Page 11: Introduction
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 / Fax Server, and set up the computers you use.
Page 12: Protocol Configuration Items
Protocol Configuration Items TCP/IP Configuration • IP Address • Gateway (when routers exist on your network) IP Address An IP address is a series of numbers that identifies each computer connected to the Internet. An IP address consists of four numbers separated by dots.
Page 13 Gateway (and Router) A Gateway is the transfer device that passes data between networks. 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.
Page 14: Network Connection
Network Connection Types of Network There are various ways to configure and arrange networks and network printing depending on the office environment and requirements. We recommend to use this product in a Peer to Peer environment in which each computer directly sends and receives data to and from the Brother machine.
Page 15: Network Example
Network Example Example : Peer-to-Peer (TCP/IP) Windows Windows UNIX Router TCP/IP TCP/IP • Each computer needs the TCP/IP and Print Protocol configured. • The Brother machine needs to have an IP address configured. • If a TCP/IP environment has been already established, we recommend using Peer-to-Peer.
Page 16: Features
Features Overview The Brother Network Print / Fax Server allows your Brother machine to be shared on a 10/100Mbit Ethernet Network. Administration utilities provide easy configuration and management of your Brother machine. Once configured, it allows your machine to FAX documents over the Internet;...
Page 17: Internet Fax / Scan To E-Mail Server
Internet Fax / Scan to E-mail Server The Brother machine can be assigned an E-mail address allowing you to send, receive and forward documents on a Local Area Network and the Internet to PC's or other Internet Fax machines. Before using this function, you have to configure the necessary machine settings, such as Setup TCP/IP and Setup Internet of the LAN Main Setup menu by using the machine’s control panel as indicated in chapter 3.
Page 18: Tcp/Ip Configuration
TCP/IP Configuration Assigning TCP/IP Information (Basic) 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. The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically assigns an IP address from the range: 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255.
Page 19: Using The Machine's Control Panel To Allocate An Ip Address
Using the machine’s control panel to allocate an IP address Refer to chapter 3 for details on how to configure IP address information using the machine’s control panel. By using the control panel on the machine, you can program the IP address details at the same time that other machine parameters are configured.
Page 20: Using Bradmin Professional Utility And The Tcp/Ip Protocol To Set The Ip Address
Using BRAdmin Professional utility and the TCP/ IP Protocol to set the IP address If your PC is using the TCP/IP protocol, do the following: Select TCP/IP filter in the left frame of the main BRAdmin window. Select the Device menu and choose the Search Active Devices.
Page 21: Assigning Tcp/Ip Information Automatically (Advanced)
Assigning TCP/IP Information Automatically (Advanced) Using DHCP to Configure the IP address The 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/Linux or Windows 2000, XP network) the Print/Fax server will automatically obtains its IP address from DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and...
Page 22: Using Rarp To Configure The Ip Address
Using RARP to Configure the IP Address The Brother Print/Fax server’s 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...
Page 23 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.
Page 24: Front Panel Setup
Front Panel Setup LAN Main Setup Menu You can connect your machine into the network to use the Internet FAX, Network Scanner, Network PC-FAX, Network Printer and Network PhotoCapture Center. To use all the network functions, you can set up your machine using the control panel LAN menu.
Page 25: Setup Tcp/Ip

BOOT Method Menu/Set Press to select Auto, Static, RARP, BOOTP or Press DHCP. Menu/Set Press Stop/Exit Press Static mode In this mode the machine’s IP address must be manually assigned.
Page 26 RARP mode 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...
Page 27 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.
Page 28: Ip Address
IP Address 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 manager 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.
Page 29: Gateway
Gateway This field displays the current gateway or router address used by the machine. If you are not using DHCP or BOOTP to obtain the gateway or router address, enter the address you wish to assign. If you do not have a gateway or router, leave this field blank.
Page 30: Wins Server

The problem may be the result of mismatched or duplicate IP address. Verify that the IP address is correctly loaded into the Print/Fax server (via the configuration page. Make sure that no other nodes on the network have this address (DUPLICATE IP ADDRESS ARE THE BIGGEST CAUSE OF TCP/IP PRINTING PROBLEMS).
Page 77: Brother Internet Print (Tcp/Ip) Troubleshooting
Brother Internet Print (TCP/IP) Troubleshooting The first step in troubleshooting is to make sure that you have a valid E-mail connection on both the sending PC and the receiving Print/Fax server. Try sending an E-mail message from the PC to a user at the remote site who can receive mail via the POP3 server.
