APPENDIX A - 5
Reloading Firmware Using BRAdmin
The BRAdmin application can be used to easily re-program your
Brother print server.
1
Start BRAdmin.
2
Highlight the appropriate print server. Then select the Control
menu and choose Load Firmware. You can select more than
one print server by pressing CTRL+<select> or SHIFT+<select>
on each additional print 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 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 server.

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 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 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
server read the firmware data from the assigned NetWare
server, the print server attaches to the NetWare server and
reads the firmware itself.
