    Network Shared printing method. See Network Shared printing on page 5. Each computer must use the TCP/IP Protocol. The Brother machine needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration. If you are using a router, the Gateway address must be configured on the computers and the Brother machine.

  • Page 15: Network Shared Printing

    In a larger network, we recommend a Network Shared printing environment. The “Server” or the “Print server” must use the TCP/IP print protocol. The Brother machine needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration unless the machine is connected via the USB interface at the server.

  • Page 16: Wireless Network Connection Examples (For Hl-3070Cw)

    This type of network has a central access point at the heart of the network. The access point can also act as a bridge or a gateway to a wired network. When the Brother wireless machine (your machine) is part of this network, it receives all print jobs via an access point.

  • Page 17: Protocols

    Address Resolution Protocol performs mapping of an IP address to MAC address in a TCP/IP network. DNS client 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.
  • Page 18 Note For the IPPS protocol, see Security protocols on page 94. mDNS 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). Telnet The Brother print server supports Telnet server for command line configuration.

  • Page 19: Other Protocol

    The Web Services also let you check the current status of the machine from your computer. Web server (HTTP) The Brother print server is equipped with a built in web server that allows you to monitor its status or change some of its configuration settings using a web browser.

  • Page 106: Managing Your Network Printer Securely

    Security features Managing your network printer securely To manage your network printer securely, you need to use the management utilities with security protocols. Secure Management using Web Based Management (web browser) We recommend to use HTTPS and SNMPv3 protocol for secure management. To use the HTTPS protocol, the following printer settings are required.
  • Page 107 Security features You can now access the printer using HTTPS. We recommend secure management (SNMPv3) be used along with the HTTPS protocol. If you use the SNMPv3 protocol, follow the steps below. Note You can also change the SNMP settings by using BRAdmin Professional 3 or Web BRAdmin. Click Network Configuration.
  • Page 108 SNMPv1/v2c read-write access In this mode the print server uses version 1 and version 2c of the SNMP protocol. You can use all Brother applications under this mode. However, it is not secure since it will not authenticate the user and the data will not be encrypted.

  • Page 109: Secure Management Using Bradmin Professional 3 (For Windows ® )

    To use the BRAdmin Professional 3 utility securely, you need to follow the points below.

In order to use BOOTP to configure the IP address make sure that BOOTP is installed and running on your host computer (it should appear in the /etc/services file on your host as a real service;...

  • Page 143: Using Rarp To Configure The Ip Address

    For AT&T UNIX-based systems, type: ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep rarpd The Brother print server will get the IP address from the RARP daemon when the printer is powered on. Using APIPA to configure the IP address The Brother print server supports the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol.

  • Page 144: Using Arp To Configure The Ip Address

    If your Administrator has configured the system to deliver IP addresses using BOOTP, DHCP or RARP your Brother print server can receive an IP address from any one of these IP address allocation systems. In which case, you will not need to use the ARP command. The ARP command only works once. For security reasons, once you have successfully configured the IP address of a Brother print server using the ARP command, you cannot use the ARP command again to change the address.

  • Page 145: Using The Telnet Console To Configure The Ip Address

    Appendix Using the TELNET console to configure the IP address You can also use the TELNET command to change the IP address. TELNET is an effective method to change the machine’s IP address. But a valid IP address must already be programmed into the print server.
