10 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^® Internet Explorer^® 6.0 (or greater) or Firefox 1.0 (or greater) for Windows^® and 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.
•	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.
