TCP/IP
Brother Print / Fax servers appear to the network as a UNIX host computer with
a unique IP address running the lpd, line printer daemon, protocol. As a result,
any host computer that supports the Berkeley remote LPR command can spool
jobs to Brother Print / Fax servers without the need for any special software on
the host computer. For special applications, raw TCP ports are also available.
The Brother NC-8100h Print / Fax server also support the FTP protocol. This
protocol can be used to send print jobs from Unix systems.
The Brother Print / Fax server is pre-configured to run on a TCP/IP network with
a minimum of setup. The only mandatory configuration the Print / Fax server is
the allocation of an IP address, which can be either automatically assigned using
DHCP, BOOTP etc., or manually assigned using the ARP command, BRAdmin,
the FAX/MFC’s front panel , etc.
For setting the IP address of the Print / Fax server, refer to chapter 1 of this user
guide.
