Introduction Protocols TCP/IP protocols and functions 1 1 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®, Windows Server®, Mac OS X and Linux®. The following TCP/IP protocols are available on this Brother product. Note • You can configure the protocol settings by using the HTTP interface (web browser). See How to configure the print server settings using Web Based Management (web browser) on page 68. • For information about the security protocols, see Security protocols on page 83. 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 applications) 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.

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
®
, Windows Server
®
, Mac OS X and Linux
®
.
The following TCP/IP protocols are available on this Brother product.
Note
You can configure the protocol settings by using the HTTP interface (web browser).
See
How to configure the print server settings using Web Based Management (web browser)
on
page 68.
For information about the security protocols, see
Security protocols
on page 83.
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
applications) 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
1
Address Resolution Protocol performs mapping of an IP address to MAC address in a TCP/IP network.
DNS client
1
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.
NetBIOS name resolution
1
Network Basic Input/Output System name resolution enables you to obtain the IP address of the other device
using its NetBIOS name during the network connection.
