Secure Management using BRAdmin Professional 3 (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 3 utility or Web BRAdmin that are available as a download from http://solutions.brother.com/. If you use an older version of BRAdmin 1 to manage your brother machines the user authentication will not be secure.
If you want to avoid access to your printer from older versions of BRAdmin 1, you need to disable the access from older versions of BRAdmin 1 from Advanced Setting of SNMP on Configure Protocol page using Web Based Management (web browser). (See Using Web Based Management (web browser) to change the print/scan server settings on page 19.)
Disable the Telnet, FTP and TFTP protocols. Accessing the machine using these protocols is not secure. 13 (For how to configure the protocol settings, see Using Web Based Management (web browser) to change the print/scan server settings on page 19.) If you disable the FTP, Scan to FTP function will be disabled.
If you use BRAdmin Professional and Web Based Management (web browser) together, use Web Based Management with the HTTPS protocol. (See Secure Management using Web Based Management (web browser) on page 115.)
