you are able to print from legacy DOS applications that are running on PC’s that are connected to Microsoft networks.

Quick Tips:

PC’s, Brother printers can appear in your network neighborhood. The

1. The default IP address of Brother Print / Fax servers is 192.0.0.192. To

change it, use the MFC’s front panel, the BRAdmin application, or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.

2. Refer to chapter 1 of this user guide to learn how to configure the IP

address on your printer.

3. The default login names are “user” for users and “admin” for

administrators and the default password for Brother Print / Fax servers is "access".

4. The default domain name of the Print / Fax server is WORKGROUP, to

change it use your web browser or the BRAdmin application.

7-1

Page 71

CHAPTER 7 NETBIOS PEER-TO-PEER PRINTING

Print / Fax Server Configuration

In order for this function to work, you must correctly change the DOMAIN name or WORKGROUP name to match that of your network. Once this is done, the Print / Fax server will appear automatically in your network neighborhood and you will be able to send print documents to it without having to install additional software. However, in some instances you may find that your Windows 95/98/Me and Windows® NT®4.0/2000 systems may receive "Printer is busy" error messages when more that one person attempts to access the MFC. In this instance Brother has provided the "Brother NetBIOS Port Monitor" software which allows users to continue spooling print jobs while the printer is busy, down or out of paper. The port monitor will hold the jobs until the printer is again available.

When you install Windows belong to, the default workgroup name for Windows "WORKGROUP", however you could change this to anything you want. With Windows

NT®, Microsoft introduced the concept of "Domains". A domain

95/98/Me you are asked which workgroup you

95/98/Me is

offers centralized security management where as a workgroup offers distributed security management. The Print / Fax server does not care if your network consists of a Workgroup or a Domain, the only thing you must tell it is the name of the workgroup or domain. The Brother Print / Fax server automatically has a default workgroup/domain name of "WORKGROUP". If you need to change name, you can configure the Brother Print / Fax server to recognize this. There are four ways of doing this (If you are unsure about the name of your workgroup or domain, look in the identification tab in your network applet).

• Use BRAdmin (this utility can use the TCP/IP protocol or Netware IPX

protocol - no file server necessary).

• Use a Web browser, (the Print / Fax server must have a valid IP address and

your computer must also have a valid IP address); you can configure the IP address by using BRAdmin.

• TELNET, again your computer and printer must have a valid IP address.

• Use BRCONFIG for DOS (this utility requires a Netware file server and the

IPX protocol).

Because of the way that Microsoft networks work, the Print / Fax server may take several minutes to appear in the network neighborhood. You will also find that the Print / Fax server may take several minutes to disappear from the network neighborhood even if the printer is switched off. This is a feature of Microsoft workgroup and domain based networks.

7-2

Page 72

CHAPTER 7 NETBIOS PEER-TO-PEER PRINTING

Changing the workgroup/domain name using TELNET or BRCONFIG or a web browser

If you are unable to use the BRAdmin application or a web browser, you can use TELNET or the BRCONFIG Remote console program (BRCONFIG requires the IPX/SPX protocol to be installed on your PC).

When you are connected to the Print / Fax server, enter the default password "access" in response to the "#" prompt. Type in anything in response to the "Enter Username>" prompt, you will then be at the "Local>" prompt.

Now enter the command:

SET NETBIOS DOMAIN domainname EXIT

Where domainname is the name of the domain or workgroup that you are on. If you are not sure what your domain name or workgroup name is look in the Identification tab in your Windows

95/98/Me/NT®4.0 network applet.

You can also use a standard WWW browser to change the NetBIOS name, to do this connect to the Print / Fax server using its IP address and then select the "Configure NetBIOS" option from the Print / Fax server configuration screen, enter you workgroup/domain name into the "Domain Name" text box. Make sure you submit the changes.

8. You must now enter the server name and port name for actual Print / Fax

server. You can use the Browse button for searching the Print / Fax server, select the domain/workgroup name, and then the server is listed. If the Print / Fax server does not automatically appear in your browse list, then you must ensure that the domain name is configured correctly. Otherwise you must enter the name manually. The name should be compliant with UNC (Universal Name Convention). For example "\\NodeName\ServiceName".

Where NodeName is the NetBIOS name of the Brother Print / Fax server (the default name is usually BRN_xxxxxx, where "xxxxxx" is the last six digits of the Ethernet address), and ServiceName is the service name for NetBIOS of the Print / Fax server, by default it is BINARY_P1. For example:

\\BRN_310107\BINARY_P1

Overview

Brother's Brother Internet Print (BIP ) software, for Windows® 95/98/Me/NT®4.0, allows a PC user at one location, to send a print job to a Brother Printer at a remote location via the Internet. For example, a user on a PC in New York could print a document directly from his Microsoft Excel application program to a printer in Paris.

CHAPTER 8 BIP INTERNET PRINTING INSTALLATION

Brother Internet Print General Information

The BIP software is installed using a standard Windows® 95/98/Me/NT®4.0 Installation Wizard. It creates a virtual port on the Windows PC that operates in a similar way to the standard LPT1 printer port from the Application program point of view. The user can use the Windows 95/98/Me/NT®4.0 Print Manager to create a printer that uses this port along with a standard Windows

95/98/Me, NT®4.0-compatible printer. Any Windows

95/98/Me/NT®4.0

95/98/Me/NT®4.0 applications program can therefore print to this printer (and hence to the virtual port) without modification or operational procedure.

When a job is printed to the BIP virtual port, it is actually MIME-encoded (converted to a standard Internet E-mail message) and sent out to a Brother Print / Fax server at the remote location using Winsock This means that BIP is compatible with most common E-mail software packages. The only requirement is that the E-mail server be capable of sending E-mail message over the Internet.

In more detail, the procedure works in the following way:

• If you are connected to a Local Area Network, the E-mail message is passed

to the E-mail server, which in turn transmits the message out over the Internet using the SMTP protocol (Simple Mail Transport Protocol) to the remote Print / Fax server.

• If you are connecting via a modem directly to an Internet Service Provider

(ISP), the ISP handles the routing of the E-mail to the remote Print / Fax server.

• At the remote site, an E-mail server receives the E-mail message. The

remote Print / Fax server, which has its own E-mail address, uses the POP3 protocol (Post Office Protocol 3) to download the E-mail message from the server. It then decodes the attachment and prints it out on the printer.

If an E-mail is received that has not been configured to use the BIP virtual port driver, the printer will print the e-mail out as a text document.

CHAPTER 8 BIP INTERNET PRINTING INSTALLATION

Brother Internet Print Configuring the Brother Print / Fax server

The Print / Fax server can be configured using BRAdmin, by using a web browser, or by using the TELNET command.

Print / Fax server Configuration Checklist

Before configuring the Print / Fax server to receive BIP jobs, be sure that the Email server at the remote site (the receiving end) is configured to handle the TCP/IP POP3, and SMTP protocols (SMTP is only required if the notification feature is enabled).

1. Configure the POP3 server on the E-mail server at the remote site with a

mail account (Mailbox name) and password for the Brother Print / Fax server (generally, the mail account name will be the first part of the Email address; for example, if you assign the Email address emailprinter@xyz.com, then the mail account name would be emailprinter).

2. Make sure that the Print / Fax server is installed and running with

TCP/IP enabled and has a valid IP address assigned to it.

Because access to the E-mail server on most networks is usually restricted, you may need to have your network administrator check the configuration and add the mail account.

Novell NetWare Printing

How to configure Novell

NetWare Printing

Overview

Brother Print / Fax servers allow NetWare client PCs to print jobs on the same printer as TCP/IP or other network protocol users. All NetWare jobs are spooled through the Novell server and delivered to the printer when it is available.

Quick Tips:

1. The default IP address of Brother Print / Fax servers is 192.0.0.192. To

change it, use the print front panel (if applicable), the BRAdmin application, or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.

2. The default password for Brother Print / Fax servers is "access".

Page 90

CHAPTER 9 NOVELL NETWARE PRINTING

General Information

In order to use a Brother Print / Fax server on a NetWare network, one or more file servers must be configured with a print queue that the Print / Fax server can service. Users send their print requests to the file server's print queue, and the jobs are then spooled (either directly, or in the case of remote printer mode, via an intermediate Print / Fax server) to the appropriate Brother Print / Fax server.

The system administrator can create Bindery (NetWare 3), NDS (NetWare 3 and NetWare 4) based queues in a single environment without having to switch between applications by using the BRAdmin application.

NetWare 5 users wishing to configure an NDPS printer must use the NWADMIN application supplied with NetWare 5. Please note that it is possible to create IPX BINDERY or NDS based queues on a NetWare 5 system using the BRAdmin application.

You must install the Novell NetWare Client 32 if you wish to create queue information on your NetWare servers using the BRAdmin application.

If you can't use the BRAdmin application in your environment, you can create the queue using the traditional NetWare PCONSOLE utility or NWADMIN utilities, but you will then also need to use the Brother BRCONFIG utility, TELNET or a WWW browser to configure the Print / Fax server as described later in this chapter.

Brother Print / Fax servers can service up to 16 file servers and 32 queues.

9-2

Page 91

CHAPTER 9 NOVELL NETWARE PRINTING

Creating a NDPS Printer Using NWADMIN for NetWare5

With NetWare 5, Novell has released a new preferred printing system called Novell Distributed Print Services (NDPS). Before the Print / Fax server can be configured, NDPS must be installed on the NetWare 5 server and an NDPS Manager configured on the server.

For further information regarding NDPS printers and printing please refer to the “Other Sources of Information” section at the end of this chapter.

NDPS Manager

This creates a NDPS manager that interacts with services running at the server and manages an unlimited number of printer agents.

You have to create an NDPS manager within an NDS tree before creating serverbased printer agents. If the NDPS manager controls a printer attached directly to the server, you must load the manager on the server that the printer is attached to.

1. In NetWare administrator, navigate to the area you want the NDPS

manager to reside. Select Object | Create | NDPS Manager and click OK.

2. Enter an NDPS manager name.

3. Browse to a server (which has NDPS installed but no NDPS manager

installed) where you want to install the NDPS manager and then to the volume you want the NDPS manager database assigned to. Click create.

NDPS Broker

When NDPS is installed, an NDPS broker is loaded onto the network. One of the Broker services Resource Management Service allows Printer Drivers to be installed onto the server for use with Printer Agents.

To add a Printer Driver to the Broker:

4. Make sure the Resource Management Service is enabled.

5. Open the Broker Object's main window in NetWare Administrator.

6. Select the Resource Management view.

7. The Resource Management dialog appears. Select the Add Resources

button.

8. When the Manage Resources dialog appears, select the icon for the type

of driver you want to add. This will be a 3.1x, 95/98/Me or NT4.0 driver for NetWare 5. If you are using NDPS version 1 with NetWare 4.x only

3.1x and 95/98/Me options will be available. NDPS version 2 for NetWare 4.x will support NT drivers automatic download.

Current Resources window. Click the Add button.

10. The Add <resource type> dialog appears. The listed resources that

appear on this screen are currently installed.

11. Press the Browse button to locate the driver you want to add to the list.

The driver list appears possibly showing several printers. This should be the driver in different languages supported.

Creating a Printer Agent

1. In NetWare Administrator, select object | create | NDPS Printer. Enter

the NDPS printer name.

For further information regarding NDPS printers and printing please refer to the “Other Sources of Information” section at the end of this chapter.

2. If this is a new printer select create A New Printer Agent.

3. If there is already an NDS printer and you are upgrading it to use the

NDPS scheme, select Existing NDS printer object. You will then have to select which printer object you wish to upgrade.

4. Enter the name you wish the Printer Agent to be referred to and either

type the name of the NDPS Manager or click the radio button and select a NDPS Manager. Select the type of Port for the Printer Agent and Click OK.

5. You must now specify the type of connection that you are going to use.
