Introduction Protocols 1 1 TCP/IP protocols and functions 1 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 this Brother product supports the TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) protocols. 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®, Macintosh® and Linux. The following TCP/IP protocols are available on this Brother product. Note • You can configure the protocol settings by using the HTTP (web browser). See Using Web Based Management (web browser) to change the print/scan settings on page 14. • For the protocols of security features, see Security protocols on page 45. DHCP/BOOTP/RARP 1 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 1 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. DNS client 1 The Brother print server supports the Domain Name Service (DNS) client function. This function allows the print server to communicate with other devices by using its DNS name. LPR/LPD 1 Commonly used printing protocols on a TCP/IP network. SMTP client 1 Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) client is used to send E-mails via Internet or Intranet. Port9100 1 Another commonly used printing protocol on a TCP/IP network. 6

Introduction

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 this Brother product supports the TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet

Protocol) protocols.

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

, Macintosh

and Linux.

The following TCP/IP protocols are available on this Brother product.

Note

•

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

Using Web Based

Management (web browser) to change the print/scan settings

on page 14.

•

For the protocols of security features, see

Security protocols

on page 45.

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.

DNS client

The Brother print server supports the Domain Name Service (DNS) client function. This function allows the

print server to communicate with other devices by using its DNS name.

LPR/LPD

Commonly used printing protocols on a TCP/IP network.

SMTP client

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) client is used to send E-mails via Internet or Intranet.

Port9100

Another commonly used printing protocol on a TCP/IP network.
