8You must now enter the actual IP address of the print/scan server and the print/scan server name. If you 
have edited the hosts file on your computer or are using Domain Name System, you can also enter the 
DNS name of the print/scan server. As the print/scan server supports TCP/IP and NetBIOS names, you 
can also enter the NetBIOS name of the print/scan server. The NetBIOS name can be seen in the 
network configuration page. The NetBIOS name assigned is the first 15 characters of the node name 
and by default it will appear as BRN_xxxxxx where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address.
Note
 The node name and the NetBIOS name is printed on the Network Configuration Page. To learn how 
to print the Network Configuration Page, see Printing the Network Configuration Page on page 3-7.
 If you search for the device using the search function in Step 8 above, disable the Personal Firewall 
software if you are using it. Once you are sure that you can print, re-start your Personal Firewall 
software.

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.

If you have edited the hosts file on your computer or are using Domain Name System, you can also enter the 
DNS name of the print/scan server. As the print/scan server supports TCP/IP and NetBIOS names, you can 
also enter the NetBIOS name of the print/scan server. The NetBIOS name can be seen in the network 
configuration page. The NetBIOS name assigned is the first 15 characters of the node name and by default 
it will appear as BRN_xxxxxx where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address.
7When you click Next, Windows® 2000/XP will make a connection with the URL that you specified.
If the printer driver has already been installed:
If the appropriate printer driver is already installed on your PC, Windows

driver for use. In this case, you will simply be asked if you wish to make the driver the default driver, after 
which the Driver installation Wizard will complete. You are now ready to print.
If the printer driver has NOT been installed:
One of the benefits of the IPP printing protocol is that it establishes the model name of the printer when you 
communicate with it. After successful communication you will see the model name of the printer 
automatically. This means that you do not need to inform Windows
® 2000 the type of printer driver to be used.
8Click OK. You will then see the printer selection screen in the Add Printer Wizard.

message. Click Yes to continue with the installation. The Add Printer Wizard will then complete.
13Click the Finish button and the printer is now configured and ready to print. To test the printer 
connection, print a test page.

7Web Based Management
How to use a Web Browser to manage your Device
Overview
A standard Web Browser (we recommend Microsoft Internet Explorer® version 6.0 or later, or Netscape 
Navigator® version 7.1 or later) can be used to manage your machine using the HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer 
Protocol). You can get the following information from a printer on your network using a web browser:
■Printer status information.
■Change Fax configuration items, such as General Setup. Quick-Dial settings and Remote Fax.
■You can also change network settings such as TCP/IP information.
■Software version information of the 
machine and print/scan server.
■Change network and 
machine configuration details.
You must use the TCP/IP protocol on your network and have a valid IP address programmed into the 
print/scan server and your computer.
1To learn how to configure the IP address on your machine, see Chapter 2 Configuring your network 
printer.
2The default password for Brother print/scan servers is access.
3You can use a web browser on most computing platforms, for example, Macintosh and Unix users are 
also able to connect to the 
machine and manage it.
4You can also use the BRAdmin Professional utility to manage the printer and its network configuration.
How to connect to your machine using a Browser
Type http://printer’s IP Address / into your browser (you can also use the NetBIOS name of the 
print/scan server, if you are in a Microsoft Windows domain/Workgroup environment). Enter the DNS name 
of the 
machine if connecting to a network that uses the DNS protocol.
Password Information
Web Based Management offers two levels of password access. Users are able to access to the General 
Setup, Fax settings and Lists and Reports. The default user name for Users is user (case sensitive) and the 
default password is access.
Administrators are able to access all settings. The login name for the Administrator is admin (case sensitive) 
and the default password is access.
