Page 7: Protocols
Types of network connections and protocols Protocols TCP/IP protocols and functions 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 the Brother machine supports the TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) protocol. - Page 8 Types of network connections and protocols WINS ® Windows Internet Name Service is an information providing service for the NetBIOS name resolution by consolidating an IP address and a NetBIOS name that is in the local network. LPR/LPD Commonly used printing protocols on a TCP/IP network. Custom Raw Port (Default is Port 9100) Another commonly used printing protocol on a TCP/IP network.

Page 9: Configuring Your Machine For A Network
Configuring your machine for a network IP addresses, subnet masks and gateways To use the machine in a networked TCP/IP environment, you need to configure its IP address and subnet mask. The IP address you assign to the print server must be on the same logical network as your host computers. -
Page 10: Subnet Mask
Configuring your machine for a network 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: 255.255.255.000 • Computer 2 IP Address: 192.168. 1. 3 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.000 Where the 0 is in the Subnet mask, there is no limit to communication at this part of the address. -

Wireless network terms and concepts Specifying your network SSID (Service Set Identifier) and channels You need to configure the SSID and a channel to specify the wireless network you want to connect to. SSID Each wireless network has its own unique network name and it is technically referred to as an SSID or ESSID (Extended Service Set Identifier). -
Page 12: Security Terms
Wireless network terms and concepts Security terms Authentication and encryption Most wireless networks use some kind of security settings. These security settings define the authentication (how the device identifies itself to the network) and encryption (how the data is encrypted as it is sent on the network). -

Page 17: 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 18: Other Ways To Set The Ip Address (For Advanced Users And Administrators)
Appendix A Other ways to set the IP address (for advanced users and administrators) Using DHCP to configure the IP address The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP address allocation. If you have a DHCP server on your network, the print server will automatically obtain its IP address from the DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services. -
Page 19: Using Bootp To Configure The Ip Address
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;... -
Page 20: Using Arp To Configure The Ip Address
Appendix A Using ARP to configure the IP address If you are unable to use the BRAdmin application and your network does not use a DHCP server, you can ® also use the ARP command.
