Using the secure EWS

The SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) allows for secure connections to the Web server within the print device. To connect to the
EWS more securely, connect to the SSL port instead of the default HTTP port. The SSL port connection will encrypt all Web
server network communications between the PC and the MFP.

To connect to the SSL port:

1

Open a Web browser.

2

In the address line, enter the IP address of the MFP being configured using the format: https: //ip_address/.

Supporting SNMPv3 (Simple Network Management Protocol version 3)

SNMPv3 protocol allows for encrypted and authenticated network communications. It also lets the administrator select a
desired level of security. Prior to use, at least one user name and password must be established from the settings page. To
configure for SNMPv3 through the EWS of the MFP:

1

Open a Web browser. In the address line, enter the IP address of the MFP being configured using the format:
http://ip_address/.

2

Click Configuration.

3

Under Other Settings, click Network/Ports.

4

Click SNMP.

SNMPv3 authentication and encryption has three levels of support:

No authentication and no encryption

Authentication with no encryption

Authentication and encryption

Note: The selected level serves as a minimum level of protection. The MFP negotiates with the SNMPv3

requestor, and a higher level of protection may be agreed upon and used by both.

5

Indicate the setting for each sub-item as required for the network environment.

6

Click Submit.

Disabling SNMPv1 and SNMPv2

1

Open a Web browser. In the address line, enter the IP address of the MFP being configured using the format:
http://ip_address/.

2

Click Configuration.

3

Under Other Settings, click Network/Ports.

4

Click SNMP.

5

Click to clear the Enabled check box unless SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 are used in this environment.

6
