Protocols 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
®
and Linux.
The following TCP/IP protocols are available on this Brother product.
You can configure the protocol settings by using HTTP (web browser). See Using Web Based
Management (web browser) to change the print server settings on page 12.
DHCP/BOOTP/RARP 1
By using the DHCP/BOOTP/RARP protocols, the IP address can be automatically configured.
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 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254.
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.
Telnet 1
