Web Based Management
How to use a Web Browser to manage your Device
Overview
A standard Web Browser (we recommend Microsoft Internet Explorer ® version 6.0 or later, or Netscape
Navigator ® version 7.1 or later) can be used to manage your machine using the HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer
Protocol). You can get the following information from a printer on your network using a web browser:
■
Printer status information.
■
Change Fax configuration items, such as General Setup. Quick-Dial settings and Remote Fax.
■
You can also change network settings such as TCP/IP information.
■
Software version information of the machine and print server.
■
Change network and machine configuration 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.

To learn how to configure the IP address on your machine, see Configuring your network printer on page
2-1.

The default password for Brother print servers is “access”.

You can use a web browser on most computing platforms, for example, Macintosh ® and UNIX ® users
are also able to connect to the machine and manage it.
4
You can also use the BRAdmin Professional or the BRAdmin Light utilities to manage the printer and its
network configuration.
How to connect to your machine using a Browser
Type http://printer’s IP Address / into your browser (you can also use the NetBIOS name of the
print server, if you are in a Microsoft Windows domain/Workgroup environment). Enter the DNS name of the
machine if connecting to a network that uses the DNS protocol.
For Macintosh ® users, you can have an easy access to Web Based Management System by clicking the
machine icon on Status Monitor screen. For more information, see Chapter 7 Status Monitor of the Software
User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.
