Security features (For MFC-6490CW and MFC-6890CDW)

Using E-mail notification with user authentication

To use the E-mail notification function via secure SMTP server that requires a user authentication, you need to use POP before SMTP or SMTP-AUTH method. These methods prevent an unauthorized user from accessing the mail server. You can use BRAdmin Professional and Web BRAdmin to configure these settings.

Note

You need to match the settings of POP3/SMTP authentication with one of the E-mail servers. Contact your network administrator or your internet service provider about the configuration before using.

Managing your network machine securely 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 BRAdmin 1 to manage your Brother machines the user authentication will not be secure.

„Disable the TELNET, FTP and TFTP protocols. Accessing the machine using these protocols is not secure. You can configure the protocol settings from BRAdmin Professional.

„If you are managing a mixed group of older print servers 2 and the new NC-170h or NC-180w print server with BRAdmin Professional, we recommend using a different password in each group. This will ensure security is maintained on the new NC-170h or NC-180w print server.
