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. However, if we add a significant new feature to our
print server, it can result in the print server being factory
reset.
Because of this, we STRONGLY recommend that you make a note
of the current print server configuration before you upgrade. To do
this, print out a configuration page (see How to Print a Network
Configuration Page on page A-8 for information on how to print a
configuration page).
There are three methods of upgrading the firmware in your Brother
print server:
1
Use the BRAdmin application (Recommended)
2
Use the FTP protocol (Recommended if running on
Macintosh
3
Use another system (such as a Novell
send the new firmware file to the print server).
