Reloading the Print / FAX Server
Firmware

General

The firmware on the Print/Fax 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/
The Print / Fax server supports multiple MFC models so when
inserted into the MFC the version of the NC-9100h hardware is
checked against the firmware of your machine. If the firmware for
your NC-9100h has been superseded with a later version of firmware
for your model a message is displayed on the LCD. "Please update
your firmware".
Some software versions that we provide will automatically
factory reset your Print/Fax server parameters. We try to
avoid doing this. However, if we add a significant new feature
to our Print/Fax server, it can result in the Print/Fax server
being factory reset.
Because of this, we STRONGLY recommend that you make a note
of the current Print/Fax server configuration before you upgrade. To
do this, print out a configuration page (Refer to the User's Guide
Chapter 23 for information on how to print a configuration page).
There are three methods of upgrading the firmware in your Brother
Print/Fax server:
1
Use the BRAdmin Professional utility (Recommended)
2
Use the FTP protocol (Recommended if running on
Macintosh or Unix network)
3
Use another system (such as a Novell or Unix system to send
the new firmware file to the Print/Fax server).
