Relay Broadcast Report can be printed at the FAX/MFC used as the Relay 
Station for all Relay Broadcasts. Also, when the FAX/MFC is used with the

fax transmissions from the network so a Relay Report can also be printed for 
confirmation of sent network faxes. 
Its primary function is to print reports of Relay Broadcasts from external sources 
through the FAX/MFC. Please note that this is not possible without the consent 
of the Relaying Station as permission in the form of Relay Domain has to be

Web Based Management 
 
 
How to Use the Web-Based 
Management Utility 
 
Overview 
 
The Web Based Management utility provides easy management and status 
information for your Brother FAX/MFC. 
 
A standard World Wide Web Browser (we recommend Netscape Navigator 
version 4.xx /Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.xx a or later) can be used to 
manage your Brother FAX/MFC using the HTTP (Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol). 
 
The following are the main features of the Web Based Management utility: 
 
1.  Machine status information. 
2.  Change Fax configuration items, such as Initial Setup, One Touch Dial 
settings and Remote Fax. 
3.  You can also change network settings such as TCP/IP information, 
Internet Fax address information, etc. 
 
You must use the TCP/IP protocol on your network and have a valid IP address 
programmed into the Brother FAX/MFC.

How to Connect Using a Browser 
 
Type the IP address of the Brother FAX/MFC into your Web browser ( Ex. 
http://192.189.207.3). You can also use the NetBIOS name (Host Name) of the 
Brother network board if you are in Microsoft Windows
® domain/Workgroup 
environment (WINS Config/WINS Server must already be set). 
 
If your FAX/MFC supports English, French, German, Dutch, Italian or Spanish, 
you must set the same language in your Web Browser. If your FAX/MFC does 
not support these languages set your Web Browser for English.
