Securing data when IPsec is unavailable
The following procedures enhance user data security when IPsec is unavailable.
Administrators must instruct users to carry out these procedures.
Fax
Sending and receiving faxes without using IP-Fax:
When sending faxes, specify destinations by fax number, Internet Fax destination, e-mail address, or folder destination. Do not specify destinations by IP-Fax destination.
Printer
Printing with protocols that support encryption:
To use the printer functions, specify IPP and enable SSL/TLS.
For details about SSL/TLS settings, see Configuring SSL/TLS Settings.
Scanner
Sending the URL address of stored files
Send the URLs of the scanned files to destinations by configuring [Send Settings] in [Scanner Features], instead of sending the actual scanned files. For details, see "Sending the URL by E-mail", Scan.
Managing scanned files using a web browser
Use a web browser from networked computers to view, delete, send, and download scanned files. (We use Web Image Monitor installed on this machine.)
S/MIME authentication function
When sending the scanned files attached to e-mail, protect them by applying an S/MIME certificate. To do this, configure the "Security" settings before sending the files. For details about sending e-mail from the scanner, see "Security Settings to E-mails", Scan.
For details about enabling and disabling IPsec using the control panel, see "Interface Settings", Settings.
For details about specifying the IPsec setting via Web Image Monitor, see Configuring IPsec Settings.
