Web Based Management
How to use a Web Browser to
manage your Device
Overview
A standard World Wide Web Browser (we recommend Netscape Navigator
version 4.0 or later/Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.0 or later) can be used
to manage your printer using the HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol). You can
get the following information from the printer using a web browser.
1. Printer status information
2. Take control of the printer control panel
3. Software version information of the printer and print server
4. Change network and printer configuration details
You must use the TCP/IP protocol on your network and have a valid IP address
programmed into the print server and computer.
Quick Tips:
1. The default IP address of Brother print servers is 192.0.0.192. To change
it, use the printer control panel, the BRAdmin application, or let your
DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.
2. Refer to chapter 12 of this user guide to learn how to configure the IP
address on your printer.
3. The default password for Brother print servers is "access".
4. You can use a web browser on most computing platforms, for example,
Macintosh and Unix users are also cable to connect to the printer and
manage it.
5. You can also use the BRAdmin application to manage the printer and
network configuration.
