To use the E-mail notification function via a secure SMTP server that requires a user authentication, you need to use
POP before SMTP or
SMTP-AUTH method. These methods prevent an unauthorized user from accessing the mail server. You can use Web Based Management (web browser), BRAdmin Professional and Web BRAdmin to configure these settings.
Note
| | You need to match the settings of POP3/SMTP authentication with one of the E-mail servers. Contact your network administrator or your internet service provider about the configuration before using. |
How to configure the POP3/SMTP settings using Web Based Management (web browser).
| 1 | Start your web browser. |
| 2 | Type http://printer_ip_address/ into your browser. (Where printer_ip_address is the IP address or the node name) | • | For example: http://192.168.1.2/ (if the printer’s IP address is 192.168.1.2.) |
Note | | If you have edited the hosts file on your computer or are using a Domain Name System, you can also enter the DNS name of the print server. As the print server supports TCP/IP and NetBIOS, you can also enter the NetBIOS name of the print server. The NetBIOS name can be seen on the printer settings page. The NetBIOS name assigned is the first 15 characters of the node name and by default it will appear as ”BRNxxxxxxxxxxxx” for a wired network or ”BRWxxxxxxxxxxxx” for a wireless network. |
|
| 3 | Click Network Configuration. |
| 4 | Enter a user name and a password. Note | | The login name for the Administrator is ”admin” (case sensitive) and the default password is ”access”. |
|
| 5 | Click Configure Protocol. |
| 6 | Make sure that the POP3/SMTP setting is Enable, and then click Advanced Setting of POP3/SMTP. |
| 7 | You can configure the POP3/SMTP settings on this page. Note | • | You can also change the SMTP port number using Web Based Management. This is useful if your ISP (Internet Service Provider) implements the ”Outbound Port 25 Blocking (OP25B)” service, and you are not using the ISP’s SMTP server. By changing the SMTP port number to a specific number which your SMTP server decide (for example, port 587), you can still send an E-mail via the SMTP server you currently use. You will also need to check SMTP-AUTH of SMTP Server Authentication Method to enable the SMTP server authentication. | | • | If you can use both POP before SMTP and SMTP-AUTH, we recommend choosing SMTP-AUTH. | | • | If you choose POP before SMTP for the SMTP Server Authentication Method, you need to configure POP3 settings. You can also use the APOP method. | | • | For more information, see the Help text in Web Based Management. | | • | You can also confirm whether the E-mail settings are correct after configuration by sending a test E-mail. |
|
| 8 | After configuring, click Submit. The Test E-mail Send/Receive Configuration dialog appears. |
| 9 | Follow the instructions on-screen if you want to test with the current settings. |
