1Introduction
Overview
The Brother machine can be shared on a 10/100 Mb wired or IEEE 802.11b/802.11g wireless Ethernet
network using the internal network print server. The print server supports various functions and methods of
connection depending on the operating system you are running on a network supporting TCP/IP. These
functions include printing, scanning, PC-FAX send, PC-FAX receive, PhotoCaptureTM Center, Remote Setup
and Status Monitor. The following chart shows what network features and connections are supported by each
operating system.
To use the Brother machine through a network, you need to configure the print server, and set up the
computers you use.
For Wireless Users:
To achieve optimum results with normal every day document printing, place the Brother machine as close to
the network 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 photos on glossy paper or 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.

■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 described on the following page. See Network
Shared printing on page 1-4.
■Each computer must use the TCP/IP Protocol.
■The Brother machine needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration.
■If you are using a router, the Gateway address must be configured on the computers and the Brother
machine.
■The Brother machine can also communicate with Macintosh®(TCP/IP compatible operating systems)
devices.
Network Shared printing
In a Network Shared environment, each computer sends and receives data to and from the Brother machine
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.
■In a larger network, we recommend a Network Shared printing environment.
■The “server” or the “print server” must use the TCP/IP print protocol.

Wireless network connection example
Connected to wireless capable computer with an access point in the network (Infrastructure
mode)
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.

Connected to wireless capable computer without an access point in the network (Ad-hoc
mode)
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.
An access point is in the network, but the computer is not wireless capable
This type of network has a central access point at the heart of the network. The access point is connected to
a computer which is not wireless capable with the Ethenet cable. When the Brother wireless machine (your
machine) is a part of this network, it receives all print jobs via an access point.

Protocols
TCP/IP protocols and functions
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®, Macintosh®and Linux.
The following TCP/IP protocols are available on this Brother product.
DHCP/BOOTP/RARP
By using the DHCP/BOOTP/RARP protocols, the IP address can be automatically configured.
Note
To use the DHCP/BOOTP/RARP protocols, please contact your network administrator.
APIPA
If you do not assign an IP address manually (using 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.
DNS client
The Brother print server supports the Domain Name Service (DNS) client function. This function allows the
print server to communicate with other devices by using its DNS name.
LPR/LPD
Commonly used printing protocols on a TCP/IP network.
Port9100
Another commonly used printing protocol on a TCP/IP network.

Introduction

mDNS
mDNS allows the Brother print server to automatically configure itself to work in a Mac OS®X Simple Network
Configured system. (Mac OS®X 10.2.4 or greater).
TELNET
The Brother print server supports TELNET server for command line configuration.
SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used to manage network devices including computers,
routers and Brother network ready machines.

2Configuring your machine for a network with an
Ethernet cable connection
Overview
Before using your Brother machine in a network environment, you must configure the TCP/IP settings. In this
chapter you will learn the basic steps required to print over the network using the TCP/IP protocol.
Note
You can configure the machine’s TCP/IP settings using the control panel on the front of the machine. For
further information, see Control panel setup on page 4-1.
We recommend that you use the automatic installer application in the CD-ROM we have provided with the
machine. By using this application, you can easily connect your machine to your network and install the
network software and printer driver which you need to complete the network configuration. You will be guided
by the on-screen instructions until you are able to use your Brother machine on the network. Please follow
the instructions in the supplied Quick Setup Guide.
If you want to configure your machine without using the automatic installer application, please read this
chapter and learn how to configure the TCP/IP settings. Then, in Chapter 5 (for Windows
®
) and Chapter 6
(for Macintosh
®
), you will learn how to install the network software and the printer driver into the operating
system running on your computer.
IP addresses, subnet masks and gateways
To use the machine in a networked TCP/IP environment, you need to configure the 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
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 numbers.
192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3

Configuring your machine for a network with an Ethernet cable connection
2 - 2

How the IP address is assigned to your print server:
If you have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server in your network (typically a UNIX®/Linux or Windows®2000/XP
network) the print server will automatically obtain its IP address from the DHCP server.
Note
On smaller networks, the DHCP server may be the router.
For more information on DHCP, BOOTP and RARP, see Using DHCP to configure the IP address on page
A-1, Using BOOTP to configure the IP address on page A-1 and Using RARP to configure the IP address on
page A-2.
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 A-3.
If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is 192.0.0.192. However,
you can easily change this IP address number to match with the IP address details of your network. For
information on how to change the IP address, see Setting the IP address and subnet mask on page 2-3.
Subnet mask
Subnet masks restrict network communication.
Example: PC1 can talk to PC2
PC1 IP Address:192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
PC2 IP Address:192.168.1.3
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Note
0 denotes that there is no limit to communication at this part of the address.
In the above example, we can communicate with anything that has an IP address that begins with
192.168.1.X

Gateway (and router)
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.
Setting the IP address and subnet mask
