Types of network connections and protocols Protocols 8 TCP/IP protocols and functions 8 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) uu page 46.) • To find what protocols your Brother machine supports, see Supported protocols and security features uu page 107. • For information about supported security protocols, see Security protocols uu page 104. 8 DHCP/BOOTP/RARP 8 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 8 If you do not assign an IP address manually (using the control panel (for LCD models) 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 8 Address Resolution Protocol performs mapping of an IP address to a MAC address in a TCP/IP network. 88
