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/scan 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/scan server and your computer.

To learn how to configure the IP address on your machine, see Chapter 2 Configuring your network
printer.
2
The default password for Brother print/scan 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 utility 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/scan 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.
