Network features 1
Your Brother machine can be shared on a 10/100 MB wired or IEEE 802.11b/g/n 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. The following chart
shows what network features and connections are supported by each operating system.
Note
Although the Brother machine can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one connection
method can be used at a time.

Note
You can download the latest Brother BRAdmin Light utility version from http://solutions.brother.com/.
If you require more advanced printer management, use the latest Brother BRAdmin Professional 3 utility
that is available as a download from http://solutions.brother.com/
. This utility is only available for
Windows
®
users.
If you are using a firewall function of anti-spyware or antivirus applications, temporarily disable them. Once
you are sure that you can print, re-enable the application.
Node Name: The Node Name appears in the current BRAdmin Light window. The default Node Name of
the print server in the machine is “BRNxxxxxxxxxxxx” or “BRWxxxxxxxxxxxx”. (“xxxxxxxxxxxx” is your
machine’s MAC Address / Ethernet Address.)
The default password for Brother print servers is “access”.

Other Management Utilities 2
Your Brother machine has the following management utilities other than the BRAdmin Light utility. You can
change your network settings using these utilities.
Web Based Management (web browser) 2
A standard web browser can be used to change your print server settings using the HTTP (Hyper Text
Transfer Protocol). (See How to configure the machine settings using Web Based Management (web
browser) on page 43.)
BRAdmin Professional 3 utility (Windows
®
) 2
BRAdmin Professional 3 is a utility for more advanced management of network connected Brother devices.
This utility can search for Brother products on your network and view the device status from an easy to read
Explorer style window that changes color identifying the status of each device. You can configure network
and device settings along with the ability to update device firmware from a Windows
®
computer on your LAN.
BRAdmin Professional 3 can also log activity of Brother devices on your network and export the log data in
an HTML, CSV, TXT or SQL format.
For more information and downloading, visit us at http://solutions.brother.com/
.
Note
Please use the latest version of the BRAdmin Professional 3 utility that is available as a download from
http://solutions.brother.com/
. This utility is only available for Windows
®
users.
If you are using a firewall function of anti-spyware or antivirus applications, temporarily disable them. Once
you are sure that you can print, re-enable the application.
Node name: The node name appears in the current BRAdmin Professional 3 window. The default Node
name is “BRNxxxxxxxxxxxx” or “BRWxxxxxxxxxxxx”. (“xxxxxxxxxxxx” is your MAC Address / Ethernet
Address.)
Web BRAdmin (Windows
®
) 2
Web BRAdmin is a utility for managing network connected Brother devices on your LAN and WAN. This utility
can search for Brother products on your network, view its status and configure the network settings. Unlike
BRAdmin Professional 3, which is designed for Windows
®
only, Web BRAdmin is a server based utility that
can be accessed from any client PC with a web browser that supports JRE (Java Runtime Environment). By
installing the Web BRAdmin server utility on a PC running IIS
1
, connect to the Web BRAdmin server, which
then communicates with the device itself.

Overview 3
To connect your machine to your wireless network, we recommend you to follow the steps in the Quick Setup
Guide using or WPS or AOSS™ from the control panel menu. By using this method, you can easily connect
your machine to your wireless network.
Please read this chapter for more details on how to configure the wireless network settings. For information
on TCP/IP settings, see How to change your machine’s network settings (IP address, Subnet mask and
Gateway) on page 4.
Note
To achieve optimum results with normal every day document printing, place the Brother machine as close
to the WLAN 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 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.
Although the Brother machine can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one connection
method can be used at a time.
Before configuring wireless settings, you will need to know your SSID and Network Key.
