Overview  
3
To connect your machine to your wireless network, you need to follow the steps in the Quick Setup Guide.  
®
Configuration using the CD-ROM installer and a USB cable is a recommended way for Windows users. By  
using this method, you can easily connect your machine to your wireless network. Macintosh users should  
3
choose their preferred configuration method from the choices covered in the Quick Setup Guide.  
For additional wireless configuration methods 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  
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.

For the MFC-J825DW/J835DW/J5910DW and DCP-J925DW, if you connect the machine with an Ethernet  
cable to your network, use the Wired LANmenu selections. If you connect the machine to a wireless  
Ethernet network, use the WLANmenu selections.  
BOOT Method  
4
This selection controls how the machine obtains an IP address.  
Auto mode  
4
In this mode the machine will scan the network for a DHCP server. If it can find one, and if the DHCP server  
is configured to allocate an IP address to the machine, then the IP address supplied by the DHCP server will  
be used. If no DHCP server is available, then the machine will scan for a BOOTP server. If a BOOTP server  
is available, and it is configured correctly, the machine will take its IP address from the BOOTP server. If a  
BOOTP server is not available, the machine will scan for a RARP server. If a RARP server also does not  
answer, the IP Address is set using the APIPA protocol. After the machine is initially powered ON, it may take  
a few minutes for the machine to scan the network for a server.  
Static mode  
4
In this mode the machine’s IP address must be manually assigned. Once entered the IP address is locked to  
the assigned address.  
Note  
If you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the  
BOOT Methodto Staticso that the print server has a static IP address. This will prevent the print server  
from trying to obtain an IP address from any of these systems. To change the BOOT Method, use the  
machine’s control panel, BRAdmin Light utility, Web Based Management (MFC-J5910DW only) or  
Remote Setup.

IP Address  
4
This field displays the current IP address of the machine. If you have chosen a BOOT Methodof Static,  
enter the IP address that you wish to assign to the machine (check with your network administrator for a  
suitable IP address to use). If you have chosen a method other than Static, the machine will attempt to  
determine its IP address using the DHCP or BOOTP protocols. The default IP address of your machine will  
probably be incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme of your network. We recommend that you  
contact your network administrator for a suitable IP address for the network the unit will be connected on.  
Subnet Mask

4
4
This field displays the current subnet mask used by the machine. If you are not using DHCP or BOOTP to  
obtain the subnet mask, enter the desired subnet mask. Check with your network administrator for the subnet  
mask to use.  
Gateway  
This field displays the current gateway or router address used by the machine. If you are not using DHCP or  
BOOTP to obtain the gateway or router address, enter the address you wish to assign. If you do not have a  
gateway or router, leave this field blank. Check with your network administrator if you are unsure.  
Node Name  
You can register the machine name on the Network. This name is often referred to as a NetBIOS name; it will  
be the name that is registered by the WINS server on your network. Brother recommends the name  
BRNxxxxxxxxxxxx for a wired network or BRWxxxxxxxxxxxx for a wireless network (where xxxxxxxxxxxx is  
your machine’s Ethernet address) (up to 15 characters).  
WINS Config

This selection controls how the machine obtains the IP address of the WINS server.  
Auto

This field specifies the IP address of the secondary WINS server. It is used as a backup to the Primary WINS  
server address. If the Primary server is unavailable, the machine can still register itself with a secondary  
®
server. If set to a non-zero value, the machine will contact this server to register its name with the Windows  
Internet Name Service. If you have a primary WINS server, but no secondary WINS server, simply leave this  
field blank.

Primary DNS Server IP Address  
4
This field specifies the IP address of the primary DNS (Domain Name System) server.  
Secondary DNS Server IP Address  
4
This field specifies the IP address of the secondary DNS server. It is used as a backup to the Primary DNS  
server address. If the Primary server is unavailable, the machine will contact the Secondary DNS server.  
APIPA  
4
The setting of Onwill cause the print server to automatically allocate a Link-Local IP address in the range  
(169.254.1.0 - 169.254.254.255) when the print server cannot obtain an IP address through the  
BOOT Methodyou have set (see BOOT Method uu page 34). Choosing Offmeans the IP address doesn’t  
change, when the print server cannot obtain an IP address through the BOOT Methodyou have set.  
IPv6 (MFC-J5910DW only)  
4
This machine is compatible with IPv6, the next generation Internet protocol. If you want to use the IPv6  
protocol, choose On. The default setting for IPv6 is Off. For more information on the IPv6 protocol, visit  
Note  
• If you set IPv6 to On, use the On/Off button to turn the machine off and back on to enable this protocol.  
• After you choose IPv6 On, this setting will be applied to both the wired and wireless LAN interface.

Internet fax Overview  
6
Internet faxing (IFAX) allows you to send and receive fax documents using the Internet as the transport  
mechanism. Documents are transmitted in E-mail messages as attached TIFF-F files. This means that  
computers are also able to receive and send documents, providing that the computer has as an application  
that can generate and view TIFF-F files, you can use any TIFF-F viewer application. Any documents sent via  
the machine will automatically be converted into a TIFF-F format. If you wish to send and receive messages  
to and from your machine, your mail application on the computer must be able to support the MIME format.

Important information on Internet fax  
6
Internet fax communication on a LAN system is basically the same as communication via E-mail; however, it  
is different from fax communication using standard phone lines. The following is important information for  
using Internet fax:  
Factors such as the receiver’s location, structure of the LAN system, and how busy the network (such as  
the Internet) is, may cause the system to take a long time to send back an error mail (normally 20 sec. to  
30 sec.).  
In the case of transmission through the Internet, due to its low level of security, we recommend that you  
use standard phone lines to send confidential documents.  
If the receiver’s mail system is not compatible with the MIME format, you cannot transmit a document to  
the receiver. Depending on the receiver’s server, there may be some cases in which the error mail will not  
be sent back.  
If the size of a document’s image data is too large, there is a possibility of unsuccessful transmission.  
You cannot change the font or character size of Internet mail that you receive.

Note  
Some E-mail servers do not allow you to send large E-mail documents (the System Administrator will often  
place a limit on the maximum E-mail size). With this function enabled, the machine will display  
Out of Memorywhen trying to send E-mail documents over 1 Mbyte in size. The document will not be  
sent and an error report will be printed. The document you are sending should be separated into smaller  
documents that will be accepted by the mail server. (For your information, a 42 page document based on  
the ITU-T Test Chart #1 test chart is approximately 1 Mbyte in size.)  
Receiving E-mail or Internet fax  
6
Before receiving an Internet fax  
6
To receive the Internet fax, you can configure following items from the control panel, Web Based  
Management or Remote Setup:  
6
Auto Polling (if needed)  
Poll Frequency (if needed)  
Header (if needed)  
Delete Error Mail (if needed)

How to receive an Internet fax  
6
There are 2 ways you can receive E-mail messages:  
POP3 receiving at regular intervals  
POP3 receiving (manually initiated)  
Using POP3 receiving the machine must poll the E-mail server to receive the data. This polling can occur at  
set intervals (for example, you can configure the machine to poll the E-mail server at 10 minute intervals) or  
you can manually poll the server by pressing the SCAN + Color Start/Colour Start keys.  
If your machine starts to receive E-mail data, the LCD panel will reflect this activity. For example, you will see  
Receivingon the LCD panel followed by xx E-mail(s). If you press the SCAN +  
Color Start/Colour Start keys to manually poll the E-mail server for E-mail data and there are no mail  
documents waiting to be printed, the machine will display No Mailon the LCD panel for two seconds.  
Note  
• If your machine is out of paper when receiving data, the received data will be held in the machine’s  
memory. This data will be printed automatically after paper is re-inserted into the machine.  
• If the received mail is not in a plain text format or an attached file is not in the TIFF-F format, the following  
error message will be printed: “ATTACHED FILE FORMAT NOT SUPPORTED”. If the received mail is  
too large, the following error message will be printed: “E-MAIL FILE TOO LARGE”. If Delete POP Receive  
Error Mail is ON (default) then the error mail is automatically deleted from the E-mail server.

MDN (Message Disposition Notification):  
This field requests the status of the Internet Fax/E-mail message after delivery through the SMTP (Simple  
Mail Transfer Protocol) transport system. Once the message has arrived at the receiver this data is used  
when the machine or user reads or prints the received Internet Fax or E-mail. For example, if the message is  
opened for reading or is printed the receiver sends back a notification to the original sending machine or user.  
The receiver must support the MDN field in order to be able to send a notification report, otherwise the request  
will be ignored.

When switched to “On” a fixed message is sent back to the sender to indicate successful reception and  
processing of the message. These fixed messages depend on the operation requested by the sender.  
Report messages consist of:  
SUCCESS: Received From<Mail Address>  
Receive Notification MDN”  
When switched to “MDN” a report as described above is sent back to the sender if the originating station sent  
the “MDN” field to request confirmation.

Security features (MFC-J5910DW only)  
Sending an E-mail with user authentication  
7
This machine supports POP before SMTP and SMTP-AUTH methods to send an E-mail via an E-mail server  
that requires a user authentication. These methods prevent an unauthorized user from accessing the E-mail  
server. You can use Web Based Management and BRAdmin Professional 3 to configure these settings. You  
can use POP before SMTP and SMTP-AUTH methods for E-mail Notification, E-mail reports and Internet fax  
sending.  
E-mail server settings  
You need to match the settings of SMTP authentication method with the method used by your E-mail server.  
Set the machine's SMTP Server Authentication Method setting to POP before SMTP or SMTP-AUTH  
according to the authentication method used by your E-mail server.  
Contact your network administrator or your ISP (Internet Service Provider) about the E-mail server  
configuration.  
SMTP settings  
You can change the SMTP port number using Web Based Management. This is useful if your ISP (Internet  
7
Service Provider) implements the “Outbound Port 25 Blocking (OP25B)” service.  
If you can use both POP before SMTP and SMTP-AUTH, we recommend choosing SMTP-AUTH.  
If you choose POP before SMTP for the SMTP Server Authentication Method, you need to configure the  
POP3 settings. You can also use the APOP method if needed.
