Saving Network Bandwidth

Introduction

All Brother print servers support a variety of different protocols. These protocols are enabled as default - as we have no way of knowing what kind of network environment the printers will be installed into. As some of these protocols generate network traffic, it can be beneficial to disable the protocols you do not use to reduce the quantity of traffic on your network. The BRAdmin Professional software has been enhanced so that you can mass configure several different options. This means that with very little effort it is possible to disable all the unused protocols on your Brother print server.

Disabling Protocols

Start the BRAdmin Professional software.

Highlight all the printers that you wish to configure and then right click the list or select the 'Control | Configure Print Server (multiple)' option. You will then see a configuration screen similar to the one below:

In this screen you can mass configure options, for example, if you wish to disable all the protocols that you do not require, simply disable the necessary protocols by selecting each protocol on the 'Control' tab. When you have finished configuring these items, click the 'OK' button. The BRAdmin Professional software will then prompt you for a print server password, enter the password and the configuration details will be sent to each printer on the network.
