Web Based Management
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 machine 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.
■ Configure Scan to FTP and LDAP search functions.
■ Software version information of the
machine and print 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
server and your computer.
1 To learn how to configure the IP address on your machine, see Configuring your network printer on page
9.
2 The default password for Brother print servers is “access”.

®
and UNIX
®
users
are also able to connect to the
machine and manage it.

network configuration.
