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.
For users who want to monitor locally connected printers, install the Print Auditor Client software on the client
PC. This utility allows you to monitor printers that are connected to a client PC via the USB or parallel interface
from BRAdmin Professional 3.

Web BRAdmin (Windows

)

Web BRAdmin is a utility for managing network connected Brother devices. This utility can search for Brother
products on your network, view the 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 computer running IIS
1
, administrators can connect to the
Web BRAdmin server using a web browser, which then communicates with the device itself.

BRPrint Auditor (Windows
®
)
1
The BRPrint Auditor software brings the monitoring power of Brother network management tools to locally
connected machines. This utility allows a client computer to collect usage and status information from a MFC
or DCP connected via the parallel or USB interface. The BRPrint Auditor can then pass this information to
another computer on the network running BRAdmin Professional 3 or Web BRAdmin 1.45 or greater. This
allows the administrator to check items such as page counts, toner and drum status and the firmware version.
In addition to reporting to Brother network management applications this utility can E-mail the usage and
status information directly to a predefined E-mail address in a CSV or XML file format (SMTP Mail support
required). The BRPrint Auditor utility also supports E-mail notification for reporting warning and error
conditions.
Web Based Management (web browser)

The Web Based Management allows you to monitor Brother printer’s status or change some of its
configuration settings using a web browser.
