BRAdmin Professional 3 (Windows
®
) 1
BRAdmin Professional 3 is a utility for more advanced management of network connected Brother devices.
This utility can search for Brother products on your network and view the device status from an easy to read
explorer style window that changes color identifying the status of each device. You can configure network
and device settings along with the ability to update device firmware from a Windows
®
computer on your LAN.
BRAdmin Professional 3 can also log activity of brother devices on your network and export the log data in
an HTML, CSV, TXT or SQL format.

Web BRAdmin (Windows
®
) 1
Web BRAdmin is a utility for managing network connected Brother devices on your LAN and WAN. This utility
can search for Brother products on your network, view its status and configure the network settings. Unlike
BRAdmin Professional 3, which is designed for Windows
®
only, Web BRAdmin is a server based utility that
can be accessed from any client PC with a web browser that supports JRE (Java Runtime Environment). By
installing the Web BRAdmin server utility on a PC running IIS
1
, connect to the Web BRAdmin server, which
then communicates with the device itself.
