Support Have any questions about Brother products? From this window you can view detailed information relating to the selected network machine, with the ability to update its configuration. The upper half of the window displays basic information, such as its location within the building, model name, along with an actual image.
Please note that BRAdmin will need to be upgraded when new models are released so that it can retrieve new artwork and display the correct image. The bottom section of the screen is for viewing and changing the configuration of your device. To do this, simply click one of the options in the left hand pane, which will automatically display information regarding that option in the right hand pane. Please note that you will need to click the Send Settings button for any changes to take effect.
If you make a mistake and do not want this to happen then click on the Cancel button and reopen the device window. The left side of the network configuration window displays a series of options, which when selected offer a range of sub options as shown below. Service Name This field specifies the name of the service.
Some service names are related to the print servers node name and are changed automatically whenever the node name changes. If you plan to change the print servers node name, do this first and save the changes. Then configure the services. Filter This field allows you to select the filter associated with this service. There are four filters available. Bi-directional This determines if the specified service supports sending data back from the printer to the network.
Each predefined string is numbered. BRAdmin allows these administrators to configure multiple devices at the same time. To do this, simply do the following: Highlight all the machines you want to configure, right-click anyone of them then left-click Configure Device Multiple.
Please note that when configuring devices in this way you will not have the same number of options as when you are configuring then one by one. This is because not all models share the same functionality so only the functions which are in common are configurable. You can either save the full device configuration or selected parts of it.
Saving only a selection of the configuration will not overwrite settings which are not affected, which is useful for users who dont want to completely overwrite their existing configuration. For example, you may only wish to save the settings for printing letterheaded paper from the manual feed tray and plain paper, from the lower tray. To save the full device configuration, click File from the toolbar and select Save All Current Settings From here, select where you want to save this file and give it a name.
To save only selected parts of the device configuration, simply go through it and tick all the options which you want saving. From here, select where you want to save this file and give it a name. To load a configuration file, click File from the toolbar then select Load Settings. From here, find your settings file, which ends in. BP3 and click OK. Your new settings should now be loaded into BRAdmin. You will need to click the Send Settings button before the new configuration will take affect.
Loading Firmware To load firmware, simply select the machine you want to upgrade, click Control from the toolbar and select Load Firmware. Alternatively, you can right-click the device requiring the upgrade then left click Load Firmware.
To send a file, select the device you want send to, click on Control from the toolbar and select Send File. Alternatively, right-click the device and left-click Send File. Since it is so simple, it is easy to implement in a very small amount of memory. TFTP is therefore useful tool for managing devices, such as printers that do not have any data storage.
Filters BRAdmin Professional 3 supports advanced, yet simple to use, filter options offering personalised views of network-connected devices in the main window. By using a filter, this is possible. BRAdmin also supports the ability to perform sub filters, which basically means applying a filter within a filter. For example, a network administrator may only want to see HLCDN printers within the sales department.
Alliteratively, you can click the Filter Settings icon. Wildcards can be used to further customise the way a filter displays information. This means that BRAdmin Professional 3 will find any device that has the characters within the area that you are searching. If you wish to find groups of devices in an IP address range, you can use the - character between the IP address numbers you wish to find.
For example, entering: When you have finished customising your filter, click on the OK button and you will be returned back to the Filter Settings screen as shown below. Once at this screen, select your newly created filter and click OK where you will be returned to the main screen. Once you have returned back to the main screen, click on the Filter drop down menu and select your filter.
Please note that it will be permanently removed. Customising Column Views BRAdmin Professional 3 will allow you to add and remove column headings so that you are able to see only the information which is important to you regarding your networked connected devices. To change the column view, simply do the following: Click on Tools from the toolbar and select Column Settings.
Alternatively, you can click on the Column Settings icon. For example, its status, page count, current paper size, etc The MIB passes this information to the network card. Not only that, but you can also re-position where these column headings appear in the main window, meaning that you can customise the way BRAdmin Professional 3 looks.
In the example below, the administrator only wants to display information about the model name, device status, IP address and page count.
The administrator also wants the page count to be displayed at the left hand side of the home page and not at the right, where it is displayed by default. Once you have adjusted the column settings, click the OK button and you will be returned back to the main Column Settings window.
Please note that you can always go back and edit your new column setting by returning back to this menu, selecting it and clicking on Edit. Once you have retuned back to the main window, click on the Column drop-down menu and select your new settings. Using the e-mail alert function The e-mail alert function enables devices to send an e-mail to a nominated person when there is a problem detected at the machine, which means the nominated person does not have to be running BRAdmin Professional all the time or be physically next to the machine to identify it.
This is great for network administrators whose devices do not encounter frequent problems. But what about ones that do? Without any special rules or filters, when a device does encounter a problem it will immediately send an email. If it encounters the same problem ten times day then that it will send ten e-mails. Arguably this can be inappropriate if the problem is easily fixed, for example when it runs out of paper. To prevent this from happening, the way in which each device reacts to certain problems can be customised.
For example, it can be customised so that a device only sends an e-mail after it remains in a particular state after a set period of time or if the problem occurs a set number of times.
E-mail alerts can either be configured globally, for all machines, or locally, for individual machines. After inputting your password, the following screen will appear. Please note that to send an e-mail you do not need to configure any POP3 parameters.
Select the Notification 1 option and begin specifying which states you would like the machine to notify you with when it occurs. As discussed, this is useful for machine errors which are not critical and generally get solved fairly quickly, for example running out of paper. If you do not want to save these settings, click the Cancel button where you will be returned to the BRAdmin home page.
The Notification Settings window will open as show below. Here you can nominate multiple e-mail addresses and have them receive different types of alerts. For example, an IT technician may need to be alerted to most types of problems where as an IT manager may only need to know when devices are in need of major repair or replacement. Before you can start configuring these alerts, you need to specify the SMTP server address and port number together with an outgoing e-mail address.
Once these have been configured, click the Add button. From here, enter the name of the notification setting and also the e-mail address of the nominated person who you want to receive these alerts. If you wish to monitor only specific machines, use the Filter Select option, to specify the filtered devices you wish to monitor. After that, specify which options are appropriate to you then start selecting which errors you are interesting in being alerted about.
Click the OK button when complete. This may be useful for administrators as a quick reference to devices Sends an e-mail message once the problem has been resolved. Ignores sleep messages This provides a link to animated Brothers help files which assist users with resolving common printing problems.
You can add your own preferred links if necessary This function overrides any settings which may have been configured for individual devices through the Configure Device option from the Control Menu. Image 43 Notification settings For each device status, there is a sub-status classification.
Some users may not necessarily need to be notified of every consumable error and therefore they can choose to ignore them.
To configure this, simply input the error you do NOT want to be notified about in the Ignore Errors box.
