Web Based Management

Overview

A standard Web Browser 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
Change network settings such as TCP/IP information.
Configure Scan to FTP
Software version information of the machine and print server
Change network and machine configuration details
Note
We recommend Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0
Safari™ 1.0 for Macintosh
whichever browser you use. We recommend you upgrade to Safari™ 1.2 or greater to enable JavaScript.
If a different web browser is used, make sure it is compatible with HTTP 1.0 and HTTP 1.1.
You must use the TCP/IP protocol on your network and have a valid IP address programmed into the print
server and your computer.
Note
• To learn how to configure the IP address on your machine, see Configuring your machine for a
network on page 9.
• You can use a web browser on most computing platforms, for example, Macintosh
also able to connect to the machine and manage it.
• You can also use the BRAdmin applications to manage the printer and its network configuration.
