Internet fax/scan to E-mail server (MFC-8880DN and MFC-8890DW only) The Brother machine can be assigned an E-mail address allowing you to send, receive or forward documents over a Local Area Network or the Internet to PC’s or other Internet fax machines. Before using this function, you have to configure the necessary machine settings by using the machine’s control panel.
Page 15: Types Of Network Connections
Each computer must use the TCP/IP Protocol. The Brother machine 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 machine. The Brother machine can also communicate with Macintosh (TCP/IP compatible operating systems).
Page 16: Network Shared Printing
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 machine needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration unless the machine is connected via the USB or the parallel interface at the server.
Page 17: Wireless Network Connection Examples (For Mfc-8890Dw Only)
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 machine (your machine) is part of this network, it receives all print jobs via an access point.
Page 18: Protocols
Address Resolution Protocol performs mapping of an IP address to MAC address in a TCP/IP network. DNS client The Brother print server supports the Domain Name System (DNS) client function. This function allows the print server to communicate with other devices by using its DNS name.
Page 19 Note For the IPPS protocol, see Security protocols on page 165. 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 10.3.9 or greater). TELNET The Brother print server supports TELNET server for command line configuration.
Page 20 The Web Services also lets you check the current status of the machine from your computer. Web server (HTTP) The Brother print server is equipped with a built in web server that allows you to monitor its status or change some of its configuration settings using a web browser.
Page 21: Other Protocol
Other protocol LLTD The Link Layer Topology Discovery protocol (LLTD) lets you locate the Brother machine easily on the ® Windows Vista network map. Your Brother machine will be shown with a distinctive icon and the node name. The default setting for this protocol is Off. You can activate LLTD using the BRAdmin Professional 3 utility software.

Page 23: Subnet Mask
How the IP address is assigned to your print server: If you have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server in your network (typically a UNIX ® Windows Vista or Windows Server address from the DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.
Page 24: Gateway (And Router)
Gateway (and router) 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. If a destination is located on an external network, the router transmits data to the external network.

Overview This chapter explains how to resolve typical network problems you may encounter when using the machine. If, after reading this chapter, you are unable to resolve your problem, please visit the Brother Solutions Center at: http://solutions.brother.com/ This chapter is divided into the following sections:...
Page 202: Network Print Software Installation Problems
Macintosh Choose your machine again in the DeviceSelector application located in Mac OS X or Macintosh HD (Startup Disk) / Library / Printers / Brother / Utilities / DeviceSelector or from the model pop-up menu of ControlCenter2. Network print software installation problems...
Page 203 Check the connection status for your network. For wired network users: Check to see if there is any LED activity. Brother print servers have two LEDs on the back panel of the machine. The upper orange LED shows Speed status. The lower green LED shows Link/Activity (Received/Transmit) status.
Page 204: Printing Problems
Verify that the print server is on your network as follows: ® Windows Try pinging the print server from the host operating system command prompt with the command: Click Start, All Programs ® Programs for Windows 2000 users 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 load its IP address after setting the IP address).
Page 205 Verify that the print server is on your network as follows: ® Windows 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 load its IP address after setting the IP address).
Page 206: Scanning And Pc Fax Problems
To add port 137 for network scanning, network printing and network PC Fax receiving, enter the information below: 1. In Description of service: Enter any description, for example, “Brother PC Fax receiving”. 2. In Name or IP address (for example 192.168.0.12) or the computer hosting this service on your network: Enter “Localhost”.
Page 207 Make sure if the new setting is added and is checked, and then click OK. Note After the Brother software package is installed, turn your Firewall back on. ® Windows Vista users: Click the button, Control Panel, Network and Internet, Windows Firewall and click Change settings.
Page 208: Wireless Network Troubleshooting (Mfc-8890Dw Only)
The Brother print server is not found during setup by the Wireless Device Setup Wizard. Make sure that the machine is powered on, is on-line and ready to print. Move your Brother machine closer to your access point/router (or your computer for Ad-hoc) and try again.
Page 209: Wireless Connection Problem
Wireless connection problem The wireless network connection is sometimes disabled. The wireless network connection status is affected by the environment where the Brother printer and other wireless devices are located. The following conditions may cause connection problems: A concrete or metal framed wall is installed between the Brother machine and the access point/router.
Page 210: Protocol-Specific Troubleshooting
This will then force Windows 2000/XP, Windows Vista communicate with the Brother print server. Web Based Management (web browser) troubleshooting (TCP/IP) If you cannot connect to the print server using your web browser it may be worth checking the Proxy Settings of your browser.
Page 211: A Appendix 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.
Page 212: Using Bootp To Configure The Ip Address
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;...
Page 213: Using Rarp To Configure The Ip Address
For AT&T UNIX-based systems, type: ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep rarpd The Brother print server will get the IP address from the RARP daemon when the printer is powered on. Using APIPA to configure the IP address The Brother print server supports the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol.
Page 214: Using Arp To Configure 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. In which case, you will not need to use the ARP command. The ARP command only works once. For security reasons, once you have successfully configured the IP address of a Brother print server using the ARP command, you cannot use the ARP command again to change the address.
Page 215: Using The Telnet Console To Configure The Ip Address
Appendix A Using the TELNET console to configure the IP address You can also use the TELNET command to change the IP address. TELNET is an effective method to change the machine’s IP address. But a valid IP address must already be programmed into the print server.
