ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the present invention provide mechanisms and techniques for providing access to a peripheral management interface, such as a Web-based graphical user interface (GUI) associated with a peripheral device. In order to access a GUI associated with a peripheral device, a user activates the peripheral device, such as by actuating a mechanical switch on the device or by transmitting a wireless signal, such as an infrared signal. Based on the activation, the peripheral device constructs a URL that allows the requesting user to access the GUI associated with peripheral device and transmits the URL to the user's computer. The user then executes the URL, using a web browser, and accesses the GUI associated with the peripheral device, without knowledge of the IP address for the peripheral device.
