How to use a Web Browser to Manage
Your Device
Overview
A standard Web Browser (we recommend Netscape Navigator
version 4.0 or later/Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 or later)
can be used to manage your printer using the HTTP (Hyper Text
Transfer Protocol). You can get the following information from a
printer on your network using a web browser:
1 Printer status information.
2 Take control of the printer’s control panel.
3 Software version information of the printer and print server.
4 Change network and printer settings details.
You must use the TCP/IP protocol on your network and have a valid
IP address programmed into the print server and your computer.
Quick Tips:
1 The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol
automatically assigns an IP address from the range:
169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If the APIPA protocol is
disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is
192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer control panel (if
applicable), the BRAdmin Professional, Web BRAdmin software
or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.
2 Refer to chapter 9 of this User’s Guide to learn how to configure
the IP address on your printer.
3 The default password for Brother print servers is access .
