Introduction Web Based Management (web browser) 1 Web Based Management (web browser) is a utility for managing network connected Brother devices, using 1 the HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol). This utility can view the status of Brother products on your network and configure the machine or network settings using a standard web browser that is installed on your computer. For more information, see Chapter 13: Web Based Management. Types of network connections 1 Network connection example 1 Generally there are two types of network connections: Peer-to-Peer and Network Shared environment. Peer-to-Peer printing using TCP/IP 1 In a Peer-to-Peer environment, each computer directly sends and receives data to each device. There is no central server controlling file access or printer sharing. Windows R Windows R MacintoshR 2 1 TCP/IP TCP/IP 1 Router 2 Network printer In a smaller network of 2 or 3 computers, we recommend the Peer-to-Peer printing method as it is easier to configure than the Network Shared printing method described on the following page. See Network Shared printing on page 4. Each computer must use the TCP/IP Protocol. The Brother printer needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration. If you are using routers, the Gateway address must be configured on the computers and the Brother printer. The Brother printer can also communicate with Macintosh®.
