Introduction

Protocols are the standardized sets of rules for transmitting data on a network. Protocols allow users to gain 
access to network-connected resources. 
The print server used on this Brother product supports the TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet 
Protocol) protocols. 
TCP/IP is the most popular set of protocols and can be used in almost all operating systems such as 
Windows

®

, Macintosh

®

 and Linux.The following TCP/IP protocols are available on this Brother product.

By using the DHCP/BOOTP/RARP protocols, the IP address can be automatically configured.

To use the DHCP/BOOTP/RARP protocols, please contact your Network Administrator.

 

If you do not assign an IP address manually (using the MFL-Pro Suite Installation or BRAdmin software) or 
automatically (using a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server), the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol 
will automatically assign an IP address from the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255.

The Brother print server supports the Domain Name Service (DNS) client function. This function allows the 
print server to communicate with other devices by using its DNS name.
