APPENDIX A-2 TELNET To connect to the Print / Fax server using TELNET on UNIX, Windows ® NT®, or most other TCP/IP systems, type: TELNET IP address at the command prompt of the system prompt, where ipaddress is the IP address of the Print / Fax server. When you are connected, push RETURN or ENTER to get the # prompt, enter the password access (the password will not appear on the screen), and type anything in response to the Enter Username> prompt. When you see the Local> prompt, you are ready to enter commands. Enter HELP at the command prompt for a list of supported commands. BRCONFIG Brother BRCONFIG utility runs on the DOS system prompt and is installed with BRAdmin. To connect the Print / Fax server using the Brother BRCONFIG NetWare utility, Choose the BRCONFIG utility from the Brother BRAdmin utilities. If you have only one Print / Fax server, you will be immediately connected to that server. If you have more than one Print / Fax server, you will be given a list of available Print / Fax servers. Type the number of the Print / Fax server to which you wish to connect. When you are connected, enter the password access (the password will not appear on the screen) at the # prompt, and type anything in response to the Enter Username> prompt. When you get the Local> prompt, you are ready to enter commands. To use BRCONFIG, a Novell Server (running the IPX protocol) is necessary and an active connection must be made to the server. Enter HELP at the command prompt for a list of supported commands.
APPENDIX A-3 B BAppendix B Using Services General A service is a resource that can be accessed by computers that wish to print to the Brother Print / Fax server. The Brother Print / Fax server provides the following predefined services (do a SHOW SERVICE command in the Brother Print / Fax server remote console to see a list of available services): Service (Example) Definition BINARY_P1 TCP/IP binary service TEXT_P1 TCP/IP text service (adds carriage return after each line feed). POSTSCRIPT_P1 PostScript service (switches PJL-compatible printer to PostScript mode) PCL_P1 PCL service (switches PJL-compatible printer to PCL mode) BRN_xxxxxx_P1_AT AppleTalk with Quickdraw Driver for Mac OS 8.6 – 9.1 BRN_xxxxxx_P1 NetWare service and NetBIOS service (TCP/IP is enabled for backwards compatibility) where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address (for example, BRN_310107_P1).
APPENDIX A-4 C CAppendix C Reloading the Print / Fax Server Firmware General The firmware on the Print / Fax 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 Solutions web site at http://solutions.brother.com/ The Print / Fax server supports multiple MFC models so when inserted into the MFC the version of the NC-8100h hardware is checked against the firmware of your machine. If the firmware for your NC-8100h has been superseded with a later version of firmware for your model a message is displayed on the LCD. “Please update your firmware”. Some firmware versions that we provide will automatically factory reset your Print / Fax server parameters. We try to avoid doing this, however, if we add a significant new feature to our Print / Fax server, it can result in the Print / Fax server being factory reset. Because of this, we STRONGLY recommend that you make a note of the current Print / Fax server configuration before you upgrade. To do this, Print out a configuration page by referring to the Quick Setup Guide that was supplied with the NC-8100h for details on how to print a configuration page. There are three methods of upgrading the firmware in your Brother Print / Fax server: 1. Use the BRAdmin application (Recommended) 2. Use the FTP protocol (Recommended if running on Macintosh or Unix network) 3. Use another system (such as a Novell or Unix system to send the new firmware file to the Print / Fax server).
APPENDIX A-5 Reloading firmware using BRAdmin The BRAdmin application can be used to easily re-program your Brother Print / Fax server. 1. Start BRAdmin. 2. Highlight the appropriate Print / Fax server. Then press select the Control menu and choose Load Firmware. You can select more than one Print / Fax server by pressing CTRL+ or SHIFT+ on each additional Print / Fax server. There are three possible ways of sending the new software version to the Print / Fax server. For whichever method you select, you must enter a password for the Print / Fax server. The default password for the Print / Fax server is access. 3. TFTP PUT from this host Use this method if you have TCP/IP already installed on your PC. BRAdmin will use the TFTP protocol to send the new firmware data to the Print / Fax server. 4. TFTP GET from a server If you have a TFTP server installed in your network (many Unix systems provide TFTP support), you may wish to use this option. The new firmware file must be located in the TFTP BOOT directory on your TFTP server. In this case, your PC makes the Print / Fax server read the firmware data from the assigned TFTP server. If you do not provide the correct file name, then the upgrade will fail. You must also ensure that the firmware file is set so that the Print / Fax server can read the file. On Unix systems you can use the chmod command to specify file attributes. For example, chmod filename 666 allows the filename to be accessed by anyone. Also make sure that the TFTP service is running on your Unix server. 5. Netware GET from a server You must have a Netware server on your network (running IPX/SPX) and you must store the new firmware file in the SYS/Login directory of the server. In this case, your PC makes the Print / Fax server read the firmware data from the assigned Netware server, the Print / Fax server attaches to the Netware server and reads the firmware itself. NOTE: AFTER SENDING FIRMWARE TO THE MFC, DO NOT TURN OFF THE MFC UNTIL AFTER THE MFC HAS PERFORMED AN AUTOMATIC RESTART.
APPENDIX A-6 Reloading using the FTP Protocol from a command prompt By specifying the Print / Fax server PASSWORD AS THE USERNAME when logging on, it becomes possible to upgrade the firmware of the Print / Fax server or printer. The following example assumes that the Print / Fax server password is “cambridge” D:\>ftp ftp> open 220.0.250.200 Connected to 220.0.250.200. 220 FTP print service:V-1.05/Use the network password for the ID if updating. User (220.0.250.200:(none)): cambridge 230 User cambridge logged in. ftp> bin 200 Ready command OK. ftp> hash Hash mark printing on ftp: (2048 bytes/hash mark) . ftp> send brnt261.blf 200 Ready command OK. 150 Transfer Start ######################################################### ######################################################### ######################################################### ######################################################### ### 226 Data Transfer OK/Entering FirmWareUpdate mode. ftp: 1498053 bytes sent in 8.52Seconds 175.77Kbytes/sec. ftp> close 226 Data Transfer OK. ftp> quit When you see “226 Data Transfer OK/Entering FirmWareUpdate mode.” You can be sure that the firmware file is being transferred to the Print / Fax server. If you do not see this message, the file you are sending to the MFC will either be ignored or the printer will print garbage. You must use the “bin” command to put the FTP client into Binary communications mode. If you do not specify the bin command the upgrade process will not function correctly. NOTE: AFTER SENDING FIRMWARE TO THE MFC, DO NOT TURN OFF THE MFC UNTIL AFTER THE MFC HAS PERFORMED AN AUTOMATIC RESTART.
