TCP/IP Protocols
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 and 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 MFL-Pro Suite Installation or 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 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
Commonly used printing protocol on a TCP/IP network.
Port 9100
Another commonly used printing protocol on a TCP/IP network.
