Secure Management using BRAdmin Professional (for Windows®)

To use the BRAdmin Professional utility securely, you need to follow the points below.
• 
We strongly recommend to use the latest version of the BRAdmin Professional utility or Web BRAdmin that are available as a download from http://solutions.brother.com If you use an older version of BRAdmin1 to manage your brother devices the user authentication will not be secure.
• 
If you want to avoid access to your printer from older versions of BRAdmin1, you need to disable the access from older versions of BRAdmin1 from Advanced Setting of SNMP on Configure Protocol page by using Web Based Management (web browser). See Using Web Based Management (web browser) to change the print server settings.
• 
Disable the Telnet, FTP and TFTP protocols. Accessing the machine using these protocols is not secure. For how to configure the protocol settings, see Using Web Based Management (web browser) to change the print server settings.
• 
If you use BRAdmin Professional and Web Based Management (web browser) together, use Web Based Management with HTTPS protocol. See Secure Management using Web Based Management (web browser).
• 
If you are managing a mixed group of older print servers2 and the new NC-6500h or NC-7300w print server with BRAdmin Professional, we recommend using a different password in each group.
