For a network with an Ethernet cable connection

For a wireless network
Make sure you have completed the IP address setting and wireless network settings of the Brother print 
server according to Chapter 3 of this User’s Guide before installing the network print software or printer 
driver.

Check the following:

For wired network users: Check to see if there is any LED activity. Brother print servers have two LEDs 
on the back panel of the machine. The upper orange LED shows Speed status. The lower green LED 
shows Link/Activity (Received/Transmit) status.

The upper LED is orange: The Speed LED will be orange if the print server is connected to a 
100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet network.
