What is BRAgent?
BRAdmin Professional 3.x and Agents
BRAdmin Professional 3.x is able to collect information regarding network-connected printer / multi-function devices operationg over a Local Area Network (LAN).
In order to collect information from outside a LAN and operate in a Wide Area Network (WAN) environment, BRAdmin Professional 3.x needs to communicate with Agents (BRAgent software) that run on remote
computers. These Agents collect device information from their LAN and on a regular basis pass it on to BRAdmin Professional 3.x. BRAdmin Professional 3.x then displays this information for reference and
configuration.
If the PC running the Agent software is powered off, BRAdmin Professional 3.x will not be able to collect the remote device information from the Agent. For this reason, we recommend that the Agent software is
installed on a PC or server that will never be powered off.
Changing Agent settings
Agent settings can be changed in Windows Control panel. Here you can change such settings as the IP address of the machine running BRAdmin Professional 3.x or the port number used to communicate
between them.
Using Agents to discover devices
After the Agent software is installed and running, you must configure BRAdmin Professional 3.x to contact the PC running the Agent software. To do this follow these steps:
