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.
Machine status information
Change network settings such as TCP/IP information
Software version information of the machine and print server
Change network and machine configuration details
Note
We recommend Microsoft
Safari 1.3 ( or greater) for Macintosh. Please also make sure that JavaScript and Cookies are always
enabled in whichever browser you use. 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 Setting the IP address and subnet mask
on page 13.
• You can use a web browser on most computing platforms, for example, Macintosh and UNIX users are
also able to connect to the machine and manage it.
• You can also use the BRAdmin applications to manage the machine and its network configuration.
• This print server also supports HTTPS for secure management using SSL. See Managing your network
printer securely on page 96.
