Overview

The Brother machine can be shared on a 10/100 Mb wired or IEEE 802.11b/802.11g wireless Ethernet network using the internal network print server. The print server supports various functions and methods of connection depending on the operating system you are running on a network supporting TCP/IP. These functions include printing, scanning, PC-FAX send, PC-FAX receive, PhotoCaptureTM Center, Remote Setup and Status Monitor. The following chart shows what network features and connections are supported by each operating system.

Windows 98/98SE/Me/ 2000/XP Mac OS X 10.2.4 or greater Mac OS 9.1-9.2
To use the Brother machine through a network, you need to configure the print server, and set up the computers you use. For Wireless Users: To achieve optimum results with normal every day document printing, place the Brother machine as close to the network access point (router) as possible with minimal obstructions. Large objects and walls between the two devices as well as interference from other electronic devices can affect the data transfer speed of your documents. Due to these factors, wireless may not be the best method of connection for all types of documents and applications. If you are printing large files, such as photos on glossy paper or multi-page documents with mixed text and large graphics, you may want to consider choosing wired Ethernet for a faster data transfer, or USB for the fastest throughput speed.

Network function features
The Brother DCP-340CW, MFC-640CW and MFC-820CW have the following basic network functions.

Network printing

The print server provides printing services for Windows 98/98SE/Me/2000/XP supporting the TCP/IP protocols and Macintosh supporting TCP/IP (Mac OS 9.1-9.2 / Mac OS X 10.2.4 or greater for a wired network and Mac OS X 10.2.4 or greater for wireless network).

Network scanning

You can scan documents over the network to your computer (See Chapter 4 for Windows and Chapter 11 for Macintosh of the Software Users Guide on the CD-ROM).
Network PC-FAX (not available for DCP-340CW)
You can directly send a PC file as a PC-FAX on your network (See Chapter 6 for Windows and Chapter 8 for Macintosh of the Software Users Guide on the CD-ROM for complete description). Windows users can also PC-FAX receive (See Chapter 6 of the Software Users Guide).
Network PhotoCapture CenterTM
You can view, retrieve and save data from a media card inserted into the Brother machine. For Windows, double click the Network PhotoCapture CenterTM icon on the desktop of your PC. The software is automatically installed when you select network connection during the software installation. For Macintosh, launch any web browser in which FTP is available and enter FTP://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of your Brother machine).

Management utilities

BRAdmin Professional (for Windows)
The BRAdmin Professional utility provides powerful, easy to use configuration and management of fax and network settings.
BRAdmin Light (for Mac OS X 10.2.4 or greater)
BRAdmin Light is a utility for viewing machine status and configuring network settings from a computer running Mac OS X 10.2.4 or greater. This utility is available as a download from http://solutions.brother.com.
Remote Setup for Windows / Remote Setup for Macintosh
The Remote Setup software allows you to configure network settings from a Windows or Macintosh.

Where the first entry is the Ethernet address of the print server and the second entry is the name of the print server (the name must be the same as the one you put in the /etc/hosts file). If the rarp daemon is not already running, start it (depending on the system the command can be rarpd, rarpd -a, in.rarpd -a or something else; type man rarpd or refer to your system documentation for additional information). To verify that the rarp daemon is running on a Berkeley UNIX based system, type the following command: ps -ax | grep -v grep | grep rarpd 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 it is powered on.
BOOTP mode BOOTP is an alternative to rarp that has the advantage of allowing configuration of the subnet mask and gateway. 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; type man bootpd or refer to your system documentation for information). BOOTP is usually started up via the /etc/inetd.conf file, so you may need to enable it by removing the # in front of the bootp entry in that file. For example, a typical bootp entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file would be: #bootp dgram udp wait /usr/etc/bootpd bootpd -i
Note Depending on the system, this entry might be called bootps instead of bootp.
In order to enable BOOTP, simply use an editor to delete the # (if there is no #, then BOOTP is already enabled). Then edit the BOOTP configuration file (usually /etc/bootptab) and enter the name, network type (1 for Ethernet), Ethernet address and the IP address, subnet mask and gateway of the print server. Unfortunately, the exact format for doing this is not standardized, so you will need to refer to your system documentation to determine how to enter this information (many UNIX systems also have template examples in the bootptab file that you can use for reference). Some examples of typical /etc/bootptab entries include: (BRN below is BRW for a wireless network.)

BRN_and:

00:80:77:31:01:07 192.189.207.3
BRN_310107:ht=ethernet:ha=008077310107:\ ip=192.189.207.3: Certain BOOTP host software implementations will not respond to BOOTP requests if you have not included a download filename in the configuration file; if this is the case, simply create a null file on the host and specify the name of this file and its path in the configuration file. As with rarp, the print server will load its IP address from the BOOTP server when the printer is powered on.
DHCP mode Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP address allocation. If you have a DHCP server in your network (typically a UNIX, Windows 2000/XP network) the print server will automatically obtain its IP address from a DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002 compliant dynamic name services.

Adding a second Brother LPR port
You do not re-run the install program to add a new Brother LPR port. Instead, go to the Start button, select Settings, and open the Printers window. Click the icon of the printer that you wish to configure, select File from the menu bar, and then Properties. Click the Details tab and then the Add Port button. In the Add Port dialog, select the Other radio button and then highlight Brother LPR port. Click OK and enter the port name. The default port name is BLP1. If you have already used this name, you will get an error message if you try to use it again, in which case use BLP2, etc. Once you have specified the port name, click OK. You will then see the Port Properties dialog. Enter the IP address of the printer that you wish to print to and click OK. You should now see the port that you have just created in the Print to the following port setting of the printer driver.
Other sources of information
See Chapter 2 of this Users Guide to learn how to configure the IP address of the printer.
This chapter explains how to print from Macintosh on a Network using the Simple Network Configuration capabilities on Mac OS X 10.2.4 or greater. For more information on how to configure the Brother ink driver on a Network for Mac OS 9.1 to 9.2, see the Quick Setup Guide included with the machine. For updated information on printing from a Macintosh, visit the Brother Solutions Center at: http://solutions.brother.com.
Printing from a Macintosh using the Simple Network Configuration capabilities of Mac OS X
With the release of Mac OS X 10.2, Apple introduced Simple Network Configuration capabilities. The Simple Network Configuration capabilities of Mac OS X lets you create an instant network of computers and smart devices by connecting them to each other. The smart devices automatically configure themselves to be compatible with your network. You do not need to manually configure any IP address or network strings within the printer as the printer will automatically configure itself. Please note that you need to use Mac OS X 10.2.4 or later version.
How to select the print driver (Mac OS X 10.2.4 or greater)

To communicate with the configured wireless device, you must configure your Macintosh to use same wireless settings. Manually change the wireless settings on your Macintosh to match the machines wireless settings shown on this screen. Click Next. (The settings shown on this screen are for example only. Your settings will not be the same.)
The driver installation starts. Follow the on-screen instructions and restart your Macintosh. (Not available if you chose Driver Install Only in step 7.) When the Brother DeviceSelector window appears, choose Network and then click OK. The Brother DeviceSelector windows will not appear if you have also connected a USB interface cable to the machine before restarting your Macintosh or if you are overwriting a previously installed version of the Brother Software. If you encounter this problem, continue but skip step 22 through 24. After the software installation is completed, you should choose your Brother machine from the Model pop-up menu in the main screen of ControlCenter2. For details, see Chapter 10 in the Software Users Guide on the CD-ROM. If you want to use the machines Scan key to scan over the network, you must check the Register your computer with the Scan To functions at the machine box. You must also enter a name for your Macintosh in Display Name. The name you enter will appear on the machines LCD when you press the Scan key and choose a scan option. You can enter any name up to 15 characters long. (For more information on network scanning, see Chapter 11 of the Software Users Guide on the CD-ROM.)
