Overview
3
To connect your machine to your wireless network, you need to follow the steps in the Quick Setup Guide.
®
Configuration using the CD-ROM installer and a USB cable is a recommended way for Windows users. By
using this method, you can easily connect your machine to your wireless network. Macintosh users should
3
choose their preferred configuration method from the choices covered in the Quick Setup Guide.
For additional wireless configuration methods please read this chapter for more details on how to configure
the wireless network settings. For information on TCP/IP settings, see How to change your machine’s
Note
• To achieve optimum results with normal every day document printing, place the Brother machine as close
to the WLAN access point/router as possible with minimal obstructions. Large objects and walls between
the two devices as well as interference from other electronic devices can affect the data transfer speed of
your documents.
Due to these factors, wireless may not be the best method of connection for all types of documents and
applications. If you are printing large files, such as multi-page documents with mixed text and large
graphics, you may want to consider choosing wired Ethernet for a faster data transfer , or USB for the
fastest throughput speed.
• Although the Brother machine can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one connection
method can be used at a time.
• Before configuring wireless settings, you will need to know your SSID and Network Key.

For the MFC-J825DW/J835DW and DCP-J925DW, if you connect the machine with an Ethernet cable to your
network, use the Wired LANmenu selections. If you connect the machine to a wireless Ethernet network,
use the WLANmenu selections.
BOOT Method
4
This selection controls how the machine obtains an IP address.
Auto mode
4
In this mode the machine will scan the network for a DHCP server. If it can find one, and if the DHCP server
is configured to allocate an IP address to the machine, then the IP address supplied by the DHCP server will
be used. If no DHCP server is available, then the machine will scan for a BOOTP server. If a BOOTP server
is available, and it is configured correctly, the machine will take its IP address from the BOOTP server. If a
BOOTP server is not available, the machine will scan for a RARP server. If a RARP server also does not
answer, the IP Address is set using the APIPA protocol. After the machine is initially powered ON, it may take
a few minutes for the machine to scan the network for a server.
Static mode
4
In this mode the machine’s IP address must be manually assigned. Once entered the IP address is locked to
the assigned address.
Note
If you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the
BOOT Methodto Staticso that the print server has a static IP address. This will prevent the print server
from trying to obtain an IP address from any of these systems. To change the BOOT Method, use the
machine’s control panel, BRAdmin Light utility or Remote Setup.

This field displays the current IP address of the machine. If you have chosen a BOOT Methodof Static,
enter the IP address that you wish to assign to the machine (check with your network administrator for a
suitable IP address to use). If you have chosen a method other than Static, the machine will attempt to
determine its IP address using the DHCP or BOOTP protocols. The default IP address of your machine will
probably be incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme of your network. We recommend that you
contact your network administrator for a suitable IP address for the network the unit will be connected on.
Subnet Mask

4
This field displays the current subnet mask used by the machine. If you are not using DHCP or BOOTP to
obtain the subnet mask, enter the desired subnet mask. Check with your network administrator for the subnet
mask to use.
Gateway
This field displays the current gateway or router address used by the machine. If you are not using DHCP or
BOOTP to obtain the gateway or router address, enter the address you wish to assign. If you do not have a
gateway or router, leave this field blank. Check with your network administrator if you are unsure.
Node Name
You can register the machine name on the Network. This name is often referred to as a NetBIOS name; it will
be the name that is registered by the WINS server on your network. Brother recommends the name
BRNxxxxxxxxxxxx for a wired network or BRWxxxxxxxxxxxx for a wireless network (where xxxxxxxxxxxx is
your machine’s Ethernet address) (up to 15 characters).

Internet Name Service. If you have a primary WINS server, but no secondary WINS server, simply leave this
field blank.

This field specifies the IP address of the secondary DNS server. It is used as a backup to the Primary DNS
server address. If the Primary server is unavailable, the machine will contact the Secondary DNS server.
APIPA
4
The setting of Onwill cause the print server to automatically allocate a Link-Local IP address in the range
(169.254.1.0 - 169.254.254.255) when the print server cannot obtain an IP address through the

Internet fax Overview
6
Internet faxing (IFAX) allows you to send and receive fax documents using the Internet as the transport
mechanism. Documents are transmitted in E-mail messages as attached TIFF-F files. This means that
computers are also able to receive and send documents, providing that the computer has as an application
that can generate and view TIFF-F files, you can use any TIFF-F viewer application. Any documents sent via
the machine will automatically be converted into a TIFF-F format. If you wish to send and receive messages
to and from your machine, your mail application on the computer must be able to support the MIME format.

Important information on Internet fax
6
Internet fax communication on a LAN system is basically the same as communication via E-mail; however, it
is different from fax communication using standard phone lines. The following is important information for
using Internet fax:
Factors such as the receiver’s location, structure of the LAN system, and how busy the network (such as
the Internet) is, may cause the system to take a long time to send back an error mail (normally 20 sec. to
30 sec.).
In the case of transmission through the Internet, due to its low level of security, we recommend that you
use standard phone lines to send confidential documents.
If the receiver’s mail system is not compatible with the MIME format, you cannot transmit a document to
the receiver. Depending on the receiver’s server, there may be some cases in which the error mail will not
be sent back.
If the size of a document’s image data is too large, there is a possibility of unsuccessful transmission.
You cannot change the font or character size of Internet mail that you receive.

How to send an Internet fax
6
Sending an Internet fax is the same as sending a normal fax. (For more information, see the Basic User’s
Guide.) If you have already programmed the addresses of the destination Internet fax machines as
Speed-Dial, you can send the Internet fax by loading the document into the machine.
Note
• If you wish to manually enter the Internet fax address, load the document into the machine and press
.
Press to choose numbers, characters or special characters. Enter the address and press OK, and then
press Black Start/Mono Start or Color Start/Colour Start.
For more information on how to enter text, see the Quick Setup Guide.
• You can register the E-mail address information from Web Based Management or Remote Setup.
After the document is scanned, it is transmitted to the recipient Internet fax machine automatically via your
SMTP server. You can cancel the send operation by pressing the Stop/Exit key during scanning. After the
transmission is finished, the machine will return to standby mode.

Note
Some E-mail servers do not allow you to send large E-mail documents (the System Administrator will often
place a limit on the maximum E-mail size). With this function enabled, the machine will display
Out of Memorywhen trying to send E-mail documents over 1 Mbyte in size. The document will not be
sent and an error report will be printed. The document you are sending should be separated into smaller
documents that will be accepted by the mail server. (For your information, a 42 page document based on
the ITU-T Test Chart #1 test chart is approximately 1 Mbyte in size.)

How to receive an Internet fax
6
There are 2 ways you can receive E-mail messages:
POP3 receiving at regular intervals
POP3 receiving (manually initiated)
Using POP3 receiving the machine must poll the E-mail server to receive the data. This polling can occur at
set intervals (for example, you can configure the machine to poll the E-mail server at 10 minute intervals) or
you can manually poll the server by pressing the Shift + Black Start/Mono Start or
Color Start/Colour Start keys.
If your machine starts to receive E-mail data, the LCD panel will reflect this activity. For example, you will see
Receivingon the LCD panel followed by xx E-mail(s). If you press the Shift + Black Start/Mono Start
or Color Start/Colour Start keys to manually poll the E-mail server for E-mail data and there are no mail
documents waiting to be printed, the machine will display No Mailon the LCD panel for two seconds.
Note
• If your machine is out of paper when receiving data, the received data will be held in the machine’s
memory. This data will be printed automatically after paper is re-inserted into the machine.
• If the received mail is not in a plain text format or an attached file is not in the TIFF-F format, the following
error message will be printed: “ATTACHED FILE FORMAT NOT SUPPORTED. FILE
NAME:XXXXXX.doc”. If the received mail is too large, the following error message will be printed:
“E-MAIL FILE TOO LARGE.”. If Delete POP Receive Error Mail is ON (default) then the error mail is
automatically deleted from the E-mail server.

MDN (Message Disposition Notification):
This field requests the status of the Internet Fax/E-mail message after delivery through the SMTP (Simple
Mail Transfer Protocol) transport system. Once the message has arrived at the receiver this data is used
when the machine or user reads or prints the received Internet Fax or E-mail. For example, if the message is
opened for reading or is printed the receiver sends back a notification to the original sending machine or user.
The receiver must support the MDN field in order to be able to send a notification report, otherwise the request
will be ignored.

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. This chapter explains how to configure them.
You can configure the following security features:

Security features
Sending an E-mail with user authentication
7
This machine supports POP before SMTP and SMTP-AUTH methods to send an E-mail via an E-mail server
that requires a user authentication. These methods prevent an unauthorized user from accessing the E-mail
server. You can use Web Based Management and 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.
E-mail server settings
You need to match the settings of SMTP authentication method with the method used by your E-mail server.
Contact your network administrator or your ISP (Internet Service Provider) about the E-mail server
configuration.
You will also need to check SMTP-AUTH of SMTP Server Authentication Method to enable the SMTP
server authentication.
SMTP settings
You can change the SMTP port number using Web Based Management. This is useful if your ISP (Internet
Service Provider) implements the “Outbound Port 25 Blocking (OP25B)” service.
7
By changing the SMTP port number to a specific number which your ISP is using for the SMTP server (for
example, port 587), you would then be able to send an E-mail via the SMTP server.
If you can use both POP before SMTP and SMTP-AUTH, we recommend choosing SMTP-AUTH.
If you choose POP before SMTP for the SMTP Server Authentication Method, you need to configure the
POP3 settings. You can also use the APOP method if needed.

To use the BRAdmin Professional 3 utility securely, you need to follow the
points below

We strongly recommend to use the latest version of the BRAdmin Professional 3 utility that is available as
a download from http://solutions.brother.com/. If you use an older version of BRAdmin to manage your
Brother machines the user authentication will not be secure.
If you are managing a mixed group of older print servers and the print servers with BRAdmin
Professional 3, we recommend using a different password in each group. This will ensure security is
maintained on the new print servers.
