Make sure you configure the administrator password before setting IPsec/IP filtering or IEEE802.1X. Controlling Using Protocols You can scan using a variety of pathways and protocols. Also, you can use network scanning from an unspecified number of network computers. You can lower unintended security risks by restricting scanning from specific pathways or by controlling the available functions.
209 Name Feature type What to set What to prevent SSL/TLS communications The communication content is encrypted with SSL/TLS communications when accessing to the Epson server on the Internet from the scanner, such as communicating to the computer via web browser, using Epson Connect, and updating firmware. Obtain a CA-signed certificate, and then import it to the scanner. Clearing an identifci ation of the scanner by the CA-signed certifci ation prevents impersonation and unauthorized access. In addition, communication contents of SSL/TLS are protected, and it prevents the leakage of contents for scanning data and setup information.
IPsec/IP flitering You can set to allow severing and cutting of fof data that is from a certain client or is a particular type. Since IPsec protects the data by IP packet unit (encryption and authentication), you can safely communicate unsecured protocol. Create a basic policy and individual policy to set the client or type of data that can access the scanner. Protect unauthorized access, and tampering and interception of communication data to the scanner. IEEE802.1X Only allows authenticated users to connect to the network. Allows only a permitted user to use the scanner. Authentication setting to the RADIUS server (authentication sever). Protect unauthorized access and use to the scanner.
