Protocols

TCP/IP protocols and functionalities

Protocols are the standardized sets of rules for transmitting data on a network. Protocols allow the users to

gain access to network-connected resources.

The print/scan 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.

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 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/scan server supports the Domain Name Service (DNS) client function. This function allows

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

LPR/LPD

One of the standard printing protocols in a TCP/IP network.

Port9100

HP network printer compatible port.
