1 Unix® Printing 1 Printing from UNIX®/Linux Using TCP/ IP Overview Brother print servers are supplied with the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite. Since virtually all UNIX® host computers support TCP/IP, this capability allows a printer to be shared on a UNIX® Ethernet network.
4 The default name for a Brother print server is usually BRN_xxxxxx (where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address of the print server). 5 When configuring the PRINTCAP file, pay particular attention to the service names, BINARY_P1 and TEXT_P1. TCP/IP Brother print servers appear to the network as a UNIX® host computer with a unique IP address running the lpd (line printer daemon) protocol.
The actual format of the entry may vary depending on your system, check your system documentation and also note the format of other entries in the /etc/hosts file. The node name in this file does not necessarily need to be the same as the one that is actually configured into the Brother print server (the name that appears on the Network Configuration Page), however, it is good practice to make the names the same.
3 Configure the /etc/printcap file on each host computer to specify the local print queue, the print server name (also called remote machine or rm), and the print server service name (also called remote printer, remote queue, or rp), and the spool directory. This step applies to the majority of UNIX® systems, including Linux, Sun OS (but not Solaris 2.xx), Silicon Graphics (lpr/lpd option required), DEC ULTRIX, DEC OSF/1, and Digital UNIX®.
The rm and rp options are not available on some UNIX® systems, so if necessary check your documentation to determine the equivalent options. Users of Berkeley-compatible UNIX® systems can use the lpc command to obtain the printer status: %lpc status laser1: queuing is enabled printing is enabled no entries no daemon present Users of AT&T-compatible UNIX® systems can generally use the lpstat or rlpstat commands to obtain similar status information.
Linux Configuration If you do not wish to use the command line interface to configure your Linux distribution, you may wish to use the Linux Printer System Manager application on your GUI. To do this, do the following: 1 From the Linux Printer System Manager screen, click the Add button. 2 You will now be asked to specify which Printer type you are using, select the Remote UNIX (lpd) Queue option and click OK. 3 You must now specify the remote host name, remote queue name and the input filter to use.
HP-UX Configuration In the case of HP-UX10.xx, the sam program is used to set up the remote printer. The steps are as follows: 1 Execute the sam program. From the list of options, select Printers and Plotters. 2 Select LP Spooler. 3 Select Printers and Plotters. 4 Select Actions and then Add Remote Printer/Plotter. 5 Enter any name as the Printer Name (this will be the name of the print queue). 6 Enter the IP address of the print server as the Remote System Name.
Earlier versions of HP-UX use similar procedures to 10.xx users: 1 Enter sam and select Peripheral Devices and then Add Remote Printer (not Networked printer). 2 Enter the following remote printer settings (the other settings do not matter): ■ Line printer name (user-selectable). ■ Remote system name (the print server name; must match what is in hosts file or use print server IP address). ■ Remote printer queue (Print server binary or text service name, e.g. BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1).
The procedure for pre-V4.0 systems is as follows. 1 Enter smit and select devices. 2 Select printer/plotter. 3 Select manage remote printer subsystem. 4 Select client services. 5 Select remote printer queues. 6 Select add a remote queue. 7 Enter the following remote queue settings: ■ Name of queue to add (user selectable). ■ Activate the queue (Yes).
If this is the first printer configured, you must also use the lpsched command prior to the accept command. As an alternative, you may use Printer Manager in the Admintool utility under OpenWindows. Select Edit, Add, and Add Access to Remote Printer. Then enter the print server name in the format prnservername!\prnserverservice as described above. Make sure that the printer server OS is set to BSD (the default setting), and click Add.
SCO UNIX® requires TCP/IP V1.2 or later to work with Brother print servers. You must first configure the /etc/hosts and /etc/ printcap files as described in step 2. Then run the sysadmsh program as follows: 1 Select Printers. 2 Select Configure. 3 Select Add. 4 Enter the name of the print queue you entered in the /etc/ printcap file as the Printer name. 5 Enter anything as the Comment, and Class name. 6 For the Use printer interface select Existing.
Use the following one-line OS/400 command to create the LPD queue: CRTOUTQ OUTQ( RMSTSYS (*INTNETADR) RMTPRTQ() AUTOSTRWTR(1) CNNTYPE(*IP) DESTTYPE (*OTHER) MFRTYPMDL () INTNETADR('') TEXT ('') where is the new AS/400 print queue name, is the print server service name (BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1) is the OS/400 printer driver name (*HP4 is recommended if in doubt), and is the IP address of the print server.
OS/400 version 4, 5, 5.1 You can also use the following command line to create a printer definition: CRTDEVPRT DEVD(BR2) DEVCLS(*LAN) TYPE(3812) MODEL(1) LANATTACH(*IP) PORT(9100) FONT(011) PARITY(*NONE) STOPBITS(1) TRANSFORM(*YES) MFRTYPMDL(*HP5SI) PPRSRC1(*A4) PPRSRC2(*A4) RMTLOCNAME('10.0.0.200') SYSDRVPGM(*HPPJLDRV) TEXT('Arnes Printer') Other Systems Other systems use similar programs to set up print servers.
On some systems it is also necessary to start the daemon. This is done on Berkeley-compatible UNIX® systems with the lpc start command as shown in the following example: lpc start laser1 Other Sources of Information 1 Visit http://solutions.brother.com for more information on network printing. 2 Refer to chapter 9 of this User’s Guide to learn how to configure the IP address of the printer.

This means that just like regular Windows® PC's, Brother printers can appear in your network neighborhood.
Print Server Configuration In order for this function to work, you must correctly change the domain name or workgroup name to match that of your network. Once this is done, the print server will appear automatically in your network neighborhood and you will be able to send print documents to it without having to install additional software. However, in some instances you may find that your Windows® 95/98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT®4.
Because of the way that Microsoft networks work, the print server may take several minutes to appear in the network neighborhood. You will also find that the print server may take several minutes to disappear from the network neighborhood even if the printer is switched off. This is a feature of Microsoft workgroup and domain based networks.
NetBIOS Port Monitor for Windows® 95/98/Me/ 2000/XP and Windows NT®4.0 This software requires the TCP/IP transport protocols to be installed on your Windows® 95/98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT®4.0 computer. To install those protocols refer to your Windows® documentation. If you are using the TCP/IP protocol, the proper IP address should be defined on both the Brother print server and your client PC.
7 You must now enter the server name and port name for the actual print server. You can use the Browse button to search for the print server, select the domain/workgroup name, and then the server is listed. If the print server does not automatically appear in your browse list, then you must ensure that the domain name is configured correctly. Otherwise you must enter the name manually. The name should be compliant with UNC (Universal Name Convention). For example: \\NodeName\ServiceName.

Workstation Configuration: On each workstation that you wish to print from, execute the following step: Go to the DOS or OS/2 command prompt and enter the command: NET USE LPTx: \\NodeName\ServiceName Where x is the LPT port number (1 through 9), NodeName is the NetBIOS Name of the print server (usually BRN_xxxxxx by default, where xxxxxx is the last six digits of Ethernet address) and ServiceName is the service name of the print server (BINARY_P1 by default). For example: NET USE LPT2: \\BRN_310107\BINARY_
5 Configuring Internet 5 Printing for Windows® Internet Printing Installation Overview Brother's Brother Internet Print (BIP) software, for Windows® 95/98/ Me and Windows NT®4.0, allows a PC user at one location to send a print job to a Brother Printer at a remote location via the Internet. For example, a user on a PC in New York could print a document directly from his Microsoft Excel application program to a printer in Paris.
5 Windows® 95/98/Me users can send print jobs using the IPP protocol via Windows® 2000 computer, provided that the Microsoft Internet Print Services software is installed on the client PC, Internet Information Server (IIS) is installed and running on the server and that the client PC is using version 4 or later of Microsoft Internet Explorer. Brother Internet Print General Information The BIP software is installed using a standard Windows® 95/98/Me/ 2000/XP and Windows NT®4.0 Installation Wizard.
■ At the remote site, an E-mail server receives the E-mail message. The remote print server, which has its own E-mail address, uses the POP3 protocol (Post Office Protocol 3) to download the E-mail message from the e-mail server. It then decodes the attachment and prints it out on the printer. If an E-mail is received that has not been configured to use the BIP virtual port driver, the printer will print the E-mail out as a text document.
Brother Internet Print: Using BRAdmin to Configure the Print Server Skip this section if you wish to use the print server remote console or Web Browser to configure the print server. Using the BRAdmin Professional utility, you can configure the Brother print server using the TCP/IP protocol, or the IPX protocol. The steps required to configure the print server to receive print jobs from a Windows® 95/98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT®4.0 PC running the BIP software is as follows: 1 Start BRAdmin.
7 The print server is configured by default to poll the POP3 server every 30 seconds. You may change this value, if desired. 8 If you have enabled notification, enter the address of your SMTP server (consult your network administrator if you do not know this address). 9 Click the OK button and save the changes. Now exit the BRAdmin application. You have now configured the print server to receive print jobs.
1 When you get the Local> prompt after connecting to the console, enter the command: SET POP3 ADDRESS address where ipaddress is the address of your POP3 server (consult with your network administrator if you do not know this address). 2 Enter the command: SET SET POP3 POP3 NAME mailboxname PASSWORD emailpassword where mailboxname is the name of the remote print server mailbox and emailpassword is the password associated with this mailbox.
Setup from CD-ROM 1 Start the CD-ROM installation menu program according to the Quick Setup Guide. 2 Select the proper model and Install Software menu. Click For Administrators. Then select the Network Print Software menu to start the Brother Network Print Software installation program. 3 Click the Next button in response to the Welcome message. 4 Select the Brother Internet Print button. 5 Select the desired directory to install the BIP files and then click Next.

6 Novell® NetWare® Printing 6 How to Configure Novell® NetWare® Printing Overview Brother print servers allow NetWare® client PCs to print jobs on the same printer as TCP/IP or other network protocol users. All NetWare® jobs are spooled through the Novell® server and delivered to the printer when it is available. Quick Tips: 1 If you create a NDPS Printer for Netware® 5, you have to configure the IP address of the print server in advance.
General Information In order to use a Brother print server on a NetWare® network, one or more file servers must be configured with a print queue that the print server can service. Users send their print requests to the file server's print queue, and the jobs are then spooled (either directly, or in the case of remote printer mode, via an intermediate NetWare® print server) to the appropriate Brother print server.
Creating a NDPS Printer Using NWADMIN for NetWare® 5 With NetWare® 5, Novell® has released a new preferred printing system called Novell® Distributed Print Services (NDPS). Before the print server can be configured, NDPS must be installed on the NetWare® 5 server and an NDPS Manager configured on the server. For further information regarding NDPS printers and printing, see the Other Sources of Information section at the end of this chapter.
NDPS Broker When NDPS is installed, an NDPS broker is loaded onto the network. One of the Broker services Resource Management Service allows Printer Drivers to be installed onto the server for use with Printer Agents. To add a Printer Driver to the Broker: 1 Make sure the Resource Management Service is enabled. 2 Open the Broker Object's main window in NetWare® Administrator 3 Select the Resource Management view. 4 The Resource Management dialog appears. Select the Add Resources button.
Creating a Printer Agent Follow the steps below to create a Printer Agent for the control access printer (NDS object). 1 In NetWare® Administrator, select object | create | NDPS Printer. Enter the NDPS printer name. 2 If this is a new printer select create A New Printer Agent. 3 If there is already an NDS printer and you are upgrading it to use the NDPS scheme, select Existing NDS printer object. You will then have to select which printer object you wish to upgrade.
5 Select None for the printer Type, and Novell Port Handler for the Port Handler Type. Then click OK. 6 You must now specify the type of connection that you are going to use. There are four possible options. Select the LPR over IP option. 7 Enter the relevant details of the printer and Brother recommends typing Binary_P1 for the printer name. Click finish and wait. Select the printer drivers for the client operating systems. You are now ready to print.

7 Printing From a Macintosh® 7 Printing From a Macintosh® Using AppleTalk® and TCP/IP or RendezvousTM Overview Brother print servers support the AppleTalk® protocol running over Ethernet (also known as EtherTalk®). This allows Macintosh® users to print at the same time as all other Ethernet network using the AppleTalk® (also referred to as EtherTalk®) protocol. NC-7100w Brother wireless print server supports Mac OS® X 10.1 to 10.3. You can use the TCP/IP printing capability for any Mac OS® X version.
Quick Tips: 1 The default name that will appear in the Print Center of a Macintosh® will usually be BRN_xxxxxx_P1_AT (where xxxxxx is the last 6 digits of the Ethernet address) 2 From a Macintosh® network, the easiest way to change this name is to assign an IP address to the printer and then use a Web browser to change the name. Connect to the printer using a web browser and then click on Network Configuration. Enter the password (the default password is access) then select Configure AppleTalk.
Macintosh® Configuration (Mac OS® X 10.1 to 10.3) The appropriate PPD file supplied with your printer must be installed. Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of your computer. Double click the Start Here OS X icon. Select your language and follow the on-screen instructions for Install Software. How to Select the Print Server (AppleTalk®/ EtherTalk®) After installing the PPD, use the following steps to select the printer driver: 1 Turn the power of the printer ON.
For AppleTalk® connections, the printer's AppleTalk® service name is BRN_XXXXXX_P1_AT, where XXXXXX is the last six digits of the Ethernet address. Printing the Network Configuration Page will allow you to confirm the MAC address. See How to Print a Network Configuration Page on page A-8 for information on how to print the Network Configuration Page on your print server.
Apple® RendezvousTM Printing Apple® RendezvousTM lets you create an instant network of computers and smart devices just by connecting them to each other. RendezvousTM support allows a RendezvousTM ready printer to automatically configure itself to work in a Mac OS® X RendezvousTM system. You do not need to manually configure any IP address or network settings within the printer as the printer will automatically configure itself. Please note that Brother recommends that you use Mac OS® X 10.2.
Changing the Configuration From a Macintosh®, the easiest way to change the printer or print server parameters is to use a web browser. Simply connect to the printer using the format: http://ip_address where ip_address is the address of the printer. Other Sources of Information 1 Visit http://solutions.brother.com for more information on network printing. 2 Refer to chapter 9 of this User’s Guide to learn how to configure the IP address of the printer.
8 Web Based Management 8 How to use a Web Browser to Manage Your Device Overview A standard Web Browser (we recommend Netscape Navigator version 4.0 or later/Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 or later) can be used to manage your printer using the HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol). You can get the following information from a printer on your network using a web browser: 1 Printer status information. 2 Take control of the printer’s control panel.
4 You can use a web browser on most computing platforms, for example, Macintosh® and Unix users are also able to connect to the printer and manage it. 5 You can also use the BRAdmin application to manage the printer and its network configuration. How to Connect to Your Printer Using a Browser Type http://printer’s IP Address / into your browser (you can also use the NetBIOS name of the print server, if you are in a Microsoft® Windows® domain/Workgroup environment).
9 TCP/IP Configuration 9 Assigning TCP/IP Information 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. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is 192.0.0.192.
These configuration methods are described in the following paragraphs. 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 router (gateway). Using the Printer Control Panel to Allocate an IP Address (Printers with LCD Panels Only) Refer to the Quick Setup Guide for details on how to configure IP address information using the printer control panel.
Using BRAdmin and the IPX/SPX Protocol to Set the IP Address If your PC is using the Novell® NetWare® Client software and is using the IPX/SPX protocol, do the following: 1 Select IPX/SPX filter in the left frame of the main window. 2 Check the print server name (the default node name is BRN_xxxxxx, where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address (MAC address)).
Using BRAdmin and the TCP/IP Protocol to Set the IP Address If your PC is using the TCP/IP protocol, do the following: 1 Select TCP/IP filter in the left frame of the main window. 2 Select the Device menu and choose the Search Active Devices. If the print server is set to its factory default settings, it will not appear in the BRAdmin screen. However, selecting the Search Active Devices option will force the BRAdmin Professional utility to find the device as an unconfigured device.
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, Windows NT®4.0, Windows® 2000 or Novell® NetWare® network) the print server will automatically obtains its IP address from DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.
Using ARP to Configure the Print Server IP Address If you are unable to use the BRAdmin application or the printer’s control panel and your network does not use a DHCP server, you can also use the ARP command. The ARP command is available on Windows® systems that have TCP/IP installed as well as UNIX® systems.
T You must be on the same Ethernet segment (that is, there cannot be a router between the print server and operating system) to use the arp -s command. If there is a router, you may use BOOTP or other methods described in this chapter to enter the IP address. If your Administrator has configured the system to deliver IP addresses using BOOTP, DHCP or RARP your Brother print server can receive an IP address from any one of these IP address allocation systems.
Using RARP to Configure the IP Address The Brother print 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 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).
Using BOOTP to Configure the IP Address BOOTP is an alternative to rarp that has the advantage of allowing configuration of the subnet mask and gateway. 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.
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.
If you do not have any subnets, use one of the following default subnet masks: 255.255.255.0 255.255.0.0 255.0.0.0 for class C networks for class B networks for class A networks The leftmost group of digits in your IP address can identify the type of network you have. The value of this group ranges from 192 through 255 for Class C networks (e.g., 192.189.207.3), 128 through 191 for Class B networks (e.g.,128.10.1.30), and 1 through 127 for Class A networks (e.g., 13.27.7.1).
You will then get the Local> prompt. Type SET IP ADDRESS ipaddress, where ipaddress is the desired IP address you wish to assign to the print server (check with your network manager for the IP address to use). For example: Local> SET IP ADDRESS 192.189.207.3 You will now need to set the subnet mask by typing SET IP SUBNET subnet mask, where subnet mask is the desired subnet mask you wish to assign to the print server (check with your network manager for the subnet mask to use).

Network Initial Setup Problems If having configured the necessary wireless network settings and you are unable to print, check the following: 1 Make sure that the printer is powered on, is on-line and ready to print. Verify that the printer and the configuration are good by printing the Network Configuration Page.
2 If the configuration page prints but you cannot print documents, try the following. If none of the following steps are successful, there is almost certainly a hardware or network problem! a Check to see if there is any LED activity. The Brother wireless print server has two LEDs (as shown in Figure 10-1.) POWER LED TX/RX LED Figure 10-1 LEDs Status POWER LED TX/RX LED Status Off Off The printer’s power switch is turned off.
b If you are using TCP/IP: Try pinging the print server from the host operating system command prompt with the command: ping ipaddress Where ipaddress is the print server IP address (note that in some instances it can take up to two minutes for the print server to initialize. c If you are using a Novell® system: Verify that the print server can be seen on the network.
Intermittent Problems If the print server and printer start up OK, but you intermittently have problems printing, check the following: 1 If you can print small jobs but large graphics jobs are distorted or incomplete, make sure that you have adequate memory in your printer and the latest printer driver installed on your computer. The latest Brother printer drivers can be downloaded from http://solutions.brother.
4 If you used rarp, make sure that you started the rarp daemon on any workstation using the rarpd, rarpd-a, or equivalent command. Verify that the /etc/ethers file contains the correct Ethernet address and that the print server name matches the name in the /etc/hosts file. 5 If you used bootp, make sure that you started the bootp daemon on any UNIX® workstation and bootp is enabled (i.e., the "#" is removed from the bootp entry) in the /etc/bootptab file is correctly configured.
5 Make sure that the lpr/lpd remote line printer service are running on the host computer (refer to your host computer documentation for information on how to do this). 6 If you are having trouble printing more than one job at a time, try increasing the IP timeout using the SET IP TIMEOUT command or using BRAdmin. 7 If text or PCL jobs are run together, try setting the service (remote printer) with EOT set to string number 2 (E).
2 If you are using DHCP and you have not created a reservation for the print server, make sure that you enter the NetBIOS name of the print server in the Name or address of server providing lpd box. Windows® 95/98/Me Peer to Peer Print (LPR) Troubleshooting If you are having trouble printing on a Windows® 95/98/Me Peer-toPeer network (LPR method), check the following: 1 Make sure that the Brother LPR Port driver is correctly installed and configured according to the Windows® 95/98/Me Peer-toPeer chapters.
Windows® 95/98/Me and Windows NT®4.0 Peer-toPeer Print (NetBIOS) Troubleshooting If you are having trouble printing on a Windows® 95/98/Me, Windows NT®4.0 or later Peer-to-Peer network (NetBIOS), check the following: 1 Make sure that the Brother NetBIOS Port driver is securely installed and configured according to the Windows® 95/98/Me or Windows NT®4.0 Peer-to-Peer (NetBIOS) chapters.
Windows® 95/98/Me/2000/XP IPP Troubleshooting Want to use a different Port number other than 631 If you are using Port 631 for IPP printing, you may find that your firewall may not let the print data through. If this is the case, use a different port number (port 80), or configure your Firewall to allow Port 631 data through. To send a print job using IPP to a printer using Port 80 (the standard HTTP port) enter the following when configuring your Windows® 2000/XP system.
Novell® NetWare® Troubleshooting If you cannot print from NetWare® and you have checked the hardware and network as described in the previous steps, first verify that the Brother print server is attached to the server queue by going to PCONSOLE, selecting PRINT QUEUE INFORMATION, and then CURRENTLY ATTACHED SERVERS. If the print server does not appear in the list of attached servers, then check the following: It is always a good idea to try followings in order to eliminate the possibility of setup errors.
6 If you are using DOS CAPTURE statement and losing portions of your print job, try setting the TIMEOUT parameter in your CAPTURE statement to a higher value (at least 50 seconds for Windows®).
A Appendix A A General Information You can change the configuration of your print server using any of the following methods. • Brother BRAdmin application for Windows® 95/98/Me, Windows NT®4.0 and Windows® 2000/XP • Brother Web BRAdmin application for IIS* • HTTP (using a web browser) • WebJetAdmin Software • TELNET (command utility) • Brother BRCONFIG NetWare® Utility (command utility) BRAdmin (Recommended) The Brother BRAdmin application can use the TCP/IP or IPX/SPX protocol.
HTTP (Recommended) Use your favorite web browser to connect to the Brother print server. This will allow you to configure printer and/or print server parameters. WebJetAdmin Brother's print server range is HP WebJetAdmin compatible. TELNET To connect to the print server using TELNET on UNIX®, Windows NT®4.0, or most other TCP/IP systems, type: TELNET ipaddress at the command prompt of the system prompt, where ipaddress is the IP address of the print server.
Using Services General A service is a resource that can be accessed by computers that wish to print to the Brother print server. The Brother print server provides the following predefined services (do a SHOW SERVICE command in the Brother print server remote console to see a list of available services): Enter HELP at the command prompt for a list of supported commands. Service (Example) Definition BINARY_P1 TCP/IP binary, NetBIOS service.
Reloading the Print Server Firmware General The firmware on the print server is stored in flash memory. This means that you can upgrade the firmware by downloading the appropriate update file. To get the latest firmware update, visit the Brother Solutions web site at http://solutions.brother.com/ Some software versions that we provide will automatically factory reset your print server parameters. We try to avoid doing this.
Reloading Firmware Using BRAdmin The BRAdmin application can be used to easily re-program your Brother print server. 1 Start BRAdmin. 2 Highlight the appropriate print server. Then select the Control menu and choose Load Firmware. You can select more than one print server by pressing CTRL+
If you encounter problems upgrading the firmware and you find that the network portion of the printer no longer functions, you should try re-programming the print server by using the COPY command from the DOS prompt of your PC. To do this, connect a parallel cable between your PC and printer and use the command COPY filename LPT1:/B (where filename is the new firmware file).
When you see "226 Data Transfer OK/Entering FirmWareUpdate mode", you can be sure that the firmware file is being transferred to the print server. If you do not see this message, the file you are sending to the printer will either be ignored or the printer will print garbage. You must use the "bin" command to put the FTP client into Binary communications mode. If you do not specify the bin command the upgrade process will not function correctly.
Other Information How to Print a Network Configuration Page To print the Network Configuration Page, use a fine ball point pen to hold down the Network Test Button of the printer for less than 5 seconds. Figure A-1 How to Reset to Factory Default Setting If you wish to reset the print server back to its default factory settings (resetting all information such as the password and IP address information), use a fine ball point pen to hold down the Network Test Button for more than 5 seconds.
B Appendix B B Wireless Network Introduction The Brother NC-7100w wireless print server supports the IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g wireless networking standards and can work in Infrastructure or Ad-hoc mode using common Wireless Authentication and security methods. Depending on the placement of the Brother NC-7100w wireless print server, distances of up to 90 meters can be reached.
Infrastructure Mode Infrastructure mode networks have 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 device is set in this mode, it receives all print jobs via an access point. Figure B-1 Ad-hoc Mode Ad-hoc networks (also sometimes referred to as peer-to-peer networks) do not have a central Access point. Each Wireless client communicates directly with each other.
Authentication and Encryption Most Wireless networks use some kind of security settings. These security settings define the authentication (how the device identifies itself to the network) and encryption (how the data is encrypted as it is sent on the network). If you do not correctly specify these options when you are configuring your Brother wireless device, it will not be able to connect to the Wireless network. Therefore care must be taken when configuring these options.
Network Key There are some rules for each security method: ■ Open System/Shared Key with WEP Enter the WEP key that will be used to access your network. This key is a 64-bit or 128-bit value that must be entered in an ASCII or HEXADECIMAL format. 64 (40) bit ASCII: Uses 5 text characters. e.g. "Hello" (this is case sensitive). 64 (40) bit Hexadecimal: Uses 10 digits of hexadecimal data. e.g. "71f2234aba" 128 (104) bit ASCII: Uses 13 text characters. e.g. "Wirelesscomms" (this is case sensitive).
Configuring the Brother Wireless Print Server You can configure and change the wireless print server settings using the Brother Wireless Setup Wizard (recommended), the BRAdmin Professional utility, printer control panel buttons, a web browser or by using TELNET. Using the Control Panel Menus to Configure the Wireless Print Server You can access the NETWORK menu by following steps below to configure the wireless print server.
