Introduction Protocols 1 1 TCP/IP protocols and functionalities 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) 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®, 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 Configuring the protocol settings on page 126. • For the protocols of the security features, see Security protocols on page 125. 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 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. NetBIOS/IP 1 NetBIOS over IP basic functionality allows the Brother print server to appear in a Windows® network neighborhood. LPR/LPD 1 Commonly used printing protocols on a TCP/IP network. Port9100 1 Another commonly used printing protocol on a TCP/IP network. 7
