Secure Management Using Bradmin Professional 3 (Windows ) - Brother MFC-8690DW User Manual

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.
Note
For more information, see the Help text in Web Based Management.
Secure Management using BRAdmin Professional 3 (Windows
To use the BRAdmin Professional utility securely, you need to follow the points below.
We strongly recommend to use the latest version of the BRAdmin Professional 3 utility or Web BRAdmin
that are available as a download from http://solutions.brother.com/. If you use an older version of
1
BRAdmin to manage your brother machines the user authentication will not be secure.
If you want to avoid access to your printer from older versions of BRAdmin
access from older versions of BRAdmin
using Web Based Management (web browser). (See Using Web Based Management (web browser) to
change the print/scan server settings on page 20.)
Disable the Telnet, FTP and TFTP protocols. Accessing the machine using these protocols is not secure.
(For how to configure the protocol settings, see Using Web Based Management (web browser) to change
the print/scan server settings on page 20.) If you disable the FTP, Scan to FTP function will be disabled.
If you use BRAdmin Professional and Web Based Management (web browser) together, use Web Based
Management with the HTTPS protocol. (See Secure Management using Web Based Management (web
browser) on page 167.)
If you are managing a mixed group of older print servers
servers with BRAdmin Professional, we recommend using a different password in each group. This will
ensure security is maintained on the new NC-6800h or NC-7600w print servers.
