CHAPTER 4 NETBIOS PEER-TO-PEER PRINTING

4-4

Installing the Brother NetBIOS Port
Monitor

1. Start the CD-ROM installation menu program according to the Quick

Setup guide.

2. Select the proper Model and Software Installation menu. Then select the

Network Print Software menu to start the Brother Network Print
Software installation program.

3. Push the Next button in response to the Welcome message.
4. Select Brother Peer-to-Peer Print (NetBIOS) installation
5. Select the desired directory to install the Brother Network Direct Print

files and push Next.

6. Enter the Port name that you wish to use. The port name must start with

"BNT". For example BNT1. Whichever name you choose, it must be
unique. Then press "OK". The name must be unique on your PC,
however other computers can use the same port name as the name you
specify on your PC.

7. You must now enter the server name and port name for actual print

server. You can use the Browse button for searching the print server,
select the domain/workgroup name, and then the server is listed. If the
print server does not automatically appear in your browse list, then you
must ensure that the domain name is configured correctly. Otherwise
you must enter the name manually. The name should be compliant with
UNC (Universal Name Convention). For example
"\\NodeName\ServiceName".

Where NodeName is the NetBIOS name of the Brother print server (the
default name is usually BRN_xxxxxx, where "xxxxxx" is the last six
digits of the Ethernet address), and ServiceName is the service name for
NetBIOS of the print server, by default it is BINARY_P1. For example:

\\BRN_310107\BINARY_P1

You can find the NetBIOS name and MAC address by printing out the
printer configuration page. Refer to the User’s Guide for information on
how to print the configuration page on your print server.

8. Then

press

"OK".

9. Click the Finish button. You must now restart your computer before you

can continue.
