COMMUNICATION

BY

IPS

EC

You can encrypt the communication between your computer and the machine.
The communication is encrypted by IPSec. When IPSec is enabled, encryption is applied to

all the applications using the IP protocols.
You can specify up to 50 hosts by their IP addresses. When a host that is not registered

tries to access the machine, it is rejected. When you try to access a host that is not

registered, it is invalid.
You must have a pre-shared key in advance.

Be sure to configure your machine first from the web page to enable IPSec.

1.

Access the machine’s web page and log in as the administrator.

2.

Select Admin Setup.

3.

Select Network > Security > IPSec.

The network system reboots to enable the new settings.
