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.

TCP/IP is the most popular set of protocols used for communication such as Internet and E-mail. This protocol

can be used in almost all operating systems such as Windows

, Windows Server

, Mac OS X and Linux

The following TCP/IP protocols are available on the Brother machine.

Note

•

You can configure the protocol settings by using the HTTP interface (web browser). (See

How to configure

the machine settings using Web Based Management (web browser)

page 92.)

•

To find what protocols your Brother machine supports, see

Supported protocols and security features

page 173.

•

For information about supported security protocols, see

Security protocols

page 170.

DHCP/BOOTP/RARP

By using the DHCP/BOOTP/RARP protocols, the IP address can be automatically configured.

Note

To use the DHCP/BOOTP/RARP protocols, please contact your network administrator.

APIPA

If you do not assign an IP address manually (using the control panel of the machine or the BRAdmin software)

or automatically (using a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server), the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA)

protocol will automatically assign an IP address from the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255.

ARP

Address Resolution Protocol performs mapping of an IP address to a MAC address in a TCP/IP network.
