  1. Start your web browser.
  2. Type "https://machine's IP address" in your browser's address bar (where "machine's IP address" is the machine's IP address).

    • If you are using a Domain Name System or enable a NetBIOS name, you can type another name, such as "SharedPrinter" instead of the IP address.

      • For example:

        https://SharedPrinter

      If you enable a NetBIOS name, you can also use the node name.

      • For example:

        https://brnxxxxxxxxxxxx

      The NetBIOS name can be found in the Network Configuration Report.

  3. If required, type the password in the Login field, and then click Login.
