Reloading firmware using BRAdmin Professional 
utility

The BRAdmin Professional utility can be used to easily re-program 
your Brother Print/Fax server.

1

Start BRAdmin Professional utility.

2

Highlight the appropriate Print/Fax server. Then press select the 
Control menu and choose Load Firmware. You can select more 
than one Print/Fax server by pressing CTRL+<select> or 
SHIFT+<select> on each additional Print/Fax server.

There are three possible ways of sending the new software 
version to the print server. For whichever method you select, 
you must enter a password for the print server. The default 
password for the Print/Fax server is 

access

.

TFTP PUT from this host

Use this method if you have TCP/IP already installed on your 
PC. BRAdmin Professional utility will use the TFTP protocol to 
send the new firmware data to the Print/Fax server.

TFTP GET from a server

If you have a TFTP server installed in your network (many Unix 
systems provide TFTP support), you may wish to use this 
option. The new firmware file must be located in the TFTP 
BOOT directory on your TFTP server. In this case, your PC 
makes the Print/Fax server read the firmware data from the 
assigned TFTP server. If you do not provide the correct file 
name, then the upgrade will fail. You must also ensure that the 
firmware file is set so that the Print/Fax server can read the file. 
On Unix systems you can use the chmod command to specify 
file attributes. For example, 

chmod filename 666

 allows the 

filename to be accessed by anyone. Also make sure that the 
TFTP service is running on your Unix server.
