How to use a Web Browser to
manage your Device
Overview
A standard Web Browser (we recommend Netscape Navigator
version 4.0 or later/Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 or later)
can be used to manage your machine using the HTTP (Hyper Text
Transfer Protocol). You can get the following information from a
printer on your network using a web browser:
1
Printer status information.
2
Change Fax configuration items, such as Initial Setup. One
Touch Dial settings and Remote Fax.
3
You can also change network settings such as TCP/IP
information, Internet Fax address information, etc.
4
Software version information of the
machine
and print server.
5
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/Fax server and your computer.
Quick Tips:
1
The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol
automatically assigns an IP address from the range:
169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If you want to disable the
APIPA protocol, set APIPA to Off using the machine control
panel. For more information, see
APIPA
on page 10-9. If the
APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother
Print/Fax server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the control
panel, the BRAdmin Professional utility, Web BRAdmin
software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the
machine.
