Authorized users may incur unanticipated losses from attacks by malicious third parties, such as sniffing, spoofing,

and tampering of data as it flows over a network. To protect your important and valuable information from these

attacks, the machine supports the following features to enhance security and secrecy.

Firewall Settings

Unauthorized access by third parties, as well as network attacks and intrusions, can be blocked by limiting

communication only to devices that have a specific IP address or MAC address. Restricting Communication

by Using Firewalls(P. 367)

Changing Port Numbers

A protocol that is used to exchange information with other devices is assigned port numbers that are

predetermined according to the type of protocol. The port number must be the same for all communication

devices; therefore, changing it to an arbitrary number is important to prevent hacking from outside.

Changing Port Numbers(P. 374)

Proxy Settings

When the client devices are connected to an external network, communication is established through the proxy

server. When the proxy server is used, websites can be browsed more safely, therefore, security can be

expected to be enhanced. Setting a Proxy(P. 376)

TLS Encrypted Communication

TLS is a protocol for encryption for data sent over a network and is often used for communication via a Web

browser or an e-mail application. TLS enables secure network communication when you access the machine

from a computer via the Remote UI. Configuring the Key and Certificate for TLS(P. 378)
