1 Router
2 Network printer (your machine)
In a smaller network of 2 or 3 computers, we recommend the Peer-to-Peer printing method as it is easier
to configure than the Network Shared printing method described on the following page. See Network
Each computer must use the TCP/IP Protocol.
The Brother machine needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration.
If you are using routers, the Gateway address must be configured on the computers and the Brother
machine.
The Brother machine can also communicate with Macintosh (TCP/IP compatible operating systems).
5
Introduction
Network Shared printing
1
In a Network Shared environment, each computer sends data via a centrally controlled computer. This type
of computer is often called a “Server” or a “Print Server”. Its job is to control the printing of all print jobs.
1
1 Client computer
2 Also known as “Server” or “Print server”
3 TCP/IP or USB (where available)
4 Printer (your machine)
In a larger network, we recommend a Network Shared printing environment.
The “server” or the “print server” must use the TCP/IP print protocol.
The Brother machine needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration unless the machine is
connected via the USB interface at the server.

Overview
2
2
Before using your Brother machine in a network environment, you must install the Brother software and also
configure the appropriate TCP/IP network settings on the machine itself. In this chapter, you will learn the
basic steps required to print over the network using TCP/IP protocol.
We recommend that you use the Brother installer on the Brother CD-ROM to install the Brother software as
this will guide you through the software and network installation. Please follow the instructions in the supplied
Quick Setup Guide.
Note
If you do not wish to, or are unable to use the Brother installer or any of Brother’s software tools, you can
also use the machine’s control panel to change network settings.
IP addresses, subnet masks and gateways
2
To use the machine in a networked TCP/IP environment, you need to configure the IP address and subnet
mask. The IP address you assign to the print server must be on the same logical network as your host
computers. If it is not, you must properly configure the subnet mask and the gateway address.
IP address
2
An IP address is a series of numbers that identifies each computer connected to a network. An IP address
consists of four numbers separated by dots. Each number is between 0 and 255.
Example: In a small network, you would normally change the final number.
• 192.168.1.1
• 192.168.1.2
• 192.168.1.3
12
Configuring your machine for a network
How the IP address is assigned to your print server:
2
If you have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server in your network (typically a UNIX®/Linux or Windows® XP,
Windows Vista®, Windows® 7 or Windows Server® 2003/2008 network) the print server will automatically
obtain its IP address from the DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant
dynamic name services.
2
Note
On smaller networks, the DHCP server may also be the router.
For more information on DHCP, BOOTP and RARP, see:
If you do not have 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. For more information on
Subnet mask
2
Subnet masks restrict network communication.
Example: Computer 1 can talk to Computer 2
• Computer 1
IP Address: 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.000
• Computer 2
IP Address: 192.168.1.3
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.000
Note
0 denotes that there is no limit to communication at this part of the address.
In the above example, we can communicate with anything that has an IP address that begins with
192.168.1.xx. (Where xx are numbers between 0 and 255.)
13
Configuring your machine for a network
Gateway (and router)
2
A gateway is a network point that acts as an entrance to another network and sends data transmitted via the
network to an exact destination. The router knows where to direct data that arrives at the gateway. If a
destination is located on an external network, the router transmits data to the external network. If your network
communicates with other networks, you may need to configure the Gateway IP address. If you do not know
the Gateway IP address then contact your Network Administrator.

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
choose their preferred configuration method from the choices covered in the Quick Setup Guide.
3
Please read this chapter for additional methods on how to configure the wireless network settings. For
information on TCP/IP settings, see Setting the IP address and subnet mask on page 15. Then, in Network
printing from Windows®: basic TCP/IP Peer-to-Peer printing on page 79 or Network printing from Macintosh
using the BR-Script 3 driver on page 87, you will learn how to install the network software and drivers into the
operating system running on your computer.
Note
• To achieve optimum results with normal everyday 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 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 MFC-9325CW can be used in a both wired and wireless network, only one
connection method can be used at a time.
21
Configuring your machine for a wireless network (For MFC-9325CW)
Wireless network terms and concepts
3
If you want to use your machine in a wireless network you must configure the machine to match the settings
of the existing wireless network. This section provides some of the main terms and concepts of these settings,
which may be helpful when you configure your machine for a wireless network.
3
SSID (Service Set Identifier) and channels
3
You need to configure the SSID and a channel to specify the wireless network you want to connect to.
SSID
Each wireless network has its own unique network name and it is technically referred to as SSID or ESSID
(Extended Service Set Identifier). The SSID is a 32-byte or less value and is assigned to the access point.
The wireless network devices you want to associate to the wireless network should match the access
point. The access point and wireless network devices regularly send wireless packets (referred to as a
beacon) which has the SSID information. When your wireless network device receives a beacon, you can
identify the wireless network that is close enough for the radio waves to reach your device.
Channels
Wireless networks use channels. Each wireless channel is on a different frequency. There are up to
14 different channels that can be used when using a wireless network. However, in many countries the
number of channels available are restricted. (For more information, see Ethernet wireless network
Authentication and encryption
3
Most wireless networks use some kind of security settings. These security settings define the authentication
(how the device identifies itself to the network) and encryption (how the data is encrypted as it is sent on the
network). If you do not correctly specify these options when you are configuring your Brother wireless
device, it will not be able to connect to the wireless network. Therefore care must be taken when
configuring these options. Please refer to the information below to see which authentication and encryption
methods your Brother wireless device supports.
Authentication methods
3
The Brother printer supports the following methods:
Open system
Wireless devices are allowed to access the network without any authentication.
Shared key
A secret pre-determined key is shared by all devices that will access the wireless network.
The Brother wireless machine uses the WEP key as the pre-determined key.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
Enables a Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-shared key (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK), which enables the Brother
wireless machine to associate with access points using TKIP for WPA-PSK or AES for WPA-PSK and
WPA2-PSK (WPA-Personal).
22
Configuring your machine for a wireless network (For MFC-9325CW)
LEAP
Cisco LEAP (Light Extensible Authentication Protocol) has been developed by Cisco Systems, Inc. which
uses a user ID and password for authentication.
EAP-FAST
EAP-FAST (Extensible Authentication Protocol-Flexible Authentication via Secured Tunnel) has been
developed by Cisco Systems, Inc. which uses a user ID and password for authentication, and symmetric
key algorithms to achieve a tunneled authentication process.
3
The Brother machine supports the following inner authentications:
• EAP-FAST/NONE
EAP-FAST authentication for CCXv3 networks.
• EAP-FAST/MS-CHAPv2
EAP-FAST authentication for CCXv4 networks. Uses MS-CHAPv2 for the inner authentication method.
• EAP-FAST/GTC
EAP-FAST authentication for CCXv4 networks. Uses GTC for the inner authentication method.
Encryption methods
3
Encryption is used to secure the data that is sent over the wireless network. The Brother wireless machine
supports the following encryption methods:
None
No encryption method is used.
WEP
By using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), the data is transmitted and received with a secure key.
TKIP
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides per-packet key mixing a message integrity check and
rekeying mechanism.
AES
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is the Wi-Fi authorized strong encryption standard.
CKIP
The original Key Integrity Protocol for LEAP by Cisco Systems, Inc.

Before using your Brother product in a network environment, you need to configure the correct TCP/IP
settings.
In this chapter, you will learn how to configure the network settings using the control panel, located on the
front of the machine.
The Networkmenu selections of the control panel allow you to set up the Brother machine for your network
configuration. Press Menu, then press a or b to choose Network. Proceed to the menu selection you wish
to configure. For additional information on the menu, see Function table and default factory settings
Please note that the machine is supplied with the BRAdmin Light utility and Remote Setup applications, which
also can be used to configure many aspects of the network. (See Changing the print server settings

TCP/IP
6
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.
This menu has ten sections: Boot Method, IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Node Name,
WINS Config, WINS Server, DNS Server, APIPAand IPv6.
Boot Method
6
This selection controls how the machine obtains an IP address. The default setting is Auto.
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, Remote Setup or Web Based Management (web browser).

Auto mode
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.

2
Static mode
In this mode the machine’s IP address must be manually assigned. Once entered the IP address is locked to the assigned address.
3
RARP mode
The Brother print server’s IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (RARP) facility on your host computer. (For more information on
4
BOOTP mode
BOOTP is an alternative to RARP that has the advantage of allowing configuration of the subnet mask and gateway. (For more information on
5
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® XP, Windows Vista®, Windows® 7 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.
Note
• If you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the BOOT Method to static so 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 Networkmenu, BRAdmin applications, Remote Setup or Web Based Management (web browser).
• On smaller networks, the DHCP server may be the router.
IP Address
6
This field displays the current IP address of the machine. If you have chosen a Boot Method of Static, enter
the IP address that you wish to assign to the machine (check with your network administrator for the 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 an IP address for the network the unit will be connected on.

Fax to Server (available as a download)
6
The Fax to Server feature allows the machine to scan a document and send it over the network to a separate
fax server. The document will then be sent from the server as fax data to the destination fax number over
standard phone lines. When the Fax to Server feature is set to Onall automatic fax transmissions from the
machine will be sent to the fax server for fax transmission. You can continue to send a fax directly from the
machine using the manual fax feature.
To send a document to the fax server the correct syntax for that server must be used. The destination fax
number must be sent with a prefix and a suffix that match the parameters used by the fax server. In most
cases the syntax for the prefix is “fax=” and the syntax for the suffix would be the domain name of the fax
server E-mail gateway. The suffix must also include the “@” symbol at the beginning of the suffix. The prefix
and the suffix information must be stored in the machine before you can use the fax to server function.
Destination fax numbers can be saved in the One Touch or Speed Dial locations or entered using the dial
pad (up to 20 digit numbers). For example if you wanted to send a document to a destination fax number of
123-555-0001 the following syntax would be used.

You will be guided by the on-screen instructions until you are able to use your Brother network machine.
If you are a Windows® user and want to configure your machine without using the Brother installer
application, use the TCP/IP protocol in a Peer-to-Peer environment. Please follow the instructions in this
chapter. This chapter explains how to install the network software and the printer driver which you will need
to be able to print using your network machine.
Note
• You must configure the IP address on your machine before you proceed with this chapter. If you need to

Internet fax overview
12
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.

You can use the Dial Pad to enter the E-mail address. For more information, see Entering Text on page 178.
Please note that also you can connect to the machine using a web browser and store the E-mail address
information to a Speed Dial or One Touch location through Web Based Management. (For more information
As you enter an Internet fax address, the address will appear character by character on the LCD panel. If you
specify more than 22 characters, the LCD panel will scroll the name to the left character by character. You
can enter up to 60 characters.
Press Black Start/Mono Start or Color Start/Colour Start to send the document.
After the document is scanned, it is transmitted to the recipient Internet fax machine automatically via your
SMTP server. You can cancel the send operation by pressing the Stop/Exit key during scanning. After the
transmission is finished, the machine will return to standby mode.
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
12
There are 2 ways you can receive E-mail messages:
POP3 receiving (manually initiated)
POP3 receiving at regular intervals
Using POP3 receiving the machine must poll the E-mail server to receive the print jobs. 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 Shift + Black Start/Mono Start or
Color Start/Colour Start keys.
12
If your machine starts to receive E-mail print jobs, 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 Shift +
Black Start/Mono Start or Color Start/Colour Start keys to manually poll the E-mail server for E-mail print
jobs and there are no mail documents waiting to be printed, the machine will display No Mailon the LCD
panel for two seconds.
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. (For European, Asian and
Oceanic machines, Memory Receivemust be switched On.)
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. FILE NAME:XXXXXX.doc”.
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.
104
Internet fax and Scan to E-mail (E-mail server)
Receiving an Internet fax to your computer
12
When a computer receives an Internet fax document, the document is attached to a mail message that
informs the computer that it has received a document from an Internet fax. This is notified in the subject field
of the received mail message.
If the computer to which you wish to send a document is not running Windows® XP, Windows Server® 2003,
Windows Server® 2008, Windows Vista®, or Windows® 7 operating system, please inform the computer's
owner that they must install some software that can view TIFF-F files.
Forwarding received E-mail and fax messages
12
You can forward received E-mail or standard fax messages to another E-mail address or fax machine.
Received messages can be forwarded via E-mail to a computer or Internet fax. They can also be forwarded
via standard phone lines to another machine.
The setting can be enabled using a web browser or through the front panel of the machine. The steps for
configuring fax forward can be found in the User’s Guide supplied with your machine.
Please see the User’s Guide included with the machine to check that this feature is supported.
Relay broadcasting
12
This function allows the Brother machine to receive a document over the Internet, and then relay it to other
fax machines through conventional telephone lines.
If you wish to use your machine as a relay broadcast device, you must specify the domain name that you trust
at the machine, in other words, the portion of the name after the “@” sign.
A trusted domain refers to the E-mail address. For example, if the other party’s address is [email protected],
then we identify the domain as brother.com. If the E-mail address is [email protected], then we identify the
domain as brother.co.uk.
12
Use care in selecting a trusted domain since any user on a trusted domain will be able to send a relay
broadcast. You can register up to 10 domain names.
Relay broadcast can support the relay of a document up to a maximum of 48 fax machines through
conventional telephone lines.

In this example, your machine has an E-mail address of [email protected], you wish to send a document
from this machine to another machine in England with an E-mail address of [email protected], this
machine will then forward the document to a standard fax machine using a conventional telephone line. If
your E-mail address is [email protected], you must configure a trusted domain name of brother.com on the
machine in England that will broadcast the document to the conventional fax machine. If you do not enter the
domain name information, then the machine in the middle (the machine that will broadcast the document) will
not trust any internet jobs that it receives from the machine in the @brother.com domain.
After the trusted domain is set you can send the document from your machine [e.g. [email protected]] by
entering the E-mail address of the machine [e.g. [email protected]] that will forward the document
followed by the phone number of the fax that will receive the document. The following is an example of how
to enter the E-mail address and phone number.

107
Internet fax and Scan to E-mail (E-mail server)
Setup Mail TX
12
You can set the Notificationoption in the Setup Mail TXoption to either Onor Off. When switched
to Onan additional field of information is sent with the image data. This field is named “MDN”.
MDN (Mail Disposition Notification):
This field requests the status of the Internet Fax/E-mail message after delivery through the SMTP (Send Mail
Transfer Protocol) transport system. Once the message has arrived at the receiving station 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 receiving station sends back a notification to the original sending machine
or user.
The receiving station must support the MDN field in order to be able to send a notification report, otherwise
the request will be ignored.
Setup Mail RX
12
There are three possible settings for this option On, MDNor Off.
Receive Notification “On”
When switched to “On” a fixed message is sent back to the sending station to indicate successful reception
and processing of the message. These fixed messages depend on the operation requested by the sending
station.
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 sending station if the originating
station sent the “MDN” field to request confirmation.
Receive Notification “Off”
12
Off switches all forms of receive notification Off, no message are sent back to the sending station regardless
of the request.
Error mail
12
If there is a mail delivery error while sending an Internet fax, the mail server will send an error message back
to the machine and the error message will be printed. If there is an error while receiving mail, an error
message will be printed (Example: “The message being sent to the machine was not in a TIFF-F format.”).

Internet fax and Scan to E-mail (E-mail server)
Important information on Internet fax
12
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 circuit (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 received.

Overview
13
In today’s world there are many security threats to your network and the data that travels over it. Your Brother
machine employs some of the latest network security and encryption protocols available today. These
network features can be integrated into your overall network security plan to help protect your data and
prevent unauthorized access to the machine. This chapter explains various security protocols supported and
how to configure them.
Security terms
13
CA (Certificate Authority)
A CA is an entity that issues digital certificates (especially X.509 certificates) and vouches for the binding
between the data items in a certificate.
CSR (Certificate Signing Request)
A CSR is a message sent from an applicant to a CA in order to apply for issue of a certificate. The CSR
contains information identifying the applicant, the public key generated by the applicant and the digital
signature of the applicant.
Certificate
A Certificate is the information that binds together a public key with an identity. The certificate can be used
to verify that a public key belongs to an individual. The format is defined by the x.509 standard.
Digital signature
A Digital signature is a value computed with a cryptographic algorithm and appended to a data object in
such a way that any recipient of the data can use the signature to verify the data's origin and integrity.
Public key cryptosystem
A Public key cryptosystem is a modern branch of cryptography in which the algorithms employ a pair of
keys (a public key and a private key) and use a different component of the pair for different steps of the
algorithm.
13
Shared key cryptosystem
A Shared key cryptosystem is a branch of cryptography involving algorithms that use the same key for two
different steps of the algorithm (such as encryption and decryption).

i You can configure the SNMP settings from the screen below.
We have three SNMP connection modes of operation.
SNMPv3 read-write access
With this mode the print server uses version 3 of SNMP protocol. If you want to manage the print server
securely, use this mode.
Note
When you use the SNMPv3 read-write access mode, please note the following.
13
• You can manage the print server by using BRAdmin Professional 3, Web BRAdmin or Web Based
Management (web browser) only.
• We recommend secure SSL communication (HTTPS) be used.
• Except for BRAdmin Professional 3 and Web BRAdmin, all applications that use SNMPv1/v2c will be
restricted. To allow the use of SNMPv1/v2c applications, use
SNMPv3 read-write access and v1/v2c read-only access or SNMPv1/v2c read-write access
mode.
116
Security features
SNMPv3 read-write access and v1/v2c read-only access
In this mode the print server uses the read-write access of version 3 and the read-only access of version 1
and version 2c of the SNMP protocol.
Note
When you use the SNMPv3 read-write access and v1/v2c read-only access mode, some of Brother
applications (e.g. BRAdmin Light) that access to the print server do not work properly since they authorize
the read-only access of version 1 and version 2c. If you want to use all applications, use the
SNMPv1/v2c read-write access mode.
SNMPv1/v2c read-write access
In this mode the print server uses version 1 and version 2c of the SNMP protocol. You can use all Brother
applications under this mode. However, it is not secure since it will not authenticate the user and the data
will not be encrypted.
Note
For more information, see the Help text in Web Based Management.
Secure Management using BRAdmin Professional 3 (for Windows®)
13
To use the BRAdmin Professional utility securely, you need to follow the points below.
13
We strongly recommend to use the latest version of the BRAdmin Professional 3 utility or Web BRAdmin
If you want to avoid access to your printer from older versions of BRAdmin 1, you need to disable the
using Web Based Management (web browser). (See Using Web Based Management (web browser) to
Disable the Telnet, FTP and TFTP protocols. Accessing the machine using these protocols is not secure.
(For how to configure the protocol settings, see Using Web Based Management (web browser) to change
the print/scan server settings on page 19.) If you disable the FTP, Scan to FTP function will be disabled.
13
If you use BRAdmin Professional and Web Based Management (web browser) together, use Web Based
Management with the HTTPS protocol. (See Secure Management using Web Based Management (web

Using E-mail notification with user authentication
13
To use the E-mail notification function via secure SMTP server that requires a user authentication, you need
to use POP before SMTP or SMTP-AUTH method. These methods prevent an unauthorized user from
accessing the mail server. You can use Web Based Management (web browser), BRAdmin Professional and
Web BRAdmin to configure these settings.
Note
You need to match the settings of POP3/SMTP authentication with one of the E-mail servers. Contact your
network administrator or your internet service provider about the configuration before using.
How to configure the POP3/SMTP settings using Web Based Management (web browser).
a Start your web browser.
b Type “http://printer’s IP address/” into your browser (where “printer’s IP address” is
the printer’s IP address or the node name).

Creating and installing a certificate
13
The Brother print server allows you to use SSL/TLS communication by configuring a certificate and
corresponding private key. This print server supports two certification methods. A self-signed certificate and
a certificate that is issued by a CA (Certificate Authority).
Using self-signed certificate
This print server issues its own certificate. Using this certificate, you can easily use the SSL/TLS
communication without having a certificate from a CA. (See Creating and installing a self-signed certificate
Using a certificate from a CA
There are two methods for installing a certificate from a CA. If you already have a CA or if you want to use
a certificate from an outside trusted CA:
• When importing a certificate and a private key. (See Import and export the certificate and private key
Note
• If you are going to use SSL/TLS communication, we recommend that you contact your system
administrator before using.
• This print server stores only one pair of a certificate and a private key that you installed or previously
imported. This printer overwrites the certificate and the private key if you install a new one.
• When you reset the print server back to its default factory settings, the certificate and the private key that
are installed will be deleted. If you want to keep the same certificate and the private key after resetting the
print server, export them before resetting and re-install them. (See How to export the certificate and private

Troubleshooting
Wireless network troubleshooting (For MFC-9325CW)
14
Wireless connection problem
14
The wireless network connection is sometimes disabled.
14
The wireless network connection status is affected by the environment where the Brother printer and other
wireless devices are located. The following conditions may cause connection problems:
A concrete or metal framed wall is installed between the Brother machine and the access point/router.
Electric appliances such as televisions, computer appliances, microwave ovens, intercoms,
mobile/cellular phones and the battery chargers and AC power adapters are installed close to your
network.
A broadcast station or high-tension wire is located close to your network.
A nearby fluorescent light is being switched on or off.

Windows® XP, Windows Vista®, Windows® 7 and Windows Server® 2003/2008
IPP troubleshooting
14
I want to use a different Port number other than 631.
14
If you are using Port 631 for IPP printing, you may find that your firewall may not let the print data through. If
this is the case, use a different port number (port 80), or configure your Firewall to allow Port 631 data
through.
To send a print job using IPP to a printer using Port 80 (the standard HTTP port) enter the following when
configuring your Windows® XP, Windows Vista®, Windows® 7 and Windows Server® 2003/2008 system.
http://ipaddress/ipp/
The “Go to printer’s Web site” option in Windows® XP, Windows Vista® and Windows® 7 is not
working
The “Get More Info” option in Windows Server® 2003/2008 is not working
14
If you are using a URL of:
http://ipaddress:631/or http://ipaddress:631/ipp/
the Get More Info option in Windows® XP, Windows Vista®, Windows® 7 and Windows Server® 2003/2008
will not function. If you wish to use the Get More Info option, use the following URL:
http://ipaddress/
This will then force Windows® XP, Windows Vista®, Windows® 7 and Windows Server® 2003/2008 to use
Port 80 to communicate with the Brother print server.
Web Based Management (web browser) troubleshooting (TCP/IP)
14
a If you cannot connect to the print server using your web browser it may be worth checking the Proxy
Settings of your browser. Look in the Exceptions setting and if necessary, type in the IP address of the
print server. This will stop your computer from trying to connect to your ISP or proxy server every time
you wish to look at the print server.
14
b Make sure that you are using the correct web browser, we recommend Microsoft® Internet Explorer® 6.0
(or greater) or Firefox 1.0 (or greater) for Windows® and Safari 4.0/5.0 for Macintosh. Please also make
sure that JavaScript and Cookies are always enabled in whichever browser you use. If a different web

148
Appendix A
Other ways to set the IP address (for advanced users and
administrators)
A
For information on how to configure your machine for a network using the BRAdmin Light utility, see Setting
Using DHCP to configure the IP address
A
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP address
allocation. If you have a DHCP server in your network, the print server will automatically obtain its IP address
from the DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.
Note
If you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the Boot Method
to static so 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 Networkmenu, BRAdmin applications, Remote Setup or Web Based Management (web browser).
Using BOOTP to configure the IP address
A
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/servicesfile on your host as a real service; type
man bootpdor refer to your system documentation for information). BOOTP is usually started up via the
/etc/inetd.conffile, 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
Depending on the system, this entry might be called “bootps” instead of “bootp”.
Note
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), MAC Address (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/bootptabentries include: (“BRN” below is “BRW” for a wireless network.)
A
BRN310107 1 00:80:77:31:01:07 192.168.1.2
and:
BRN310107:ht=ethernet:ha=008077310107:\ip=192.168.1.2:
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.
149
Appendix A
Using RARP to configure the IP address
A
The Brother print server’s IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (RARP) facility on your host
computer. This is done by editing the /etc/ethersfile (if this file does not exist, you can create it) with an
entry similar to the following:
00:80:77:31:01:07 BRN008077310107(or BRW008077310107for a wireless network)
Where the first entry is the MAC Address (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/hostsfile).
If the RARP daemon is not already running, start it (depending on the system the command can be rarpd,
rarpd -a, in.rarpd -aor something else; type man rarpdor 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 the printer is powered on.
Using APIPA to configure the IP address
A
The Brother print server supports the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol. With APIPA, DHCP
clients automatically configure an IP address and subnet mask when a DHCP server is not available. The
device chooses it's own IP address in the range 169.254.1.0 through to 169.254.254.255. The subnet mask
is automatically set to 255.255.0.0 and the gateway address is set to 0.0.0.0.
By default, the APIPA protocol is enabled. If you want to disable the APIPA protocol, you can disable it using
Using ARP to configure the IP address
A
If you are unable to use the BRAdmin application and your network does not use a DHCP server, you can
also use the ARP command. The ARP command is available on Windows® systems that have TCP/IP
installed as well as UNIX systems. To use ARP enter the following command at the command prompt:
arp -s ipaddress ethernetaddress
ping ipaddress
A
Where ethernetaddressis the MAC Address (Ethernet Address) of the print server and ipaddressis
the IP address of the print server. For example:
150
Appendix A
Windows® systems
Windows® systems require the dash “-” character between each digit of the MAC Address (Ethernet
Address).
arp -s 192.168.1.2 00-80-77-31-01-07
ping 192.168.1.2
UNIX/Linux systems
Typically, UNIX and Linux systems require the colon “:” character between each digit of the MAC Address
(Ethernet Address).
arp -s 192.168.1.2 00:80:77:31:01:07
ping 192.168.1.2
Note
You must be on the same Ethernet segment (that is, there cannot be a router between the print server and
operating system) to use the arp -s command.
If there is a router, you may use BOOTP or other methods described in this chapter to enter the IP address.
If your administrator has configured the system to deliver IP addresses using BOOTP, DHCP or RARP
your Brother print server can receive an IP address from any one of these IP address allocation systems.
In which case, you will not need to use the ARP command. The ARP command only works once. For
security reasons, once you have successfully configured the IP address of a Brother print server using the
ARP command, you cannot use the ARP command again to change the address. The print server will
ignore any attempts to do this. If you wish to change the IP address again, use a Web Based Management
(web browser), TELNET (using the SET IP ADDRESS command) or factory reset the print server (which
will then allow you to use the ARP command again).
A
151
Appendix A
Using the TELNET console to configure the IP address
A
You can also use the TELNET command to change the IP address.
TELNET is an effective method to change the machine’s IP address. But a valid IP address must already be
programmed into the print server.
Type TELNET<command line>at the command prompt of the system prompt, where <command line>
is the IP address of the print server. When you are connected, push the Return or Enter key to get the “#”
prompt. Enter the password “access” (the password will not appear on the screen).
You will be prompted for a user name. Enter anything in response to this prompt.
You will then get the Local>prompt. Type SET IP ADDRESS ipaddress, where ipaddressis the
desired IP address you wish to assign to the print server (check with your network administrator for the IP
address to use). For example:
Local> SET IP ADDRESS 192.168.1.3
You will now need to set the subnet mask by typing SET IP SUBNET subnet mask, where subnet mask
is the desired subnet mask you wish to assign to the print server (check with your network administrator for
the subnet mask to use). For example:
Local> SET IP SUBNET 255.255.255.0
If you do not have any subnets, use one of the following default subnet masks:
255.0.0.0 for class A networks
255.255.0.0 for class B networks
255.255.255.0 for class C networks
The leftmost group of digits in your IP address can identify the type of network you have. The value of this
group ranges from 1 through 127 for Class A networks (e.g., 13.27.7.1), 128 through 191 for Class B networks
(e.g.,128.10.1.30), and 192 through 255 for Class C networks (e.g., 192.168.1.4).
If you have a gateway (router), enter its address with the command SET IP ROUTER routeraddress,
where routeraddressis the desired IP address of the gateway you wish to assign to the print server. For
example:
Local> SET IP ROUTER 192.168.1.4
Type SET IP METHOD STATICto set the method of IP access configuration to static.
To verify that you have entered the IP information correctly, type SHOW IP.
Type EXITor Ctrl-D (i.e., hold down the control key and type “D”) to end the remote console session.
