This utility can search for Brother products on your network, view the status and configure basic network settings, such as IP address. The BRAdmin Light utility is available for Windows ®...
Page 10: Types Of Network Connection
Each computer must use the TCP/IP Protocol. The Brother printer 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 printer. The Brother printer can also communicate with Macintosh...
Page 11 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 printer needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration unless the printer is connected via the parallel or USB interface at the server.
Page 12: Wireless Network Connection Example (Hl-4070Cdw)
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 printer (your printer) is part of this network, it receives all print jobs via an access point.
Page 13 This type of network has a central access point at the heart of the network. The access point is connected to a computer which is not wireless capable with the Ethenet cable. When the Brother wireless printer (your printer) is a part of this network, it receives all print jobs via an access point.

APIPA, see Using APIPA to configure the IP address on page 161. 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 12.
Page 18: Subnet Mask
Subnet mask Subnet masks restrict network communication. Example: Computer 1 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 Subnet Mask:255.255.255.0 Note 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.
