• We recommend secure SSL communication (HTTPS) be used. 
• Except for BRAdmin Professional 3 and Web BRAdmin, all applications that use SNMPv1/v2c will be 
restricted. To allow the use of SNMPv1/v2c applications, use SNMPv3 read-write access and v1/v2c 
read-only access or SNMPv1/v2c read-write access mode.
 
 SNMPv3 read-write access and v1/v2c read-only access
In this mode the print server uses the read-write access of version 3 and the read-only access of version 
1 and version 2c of the SNMP protocol.
Note
 
When you use the SNMPv3 read-write access and v1/v2c read-only access mode, some of Brother 
applications (e.g. BRAdmin Light) that access to the print server do not work properly since they authorize 
the read-only access of version 1 and version 2c. If you want to use all applications, use the SNMPv1/v2c 
read-write access mode.
 
 SNMPv1/v2c read-write access
In this mode the print server uses version 1 and version 2c of the SNMP protocol. You can use all Brother 
applications under this mode. However, it is not secure since it will not authenticate the user and the data 
will not be encrypted.
