Software for Networks CHAPTER 2 DEIVER AND SOFTWARE ♦ Web Browser Management Many Brother printers support Embedded Web Server (EWS) technology. This means that you can use a standard web browser to manage many aspects of the printer; for example, you can view consumable life, configure network parameters, view serial number information, printer usage, and so on. Start your web browser and enter the NetBIOS name, DNS name or IP address of the printer. (Windows® Users Only) ♦ BRAdmin professional The BRAdmin Professional software is designed to manage your Brother network connected devices. For example, Brother network ready printers and Brother network ready Multifunction devices can be managed using the BRAdmin Professional software. The BRAdmin Professional software can also be used to manage devices from other manufacturers whose products support the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). ♦ Storage Manager Brother Storage Manager software can manipulate the printer forms that you may have stored in the internal flash memory. You can print the fixed form document at any time from the control panel. To make the fixed documents print, you must first write Fonts, Macros or fixed forms to the memory of your printer. ♦ Driver Deployment Wizard This installer includes the Windows PCL driver and Brother network port driver (LPR and NetBIOS). The administrator should set up the IP address, Gateway and Subnet with BRAdmin Professional before using this software. If the administrator then installs the printer driver and port driver using this software, he can save the file to the File server or send the file in E-mail to users. Then, each user just clicks that file to have the printer driver, port driver, IP address, and so on, automatically copied to their PC. 2-17
