APPENDIX A - 5
Reloading firmware using BRAdmin Professional
utility
The BRAdmin Professional utility can be used to easily re-program
your Brother Print/Fax server.
1
Start BRAdmin Professional utility.
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
+<select> or
SHIFT
+<select> on each additional Print/Fax server.
There are three possible ways of sending the new software
version to the print server. For whichever method you select,
you must enter a password for the print 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 Professional utility 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.
