Network connection example
Generally there are two types of network connections. Peer-to-Peer and Network Shared environment.
Peer-to-Peer printing using TCP/IP
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.
TCP/IP
1 Router
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 5.
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.
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.
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 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
The following TCP/IP protocols are available on this Brother product.
You can configure the protocol settings by using the HTTP web browser. See Using Web Based
Management web browser to change the print/scan settings on page 14.
For the protocols of security features, see Security protocols on page 47.
DHCP/BOOTP/RARP
By using the DHCP/BOOTP/RARP protocols, the IP address can be automatically configured.
To use the DHCP/BOOTP/RARP protocols, please contact your network administrator.
APIPA
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.

Overview
Before you can use your Brother machine on your network, you need to install the Brother software and also
configure the appropriate TCP/IP network settings on the machine itself. To do this, we recommend that you
use the automatic installer on the Brother CD-ROM as this will guide you through the software and network
installation.
If you do not wish to use the automatic installer, or you do not understand some of the terms used by the
automatic installer, refer to the remainder of this chapter for more information.
If you do not wish to, or are unable to use the automatic installer or any of Brother s software tools, you
can also use the machine s control panel to change network settings. For more information, see Control
panel setup on page 16.
IP addresses, subnet masks and gateways
To use the machine in a networked TCP/IP environment, you need to configure its 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 number.
192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3
How the IP address is assigned to your print server:
If you have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server in your network typically a UNIX
, Windows Server
from the DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.
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 79, Using BOOTP to configure the IP address on page 80 and Using RARP to configure the
IP address on page 81.
2003 network the print server will automatically obtain its IP address
/Linux or Windows
2000/XP,
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 81.
If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the 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 10.
Subnet mask
Subnet masks restrict network communication.
Example: Computer1 can talk to Computer 2
Computer 1
IP Address: 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Computer 2
IP Address: 192.168.1.3
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.
Using the BRAdmin Light utility to configure your machine for the network
printer
The BRAdmin Light utility is designed for initial setup of the Brother network connected devices. It also can
search for Brother products in a TCP/IP environment, view the status and configure basic network settings,

BOOT Method
This selection controls how the machine obtains the IP address for itself. The default setting is Auto.
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 Professional utility, Remote Setup or Web Based Management web browser.

Press Stop/Exit.
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, then the machine will scan for a BOOTP server. If a BOOTP server
is available, and it is configured correctly, the machine will take its IP address from the BOOTP server. If a
BOOTP server is not available, the machine will scan for a RARP server. If a RARP server also does not
answer, the IP Address is scanned through APIPA facility, see Using APIPA to configure the IP
address on page 81. After it 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.
RARP mode
The Brother print server IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP RARP service on your host
computer. For more information on RARP, see Using RARP to configure the IP address on page 81. 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:
:: BRN310107
Where the first entry is the Ethernet address of the print server and the second entry is the name of the print
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
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 server will get the IP address from the RARP daemon when it is powered on.
based system, type the
BOOTP mode
BOOTP is an alternative to RARP that has the advantage of allowing configuration of the subnet mask and
gateway. For more information on BOOTP, see Using BOOTP to configure the IP address on page 80. 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 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
examples in the bootptab file that you can use for reference. Some examples of typical /etc/bootptab entries
include:
BRN310107 1
and:
BRN310107: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 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 a DHCP server in your network typically a UNIX
Vista
network the print server will automatically obtain its IP address from a DHCP server and register its
name with any RFC 1001 and 1002 compliant dynamic name services.

This field displays the current IP address of the machine. If you have selected 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 selected 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.
