Remote Setup
(Not available for DCP-8065DN)
The Remote Setup software allows you to configure network settings from a Windows
®
or Macintosh
®
(Mac
OS
®
X 10.2.4 or greater). (See Chapter 5 for Windows
®
and Chapter 11 for Macintosh
®
of the Software User’s
Guide on the CD-ROM).
Types of Network Connections
Generally speaking, there are two types of networks: A Peer-to-Peer network and a shared Network.
Network Connection Example
Peer-to-Peer printing using TCP/IP
In a Peer-to-Peer environment, each computer directly sends and receives data to each device. There is no
central server controlling File access or Printer sharing.
■
In a smaller network of 2 or 3 computers, we recommend the Peer-to-Peer printing method as it is easier
to configure than the Network Shared Printing method described on the following page. See
Network
Shared Printing
on page 4.
■
Each computer must use the TCP/IP Protocol.
■
The Brother machine needs an appropriate IP address configuration.
■
If you are using a router, the Gateway address must be configured on the computers and the Brother
machine.
