Security features Overview In today’s world there are many security threats to your network and the data that travels over it. Your Brother machine employs some of the latest network security and encryption protocols available today. These network features can be integrated into your overall network security plan to help protect your data and prevent unauthorized access to the machine.
Security features Managing your network machine securely using SSL/TLS To manage your network machine securely, you need to use the management utilities with security protocols. Secure Management using Web Based Management (web browser) We recommend to use HTTPS and SNMPv3 protocol for secure management. To use these protocols, the following machine settings are required.
Page 132
Security features Make sure that the SNMP setting is enabled, and then click Advanced Setting of SNMP. You can configure the SNMP settings from the screen below. We have three SNMP connection modes of operation. SNMP v1/v2c read-write access In this mode the print server uses version 1 and version 2c of the SNMP protocol.
Security features SNMPv3 read-write access With this mode the print server uses version 3 of the SNMP protocol. If you want to manage the print server securely, use this mode. Note • When you use the SNMPv3 read-write access mode, please note the following. •...
Security features Printing documents securely using SSL/TLS To print documents securely with IPP protocol, you can use the IPPS protocol. Note • The IPPS protocol is enabled by default. You can change the IPPS protocol settings on the Web Based Management screen, by clicking Network, Protocol and then HTTP Server Settings.
Security features Sending an E-mail with user authentication This machine supports POP before SMTP and SMTP-AUTH methods to send an E-mail via an E-mail server that requires user authentication. These methods prevent an unauthorized user from accessing the E-mail server. You can use Web Based Management or BRAdmin Professional 3 to configure these settings. You can use POP before SMTP and SMTP-AUTH methods for E-mail Notification, E-mail reports and Internet fax sending.
Security features Sending or Receiving an E-mail securely using SSL/TLS This machine supports SSL/TLS methods to send or receive an E-mail via an E-mail server that requires secure SSL/TLS communication. To send or receive E-mail via an E-mail server that is using SSL/TLS communication, you must configure SMTP over SSL/TLS or POP3 over SSL/TLS correctly.
Security features Using IEEE 802.1x authentication You can configure IEEE 802.1x authentication for a wired or a wireless network. IEEE 802.1x authentication configuration using Web Based Management (web browser) If you are configuring IEEE 802.1x authentication for a wired or a wireless network using Web Based Management, follow the instructions.

Configuring your machine for a network IP addresses, subnet masks and gateways To use the machine in a networked TCP/IP environment, you need to configure its IP address and subnet mask. The IP address you assign to the print server must be on the same logical network as your host computers.
Configuring your machine for a network Subnet mask Subnet masks restrict network communication. Example: Computer 1 can talk to Computer 2 • Computer 1 IP Address: 192.168. 1. 2 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.000 • Computer 2 IP Address: 192.168. 1. 3 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.000 Where the 0 is in the Subnet mask, there is no limit to communication at this part of the address.
Configuring your machine for a network IEEE 802.1x Authentication IEEE 802.1x is an IEEE standard for wired and wireless networks that limits access from unauthorized network devices. Your Brother machine (supplicant) sends an authentication request to a RADIUS server (Authentication server) through your access point (authenticator). After your request has been verified by the RADIUS server, your machine can access the network.

Configuring your machine for a network EAP-TTLS EAP-TTLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol-Tunneled Transport Layer Security) has been developed by Funk Software and Certicom. EAP-TTLS creates a similar encrypted SSL tunnel to PEAP, between a client and an authentication server, for sending a user ID and password. EAP-TTLS provides mutual authentication between the server and the client.
Wireless network terms and concepts (For MFC-8710DW, MFC-8910DW and MFC-8950DW(T)) Specifying your network SSID (Service Set Identifier) and channels You need to configure the SSID and a channel to specify the wireless network you want to connect to. SSID Each wireless network has its own unique network name and it is technically referred to as SSID.
Wireless network terms and concepts (For MFC-8710DW, MFC-8910DW and MFC-8950DW(T)) Authentication and Encryption methods for a personal wireless network A personal wireless network is a small network, such as a home wireless network, without IEEE 802.1x support. If you want to use your machine in an IEEE 802.1x supported wireless network, see Authentication and Encryption methods for an enterprise wireless network uu page 164.
Wireless network terms and concepts (For MFC-8710DW, MFC-8910DW and MFC-8950DW(T)) Network key Open system/Shared key with WEP This key is a 64-bit or 128-bit value that must be entered in an ASCII or hexadecimal format. • 64 (40) bit ASCII: Uses 5 text characters.

Appendix B Using services 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): Enter HELP at the command prompt for a list of supported commands.
Appendix B Using RARP to configure the IP address Before you configure the IP address using RARP, you must set the machine’s Boot Method to RARP. To change the Boot Method, use the machine’s control panel Network menu, BRAdmin applications, Remote Setup (For MFC models) or Web Based Management (web browser).
Appendix B Using BOOTP to configure the IP address Before you configure the IP address using BOOTP, you must set the machine’s Boot Method to BOOTP. To change the Boot Method, use the machine’s control panel Network menu, BRAdmin applications, Remote Setup (For MFC models) or Web Based Management (web browser).
Appendix B Using ARP to configure the IP address If you are unable to use the BRAdmin application and your network does not use a DHCP server, you can ® also use the ARP command. The ARP command is available on Windows systems that have TCP/IP installed as well as UNIX systems.
Appendix B Using the TELNET console to configure the IP address You can also use the TELNET command to change the IP address. TELNET is an effective method to change the machine’s IP address. But a valid IP address must already be programmed into the print server.
