Web is a powerful device
management solution for IT departments.
CentreWare Web is free software that eases
the chore of installing, configuring, managing,
monitoring and pulling reports from SNMP-
compliant networked printers and multifunction
printers throughout your enterprise – regardless
of vendor. We also address enterprise asset
management through compatibility with
network management tools for Sun, Novell,
Microsoft and other environments.
The Phaser 7500 printer also includes
CentreWare IS, an embedded web server
that allows users and IT personnel to perform
detailed status checks on the system and
consumables, administer system settings,
and manage access and accounting controls
via any standard web browser.
Network Management
The Phaser 7500 printer integrates into virtually
any network environment. Network configuration
is simple with CentreWare Web configuration
wizards, which enable remote configuration
of one or many devices, regardless of
manufacturer. The Phaser 7500 printer supports
many common network protocols (including
TCP/IP [IPv4, IPv6, DNS/WINS], SNMP v3, Novel
IP, Ethertalk, IPP, SLP, TFTP, Port 9100, LPR,
IPP, FTP and WSD) and integrates with network
management applications via CentreWare plug-
ins (for Unicenter
