LAN Server/OS/2 Warp Server
Configuration
As Brother print servers support the SMB protocol over TCP/IP via a NetBIOS
interface, you can easily configure your printer to work with an IBM LAN Server
and OS/2 Warp Server networks that have IBM TCP/IP V2.0 or later installed on the
fileserver. Use the following procedure to configure the LAN Server, OS/2 Warp
Server or OS/2 Warp connect workstation.
Server Configuration:
1.
 Open the Templates folder on the OS/2 desktop.
2.
 Using the right mouse button, drag the Printer template onto the desktop.
3.
 Type in any desired name for the printer from the Create a Printer window.
4.
 Choose an unused port (for example, LPT3) to connect to the printer.
5.
 Choose the appropriate printer driver from the list.
6.
 Click Create and then OK.
7.
 If desired, indicate whether you want to share the printer.
Workstation Configuration:
On each workstation that you wish to print from, execute the following step:
Go to the DOS or OS/2 command prompt and enter the command:
NET USE LPTx: \\NodeName\ServiceName
Where x is the LPT port number (1 through 9), NodeName is the NetBIOS Name
of the print server  (BRN_xxxxxx by default, where xxxxxx is the last six digits of
Ethernet address) and ServiceName is the service name of the Print Server
(BINARY_P1 by default).  For example:
NET USE LPT2: \\BRN_310107\BINARY_P1
NC-2000 series print servers such as the NC-2010h or NC-2100h have a default
name of BRO_xxxxxx. In which case the above line would be entered as:
NET USE LPT2: \\BR0_234523\BINARY_P1
You can find the NetBIOS name and MAC address by printing out the printer
configuration page. Refer to the Quick Setup Guide for information on how to print
the configuration page on your print server.

How to Configure Internet
Printing for Windows 95/98/Me
NT 4.0/Windows 2000
Internet Printing Installation
Overview
Brothers Brother Internet Print (BIP ) software, for Windows 95/98/Me/NT4.0,
allows a PC user at one location, to send a print job to a Brother Printer at a remote
location via the Internet. For example, a user on a PC in New York could print a
document directly from his Microsoft Excel application program to a printer in Paris.
Windows 2000 users can also use this BIP software, but are recommended to use the
IPP protocol support that is part of the Windows 2000 operating systems. Skip to the
“Windows 2000 IPP Printing” section of this document.
Quick Tips:
1. The default IP address of Brother print servers is 192.0.0.192. To change it,
use the print front panel (if applicable), the BRAdmin utility, the printer
front panel, or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.
2. Refer to chapter 12 of this user guide to learn how to configure the IP
address on your printer.
3. The default password for Brother print servers is access.
4. Windows 2000 users can print using TCP/IP using the standard Network
Printing software and IPP protocol software built into any Windows 2000
installation.
5. Windows 95/98/Me users can send print jobs using the IPP protocol via
Windows2000 computer providing that the Microsoft Internet Print Services
software is installed on the client PC, IIS is installed and running on the
server and that the client PC is using version 4 or later of Microsoft Internet
Explorer.

Brother Internet Print
General Information
The BIP software is installed using a standard Windows 95/98/Me/NT4.0 Installation
Wizard. It creates a virtual port on the Windows 95/98/Me/NT4.0 PC that operates in
a similar way to the standard LPT1 printer port from the Application program point
of view. The user can use the Windows 95/98/MeNT4.0 Print Manager to create a
printer that uses this port along with a standard Windows 95/98/Me, NT4.0-
compatible printer. Any Windows 95/98/Me/NT4.0 applications program can
therefore print to this printer (and hence to the virtual port) without modification or
operational procedure.
When a job is printed to the BIP virtual port, it is actually MIME-encoded (converted
to a standard Internet E-mail message) and sent out to a Brother print server at the
remote location using Winsock This means that BIP is compatible with most
common E-mail software packages. The only requirement is that the E-mail server be
capable of sending E-mail message over the Internet.
In more detail, the procedure works in the following way:
·
 If you are connected to a Local Area Network, the E-mail message is passed to
the E-mail server, which in turn transmits the message out over the Internet
using the SMTP protocol (Simple Mail Transport Protocol) to the remote print
server.
·
 If you are connecting via a modem directly to an Internet Service Provider
(ISP), the ISP handles the routing of the E-mail to the remote print server.
·
 At the remote site, an E-mail server receives the E-mail message. The remote
print server, which has its own E-mail address, uses the POP3 protocol (Post
Office Protocol 3) to download the E-mail message from the server. It then
decodes the attachment and prints it out on the printer.
If an E-mail is received that has not been configured to use the BIP virtual port
driver, the printer will print the e-mail out as a text document.

Configuring the Brother Print Server
The  print server can be configured with BRAdmin configuration utility, by using a
web browser, or by using the TELNET command.
Print Server Configuration Checklist
Before configuring the print server to receive BIP jobs, be sure that the E-mail server
at the remote site (the receiving end) is configured to handle the TCP/IP POP3, and
SMTP protocols (SMTP is only required if the notification feature is enabled).
1.
 Configure the POP3 server on the E-mail server at the remote site with a
mail account (Mailbox name) and password for the Brother print server
(generally, the mail account name will be the first part of the Email address;
for example, if you assign the Email address [email protected], then
the mail account name would be emailprinter).
2.
 Make sure that the print server is installed and running with TCP/IP enabled
and has a valid IP address assigned to it.
Because access to the E-mail server on most networks is usually restricted, you may
need to have your network administrator check the configuration and add the mail
account.

Using BRAdmin to Configure the Print
Server
Skip this section if you wish to use the print server remote console or Web Browser
to configure the print server.
Using the BRAdmin utility, you can configure the Brother print server using the
TCP/IP protocol, or the IPX protocol.
The steps required to configure the print server to receive print jobs from a Windows
95/98//Me/NT4.0. PC running the BIP software is as follows:
1.
 Start the BRAdmin program.
2.
 Select the node name of the desired Brother print server from the list and
double clicking on it. (the default node name is  BRN_xxxxxx, where
xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address (MAC address)). NC-
2000 series print servers begin with the letters BRO_xxxxxx. You will be
prompted for a password, the default password is access.
You can find the node name and MAC address by printing out the printer
configuration page. Refer to the Quick Setup Guide for information on how to print
the configuration page on your print server.

3.
 Click on the Internet tab.
4.
 Enter the IP address of the POP3 server (consult your network administrator
if you do not know this address).
5.
 Enter the mailbox name for the remote Brother print server. Usually this will
be the first part of the E-mail address (for example, if the E-mail address of
the print server is emailprinter@xyz, then the mailbox name would be
emailprinter).
6.
 Enter the password for the mailbox, if any.
7.
 The print server is configured by default to poll the POP3 server every 30
seconds. You may change this value, if desired.
8.
 If you have enabled notification, enter the IP address of your SMTP server
(consult your network administrator if you do not know this address).
9.
 Press the OK button and save the changes. Now exit BRAdmin utility. You
have now configured the print server to receive print jobs.

Using TELNET to Configure the Print
Server
Skip this section if you used BRAdmin or a Web Browser to configure the remote
print server.
As an alternative to BRAdmin, you can use the print server remote console to
configure the print server. The console can be accessed via TELNET. When you
access the print server using these utilities, you will be asked for a password. The
default password is access.
1.
 When you get the Local> prompt after connecting to the console, enter the
command:
SET  POP3  ADDRESS  ipaddress
where ipaddress is the IP address of your POP3 server (consult with your
network administrator if you do not know this address).
2.
 Enter the command:
SET  POP3  NAME  mailboxname
SET  POP3  PASSWORD  emailpassword
where mailboxname is the name of the remote print server mailbox and
emailpassword is the password associated with this mailbox. Usually the
mailbox name is the same as the first part of the E-mail address that you
defined previously (for example, usually if the E-mail address is
[email protected], then the mailbox name is emailprinter).
3.
 The print server is set by default to poll the POP3 server every 30 seconds. If
you wish to change this value, enter the command:
SET  POP3  POLLING  rate
where rate is the polling rate in seconds.
Type EXIT to exit the console and save the changes. You have now
completed configuring the print server.
