Types of network connections 1
Wired network connection example 1
Generally there are two types of network connections: Peer-to-Peer and Network Shared environment.
Peer-to-Peer printing using TCP/IP 1
In a Peer-to-Peer environment, each computer directly sends and receives data to each device. There is no
central server controlling file access or printer sharing.
1Router
2 Network printer (your machine)
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 6.
Each computer must use the TCP/IP Protocol.
The Brother machine needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration.
If you are using routers, 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).

Network Shared printing 1
In a Network Shared environment, each computer sends data 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.
1 Client computer
2 Also known as “Server” or “Print server”
3 TCP/IP or USB (where available)
4 Printer (your machine)
In a larger network, we recommend a Network Shared printing environment.
The “server” or the “print server” must use the TCP/IP print protocol.
The Brother machine needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration unless the machine is
connected via the USB interface at the server.

Wireless network connection examples (For MFC-9325CW only) 1
Connected to a computer with an access point on the network (Infrastructure mode) 1
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.
1 Access point
2 Wireless network printer (your machine)
3 Wireless capable computer communicating with the access point
4 Wired computer which is not wireless capable connected to the access point with the Ethernet
cable
Connected to a wireless capable computer without an access point on the network
(Ad-hoc mode) 1
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.

Protocols 1
TCP/IP protocols and functionalities 1
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) protocol.
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®, Windows Server®, Macintosh and Linux®.
The following TCP/IP protocols are available on this Brother product.
Note
• You can configure the protocol settings by using the HTTP interface (web browser).
See How to configure the machine settings using Web Based Management (web browser) on page 92.
• For information about supported security protocols, see Security protocols on page 113.
DHCP/BOOTP/RARP 1
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 1
If you do not assign an IP address manually (using the control panel of the machine or 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.
ARP 1
Address Resolution Protocol performs mapping of an IP address to MAC address in a TCP/IP network.
