1 Introduction Overview The Brother machine can be shared on a 10/100 MB wired Ethernet network using the internal network print server. The print server supports various functions and methods of connection depending on the operating system you are running on a network supporting TCP/IP. These functions include printing, scanning, PC-FAX send, PC-FAX receive, Remote Setup and Status Monitor. The following chart shows what network features and connections are supported by each operating system.
Introduction Network function features Brother machine has the following basic network functions. 1 Network printing The print server provides printing services for Windows® 98/98SE/Me/NT®/2000/XP/Windows Vista® supporting the TCP/IP protocols and Macintosh® supporting TCP/IP (Mac OS® 9.1-9.2 / Mac OS® X 10.2.4 or greater for a wired network).
Introduction Remote Setup (Not available for DCP-8065DN) The Remote Setup software allows you to configure network settings from a Windows® or Macintosh® (Mac OS® X 10.2.4 or greater). (See Chapter 5 for Windows® and Chapter 11 for Macintosh® of the Software User’s Guide on the CD-ROM). Types of Network Connections Generally speaking, there are two types of networks: A Peer-to-Peer network and a shared Network.
Introduction Network Shared Printing 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 Windows R Windows R Windows R TCP/IP Windows R Also known as “Server” or “Print Server” Network printer (your machine) Network Shared ■ In a larger network, we recommend a Network Shared printing environment.
Introduction Protocols TCP/IP Protocols 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) protocols. TCP/IP is the most popular set of protocols and can be used in almost all operating systems such as Windows®, Macintosh® and Linux.
Introduction SMTP client The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) allows the Brother machine to send and receive e-mails. IPP 1 The Internet Printing Protocol (IPP Version 1.0) allows you to print documents via the internet. mDNS mDNS allows the Brother print server to automatically configure itself to work in a Mac OS® X Simple Network Configured system. (Mac OS® X 10.2.4 or greater). TELNET The Brother print server supports TELNET server for command line configuration.
2 Configuring your network printer 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.
Configuring your network printer 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 90. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is 192.0.0.192.
Configuring your network printer Setting the IP address and subnet mask Using the BRAdmin Professional utility and the TCP/IP protocol to configure your network printer (for Windows®) 2 BRAdmin Professional utility The BRAdmin Professional utility is designed to allow you to manage your network connected Brother machines in a TCP/IP environment.
Configuring your network printer Note • If the print server is set to its factory default settings without using a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server, the device will appear as an APIPA device in the BRAdmin Professional utility screen. • You can find the node name and IP address by printing the Network Configuration List. See Printing the Network Configuration List on page 31 for information on how to print the Network Configuration List on your print server. 4 Double-click the unconfigured device.
Configuring your network printer 6 You can now change the print server settings. Using a HTTP (web browser) to change the print/scan settings A standard web browser (we recommend Microsoft Internet Explorer® version 6.0 or later, or Netscape Navigator® version 7.1 or later) can be used to change your print server settings using the HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol). To use a web browser, you must have assigned an IP address to the print server. 1 Type http://printer_ip_address/ into your browser.

A Appendix A Using services 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.
Appendix A 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.
Appendix A 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).
Appendix A UNIX®/Linux systems Typically, UNIX® and Linux systems require the colon ":" character between each digit of the Ethernet address. A arp -s 192.168.1.2 00:80:77:31:01:07 Note 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.
Appendix A Local> SET IP SUBNET 255.255.255.0 If you do not have any subnets, use one of the following default subnet masks: 255.0.0.0 for class A networks A 255.255.0.0 for class B networks 255.255.255.0 for class C 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 1 through 127 for Class A networks (e.g., 13.27.7.1), 128 through 191 for Class B networks (e.g.,128.10.1.30), and 192 through 223 for Class C networks (e.
