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®, Mac OS® X and Linux®. The following TCP/IP protocols are available on this Brother product. 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 System (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 (For MFC-6490CW and MFC-6890CDW) 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. mDNS 1 mDNS allows the Brother print server to automatically configure itself to work in a Mac OS® X Simple Network Configured system. (Mac OS® X 10.2.4 or greater) 7
