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 Using Web Based Management (web browser) to change the print server settings on page 13. 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, 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. LPR/LPD 1 Commonly used printing protocols on a TCP/IP network. 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 10.3.9 or greater). 5

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
Using Web Based
Management (web browser) to change the print server settings
on page 13.
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, 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.
LPR/LPD
1
Commonly used printing protocols on a TCP/IP network.
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 10.3.9 or greater).
