Encrypting communication using Web Connection

You can enhance security by encrypting communication between the computer and Web Connection with SSL.

The SSL certificate is registered on this machine when it is shipped. Therefore, only enabling SSL/TLS on this machine allows SSL encrypted communication immediately after the setup.

In the administrator mode, select [Security] - [PKI Settings] - [SSL Setting], then configure the following settings.

Settings	Description
[Mode using SSL/TLS]	Select a mode to perform SSL communication. [Admin. Mode]: Uses SSL communication in the administrator mode only. [Admin. Mode and User Mode]: Uses SSL communication in both the administrator mode and user mode. [None]: Does not use SSL communication. [None] is specified by default.
[Encryption Strength]	Select the SSL encryption strength. Select it according to your environment. [AES-256, 3DES-168, RC4-128] is specified by default.
[SSL/TLS Version Setting]	Select the version of the SSL to be used. Select the file according to your environment.
