Appendix C
Reloading the Print
Server Firmware

General


The firmware on the print server is stored in flash memory. This means that you can
upgrade the firmware by downloading the appropriate update file. To get the latest
firmware update, access the Brother WWW server on

http://solutions.brother.com


Some software versions that we provide will automatically factory reset your print
server parameters. We try to avoid doing this, however, if we add a significant new
feature to our print server, it can result in the print server being factory reset.

Because of this, we STRONGLY recommend that you make a note of the current
print server configuration before you upgrade. To do this, print the configuration
page. Use a fine ball point pen to hold down the Test button on the back of the print
server for less than 5 seconds.

There are three methods of upgrading the firmware in your Brother print server:

1. Use the BRAdmin Professional utility (Recommended)
2. Use the FTP protocol (Recommended if running on Macintosh or Unix

network)

3. Use another system (such as a Unix system to send the new firmware file to

the print server).
