Security features

•You can manage the print server by using BRAdmin Professional 3, Web BRAdmin or Web Based Management (web browser) only.

•We recommend secure SSL communication (HTTPS) be used.

•Except for BRAdmin Professional 3 and Web BRAdmin, all applications that use SNMPv1/v2c will be restricted. To allow the use of SNMPv1/v2c applications, use SNMPv3 read-write access and v1/v2c read-only access or SNMPv1/v2c read-write access mode.

„SNMPv3 read-write access and v1/v2c read-only access

In this mode the print server uses the read-write access of version 3 and the read-only access of version 1 and version 2c of the SNMP protocol.

Note

When you use the SNMPv3 read-write access and v1/v2c read-only access mode, some of Brother applications (e.g. BRAdmin Light) that access to the print server do not work properly since they authorize the read-only access of version 1 and version 2c. If you want to use all applications, use the SNMPv1/v2c read-write access mode.

„SNMPv1/v2c read-write access

In this mode the print server uses version 1 and version 2c of the SNMP protocol. You can use all Brother applications under this mode. However, it is not secure since it will not authenticate the user and the data will not be encrypted.

Note

For more information, see the Help text in the Web Based Management.
