Check to see if there is any LED activity. Brother print servers have two LEDs on the back panel of the
machine. The upper green LED shows Link/Activity (Received/Transmit) status. The lower orange LED
shows Speed status.
•
No light: If the upper LED is off, then the print server is not connected to the network.
•
The upper LED is green: The Link/Activity LED will be green if the print server is connected to a
Ethernet network.
•
The lower LED is orange: The Speed LED will be orange if the print server is connected to a
100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet network.
•
The lower LED is off: The Speed LED will be off if the print server is connected to a 10BASE-T
Ethernet network.

address is correctly loaded into the print server. And make sure that no other nodes on the network have
this IP address. For information on how to print the Printer Settings Page, see
