Features of the Web BRAdmin software

The Web BRAdmin software supports advanced filtering options. These filters offer personalized views of network-connected devices within your network.

For example, if a local administrator in one building wishes to see only the network-connected devices in their network. By using the Web BRAdmin software, the system administrator, or local administrator can create a filter, which displays only the network-connected devices in their local network. All other network-connected devices in the total network can be ignored.

To create a filter do the following:

Start the Web BRAdmin server software and select the Column/Filter Settings button to display the Column/Filter Settings tab, and then click the New button in the Filter Setting area. A screen similar to the one show on the right is displayed.
Specify the correct filter settings. Please note: you can use wildcards, this means that if you want to find all Brother HL-7050 printers, you can enter *7050* in the "Model Name" field. Click here for more information
In the example shown here, we have specified: *7050* for the Model name, we have also specified a password. Click here for more information

Using Passwords

A Filter Password can prevent users from configuring the printers within the filter.

For example, if you create a Filter which only displays Brother HL-7050 printers and you also specify a filter password, everyone will be able to see the printers in the filter you created, but only those people who know the filter password will be able to change the printer settings.

Using Wildcards

The Web BRAdmin software supports the use of "wildcards". Wildcards can be used to further customize the way a filter displays information. If you enter *HL-7050*, the Web BRAdmin software will ignore any text before or after the "*" character. This means that the Web BRAdmin software will find any device that has the characters "HL-7050" 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: 10.2.65.100-10.2.65.200 would allow the Web BRAdmin software to display devices that have an IP address that falls within the 10.2.65.100 through to 10.2.65.200 range.

Deleting a Filter

If you wish to delete a filter you have created, scroll down to the bottom of the filter and click the "Submit" button next to the "Delete This Setting" option:
