      Using Services
General
A service is a resource that can be accessed by computers that wish to print to the
Brother print server. The Brother print server provides the following predefined
services (do a SHOW SERVICE command in the Brother print server remote console
to see a list of available services):
Service Definition
BINARY_P1 TCP/IP binary and LAT service
TEXT_P1 TCP/IP text service (adds carriage return after
each line feed).
POSTSCRIPT_P1 PostScript service (switches PJL-compatible
printer to PostScript mode)
PCL_P1 PCL service (switches PJL-compatible printer
to PCL mode)
BRN_xxxxxx_P1_AT AppleTalk and LPD service for Mac OS 8.6 or
later
BRN_xxxxxx_P1 NetWare service and NetBIOS service
(TCP/IP and LAT are enabled for backwards
compatibility)
where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address (for example,
BRN_310107_P1).
For more information on services and how to define them, refer to the chapter:
commands.pdf on the CD-ROM that was supplied with your Brother product.

Reloading firmware using BRAdmin
The BRAdmin utility can be used to easily re-program your Brother print server.
1.
 Start the BRAdmin software.
2.
 Highlight the appropriate print server. Then press select the Control menu
and choose Load Firmware. You can select more than one print server by
pressing CTRL+ or SHIFT+ on each additional print server.
There are three possible ways of sending the new software version to the print server.
For which ever method you select, you must enter a password for the print server.
The default password for the print server is access.
3.
 TFTP PUT from this host
Use this method if you have TCP/IP already installed on your PC. BRAdmin
will use the TFTP protocol to send the new firmware data to the print server.
4.
 TFTP GET from a server
If you have a TFTP server installed in your network (many Unix systems
provide TFTP support), you may wish to use this option. The new firmware
file must be located in the TFTP BOOT directory on your TFTP server. In
this case, your PC makes the print server read the firmware data from the
assigned TFTP server. If you do not provide the correct file name, then the
upgrade will fail. You must also ensure that the firmware file is set so that
the print server can read the file. On Unix systems you can use the chmod
command to specify file attributes. For example, chmod filename 666 allows
the filename to be accessed by anyone. Also make sure that the TFTP
service is running on your Unix server.
5.
 Netware GET from a server
You must have a Netware server on your network (running IPX/SPX) and
you must store the new firmware file in the SYS/Login directory of the
server. In this case, your PC makes the print server read the firmware data
from the assigned Netware server, the print server attaches to the Netware
server and reads the firmware itself.. 
						

							APPENDIX
APPENDIX-6
Reloading process
The Data LED on the printer front panel will blink during the firmware file loading
process and then Alarm LED will turn on and the Ready LED will blink during the
programming process, and the printer will restart automatically after the
programming has completed. DONT TURN OFF THE PRINTER DURING THESE
PROCESSES.
If the Data LED does not stop blinking after about two minutes, or Alarm and the
other LED blink periodically, check to make sure that you correctly entered all
parameters and that your network connections are good. Then power the print
server/printer off and then on again, to retry the download.
If you encounter problems upgrading the firmware and you find that the network
portion of the printer no longer functions, you should try re-programming the print
server by using the COPY command from the DOS prompt of your PC. To do this,
connect a parallel cable between your PC and printer and use the command COPY
filename LPT1:/B (where filename is the new firmware file). Please note that it is
not possible to upgrade the NC-2000 series firmware using the COPY command. For
NC-2000 series print servers please use BRAdmin or the TFTP protocol for firmware
upgrading. 
						

							APPENDIX
APPENDIX-7
Reloading using the FTP Protocol
from a command prompt
By specifying the print server PASSWORD AS THE USERNAME when logging on,
it becomes possible to upgrade the firmware of the print server or printer (if
supported). The following example assumes that the print server password is
“cambridge”
D:\>ftp
ftp> open 220.0.250.200
Connected to 220.0.250.200.
220 FTP print service:V-1.05/Use the network password for
the ID if updating.
User (220.0.250.200:(none)): cambridge
230 User cambridge logged in.
ftp> bin
200 Ready command OK.
ftp> hash

ftp: 1498053 bytes sent in 8.52Seconds 175.77Kbytes/sec.
ftp> close
226 Data Transfer OK.
ftp> quit
When you see “226 Data Transfer OK/Entering FirmWareUpdate mode.” You can be
sure that the firmware file is being transferred to the print server. If you do not see
this message, the file you are sending to the printer will either be ignored or the
printer will print garbage.
You must use the “bin” command to put the FTP client into Binary communications
mode. If you do not specify the bin command the upgrade process will not function
correctly.
