Appendix C

Reloading the Print / FAX Server Firmware

General

The firmware on the Print/Fax server is stored in flash memory. This 
means that you can upgrade the firmware by downloading the 
appropriate update file. To get the latest firmware update, visit the 
Brother Solutions web site at http://solutions.brother.com/

The Print / Fax server supports multiple MFC models so when 
inserted into the machine the version of the NC-9100h hardware is 
checked against the firmware of your machine. If the firmware for 
your NC-9100h has been superseded with a later version of firmware 
for your model a message is displayed on the LCD. 

Please update 

your firmware

.

Because of this, we STRONGLY recommend that you make a note 
of the current Print/Fax server configuration before you upgrade. To 
do this, print out a configuration page. For more information, see 

Resetting the Print/Fax Sever back to factory settings (Test Switch)

on page 13-4.

There are three methods of upgrading the firmware in your Brother 
Print/Fax server:

1

Use the BRAdmin Professional utility 

(Recommended)

2

Use the FTP protocol 

(Recommended if running on 

Macintosh or Unix network)

3

Use another system (such as a Novell or Unix system to send 
the new firmware file to the Print/Fax server).

Some software versions that we provide will automatically 
factory reset your Print/Fax server parameters. We try to 
avoid doing this. However, if we add a significant new feature 
to our Print/Fax server, it can result in the Print/Fax server 
being factory reset.
