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.
