Web Based Management

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.
