### Manage Your Network Machine Securely Using Web Based Management (Web Browser)

Related Models:HL‑L2340DW / HL‑L2360DN / HL‑L2365DW
To manage your network machine securely, you must use the management utilities with security protocols.

1. Start your web browser.
2. Type "http://machine's IP address" in your browser's address bar (where "machine's IP address" is the machine's IP address).
3. No password is required by default. Type a password if you have set one, and then click .
   - If you use the SNMPv3 protocol, follow the steps below.
   - You can also change the SNMP settings by using BRAdmin Professional 3.
4. Click the Network tab.
5. Click Protocol.
6. Make sure the SNMP setting is enabled, and then click Advanced Setting of SNMP.
7. You can configure the SNMP settings from the screen below.
   We have three selections for SNMP Mode of Operation.
   - SNMP v1/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.

   - 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.

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

     With this mode, the print sever uses version 3 of the SNMP protocol. If you want to manage the print server securely, use this mode.

     When you use the SNMPv3 read-write access mode, note the following:

     - You can manage the print server using BRAdmin Professional 3 or Web Based Management only.
     - Except for BRAdmin Professional 3, 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 SNMP v1/v2c read-write access mode.
