APPENDIX A - 5

Reloading Firmware Using BRAdmin

The BRAdmin application can be used to easily re-program your 
Brother print server.

1

Start BRAdmin.

2

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

access

.

3

TFTP PUT from this host

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

5

NetWare GET from a server

You must have a NetWare server on your network (running IPX/
SPX) and you must store the new firmware file in the SYS/Login 
directory of the server. In this case, your PC makes the print 
server read the firmware data from the assigned NetWare 
server, the print server attaches to the NetWare server and 
reads the firmware itself.
