Check to see if there is any LED activity. Brother print servers have two LEDs on the back panel of the 
printer. The upper side LED shows Link status. The lower side LED shows Activity (Receive/Transmit) 
status.

No light: If both LEDs are off, then the print server is not connected to the network.

Link LED is green: The Link LED will be green if the print server is connected to a Ethernet network.

Print the Printer Settings Page and check if the settings such as IP address settings are correct for your 
network. The problem may be the result of mismatched or duplicate IP address. Verify that the IP 
address is correctly loaded into the print server. And make sure that no other nodes on the network have 
this IP address. For information on how to print the Printer Settings Page, see 

Printing the Printer 

Settings Page

 on page 7-2.
