port.  
Do not disconnect the USB cable while setting up, printing or  
scanning.  
TCP/IP functions  
After completed the wireless setup for NC-2200w, following TCP/IP  
functionalities are available. You must have a valid IP address  
programmed into the NC-2200w and your computer to use TCP/IP  
functionalities except for the address setting protocols such as  
DHCP/BOOTP/RARP and APIPA.  
DHCP/BOOTP/RARP  
By using the DHCP/BOOTP/RARP protocols, the IP address can be  
automatically configured.  
To use the DHCP/BOOTP/RARP functions, please contact  
your network administrator.  
NC-2200W WIRELESS SETTING 2 - 1  
             
APIPA  
The NC-2200w supports the Automatic Private IP Addressing  
(APIPA) protocol. If a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server is unavailable,  
the NC-2200w will automatically assign an IP address from the range  
169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255.  
DNS client  
DNS (Domain Name Service) allows the NC-2200w to connect to a  
DNS server. For more information, refer to Chapter 5 Network  
Scanning from Windows®.  
NetBIOS/IP

configuration.  
NC-2200W WIRELESS SETTING 2 - 3  
   
Wireless LAN terms and concepts  
There are two types of Wireless networks: Infrastructure mode and  
Ad-hoc  
Infrastructure Mode  
Infrastructure mode networks have a central Access point/Base  
station at the heart of the network. The Access point/Base station  
can also act as a bridge or a gateway to a wired network. When the  
Brother wireless device is set in this mode, it receives all print jobs  
via an access point.  
2 - 4 NC-2200W WIRELESS SETTING  
     
Ad-hoc Mode  
Ad-hoc networks (also sometimes referred to as peer-to-peer  
networks) do not have a central Access point. Each Wireless client  
communicates directly with each other. When the Brother wireless  
device is set in this mode, it receives all print/scan jobs directly from  
the computer sending the print data.  
Channels  
Wireless networks use Channels. There are up to 14 channels that  
can be used. However, in many countries the number of channels  
available are restricted. For more information, see NC-2200w Print/  
Scan server Specifications on page A-4.  
Network Name (SSID/ESSID)  
Each wireless network has its own unique network name (technically  
referred to as SSID/ESSID). The network name is assigned on the  
Access Point or the ad-hoc network devices and should match the  
Access Point or the ad-hoc network devices you want to associate.  
NC-2200W WIRELESS SETTING 2 - 5  
           
Authentication and Encryption  
Most Wireless networks use some kind of security settings. These  
security settings define the authentication (how the device identifies  
itself to the network) and encryption (how the data is encrypted as it  
is sent on the network). If you do not correctly specify these options  
when you are configuring your Brother wireless device, it will not be  
able to connect to the Wireless network. Therefore care must be  
taken when configuring these options. Please refer to the information  
below to see which authentication and encryption methods your  
Brother wireless device supports. For more information on Wireless  
Authentication Methods  
The Brother NC-2200w supports the following methods:  
Open System  
Wireless devices are allowed access to the network without any  
authentication.  
Shared Key (Infrastructure mode only)  
A secret pre-determined key is shared by all devices that will  
access the wireless network.  
The NC-2200w uses following WEP key as pre-determined key.  
Encryption Methods  
Encryption is used to secure the data itself. The NC-2200w supports  
WEP encryption.  
None  
No encryption method is used.  
WEP  
By using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), the data is transmitted  
and received with a secure key.  
2 - 6 NC-2200W WIRELESS SETTING  
                 
Network Key (WEP Key)  
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.  
e.g. "Hello" (this is case sensitive).  
64 (40) bit Hexadecimal:  
Uses 10 digits of hexadecimal data.  
e.g. "71f2234aba"  
128 (104) bit ASCII: Uses 13 text characters.  
e.g. "Wirelesscomms"  
(this is case sensitive).  
128 (104) bit Hexadecimal:  
Uses 26 digits of hexadecimal data  
e.g. "71f2234ab56cd709e5412aa3ba"

Windows® 2000/XP users can print using TCP/IP using the  
standard Network Printing software (Standard TCP/IP port) and/  
or IPP protocol software built into any Windows® 2000/XP  
installation.  
Windows® 98/Me and Windows NT®4.0 users can send print job  
using Brother Peer to Peer Print software provided by the NC-  
2200w CD-ROM. This software makes the Brother LPR port as  
the Windows® Printing port.  
You will need to search and/or assign the IP address or the node  
name of the NC-2200w over the setup procedure. The default  
node name for the NC-2200w is usually BRN_xxxxxx(where  
xxxxxxis the last six digits of the Ethernet address of the NC-  
2200w). You can see this information from the Network  
Configuration Page. To learn how to print the Network  
Configuration Page, see Test Button on page 1-4.

If you cannot connect to the NC-2200w using your web browser  
it may be worth checking the Proxy Settings of your browser.  
Look in the Exceptions setting and if necessary, type in the IP  
address of the NC-2200w. This will stop your PC from trying to  
connect to your ISP or proxy server every time you wish to look  
at the NC-2200w.  
Make sure that you are using the proper Web Browser, we  
recommend Netscape Navigator version 4.0 or later/ Microsoft  
Internet Explorer version 5.0 or later.

General Information  
Protocols  
Protocols are the standardized sets of rules for transmitting data on  
a network. Predetermined protocols allow the users to gain access  
to the network-connected resources. The NC-2200w uses TC/IP  
protocols to communicate and print.  
TCP/IP  
This is the most popular set of protocols used for communication  
such as Internet and E-mail. This protocol can be used in almost  
all the operation systems such as Windows®, Macintosh® and  
Linux.  
Protocol Configuration Items  
TCP/IP Configuration  
• IP Address  
• Gateway (when routers exist on your network)  
IP Address  
An IP address is a series of numbers that identifies each computer  
connected to the Internet. An IP address consists of four numbers  
separated by dots. Each number is between 0 and 255. You must  
allocate a unique IP address that is correct for the attached  
network.  
Example) In a small network, set the IP addresses by changing  
the final number.  
192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3  
APPENDIX A - 1  
               
Subnet mask  
Subnet masks restrict network communication and an example of  
one follows...  
- 255.255.0.0  
Here is an example of an IP address and a subnet mask.  
IP Address  
Subnet Mask  
193. 1.  
255. 255. 0.  
2.  
3
0
0 means this part of the address is not limited for communication.  
Example) PC1 can talk to PC2  
PC1 IP Address  
Subnet Mask  
193. 1.  
255. 255. 0.  
2.  
3
0
PC2 IP Address  
Subnet Mask  
193. 1.  
255. 255. 0.  
3.  
4
0
In the above example, we can communicate with anything that has  
an IP address that begins with 193.1.X.X  
Gateway (Router)  
A Gateway is the transfer device that passes data between  
networks. A gateway is a network point that acts as an entrance to  
another network and sends data transmitted via the network to an  
exact destination. The router knows where to direct data that  
arrives at the gateway. If a destination is located at an external  
network, the router transmits data to the external network. If your  
network communicates with other networks, you may need to  
configure the Gateway IP address. If you do not know the Gateway  
IP address then contact your Network Administrator.  
Node name  
Node name appears in current BRAdmin Professional or Network  
configuration page. Default Node name of the NC-2200w is  
"BRN_xxxxxx" ("xxxxxx" is the last six digits of Ethernet  
address.)  
Node name is also referred to as Windows computer name  
(NetBIOS name) or a DNS host name.

Reloading firmware using BRAdmin Professional  
Utility  
General  
The firmware on the NC-2200w 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, visit the  
Brother Solutions web site at http://solutions.brother.com/  
Some software versions that we provide will automatically  
factory reset your print server parameters. We try to avoid  
doing this. However, if we add a significant new feature to our  
NC-2200w, it can result in the print server being factory reset.  
Because of this, we STRONGLY recommend that you make a note  
of the current print server configuration before you upgrade. To do  
this, print out a Network configuration page. To learn how to print the  
Network Configuration Page, see Test Button on page 1-4.  
Reloading firmware

Status LED of the NC-2200w blinks. Don’t turn off the NC-  
2200w power switch until the NC-2200w returns to ready.  
Only Link LED lights when the NC-2200w returns to ready.
