CHAPTER 11 BROTHER INTERNET PRINT (BIP)
11-5
Adding a Second Brother Internet Port
You should not re-run the install program to add a new E-mail
printer port. Instead, press the Start button, select Settings, and
open the Printers windows. Click on the icon of a printer that
is using BIP, select File from the menu bar, and then choose
Properties. Click on the Details (Ports on Windows NT) tab
and push the Add Port button.
In the Add Port dialog, select the Other radio button (Windows
95/98 only) and then “Brother Internet Port”. Click OK (New
Port on Windows NT) and it will give you the Port Name. Any
unique name can be given here as long as it starts with “BIP”
and another port does not already exist with the same name.
Configuring the Remote Print Server
The next step is to configure the remote print server. The
remote print server can be configured with Brother’s BRAdmin
and BRAdmin32 configuration utilities, by accessing the print
server console through the print server serial port (if your print
server has a serial interface), via TELNET, DEC NCP,
Brother’s BRCONFIG utilities or via a web browser. Refer to
Appendix A of the appropriate print server manual for
information on how to use the serial port, TELNET, NCP, or
BRCONFIG to access the print server console.
Print Server Configuration Checklist
✒
Note
Before configuring the print server to receive BIP jobs,
Be sure that the E-mail server at the remote site (the receiving
end) is configured to handle the TCP/IP POP3, and SMTP
protocols (SMTP is only required if the notification feature is
enabled).
1. Configure the POP3 server on the E-mail server at the
remote site with a mail account and password for the remote
printer (generally, the mail account name will be the first
part of the name that you assigned in step 10 of the previous
section; for example, if you assigned the name
[email protected], then the mailbox name would be
emailprinter).
