1 Introduction
Computer Network Basics
Overview
The network-connected Brother machine allows multiple computers
to carry out several independent print jobs on one machine.
To use the Brother machine through a network, you need to select a
protocol, configure the Print/Scan server, and set up the computers
you use.
Protocols
Protocols are the standardized sets of rules for transmitting data on
a network. Protocols allow the users to gain access to network-
connected resources.
■TCP/IP
This 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.
TCP/IP is suited to a large-scale network and is widely used for
company networks.
TCP/IP is also widely used as the print protocol. The Brother
machine can use the TCP/IP-based protocols such as LPR and
NetBIOS Name Resolution.

INTRODUCTION 1 - 2

Protocol Configuration Items
TCP/IP Configuration
• IP Address
• Subnet mask
• Gateway (when routers exist on your network)
■IP Address
An IP address is a series of numbers that identifies each computer
connected to a network. An IP address consists of four numbers
separated by dots. Each number is between 0 and 255. You must
allocate a unique IP address that is correct for the attached
network.
(Example) In a small network, set the IP addresses by changing
the final number.
192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3
■Subnet mask
Subnet masks restrict network communication, see example
below -
(Example) PC1 can talk to PC2
PC1 IP Address 193. 1. 2. 3
Subnet Mask 255. 255. 0. 0
PC2 IP Address 193. 1. 3. 4
Subnet Mask 255. 255. 0. 0
Here is an example of an IP address and a subnet mask.
IP Address 193. 1. 2. 3
Subnet Mask 255. 255. 0. 0
In the above example, we can communicate with anything that has
an IP address that begins with 193.1.X.X
■0denotes thatthereis nolimit to communication at this part
of the address.
