Narrative:

During cruise flight [we] received EICAS warning 'brk rh fault.' [we] reviewed procedure in QRH. QRH said there is a possibility of total brake and/or anti-skid failure. Contacted dispatch through commercial radio. [We] advised them of situation and that we were continuing to destination and would request the fire equipment to standby in case of total brake failure; but we would not declare an emergency since priority handling was not required.the entire crew preformed as trained and the flight and landing; including roll out; were uneventful. Do not know what maintenance found on the brake system; however; it did appear that the right outboard brake was either not working or not indicating correctly since we showed no temperature increase on the system page after landing or during taxi in.
