Enhancing the security of this machine by simple operation

[Quick Security Setting] summarizes settings to enhance the security level of this machine.

If the quick IP filtering function is employed, the range of the IP addresses accessible to this machine is set automatically, enabling you to quickly specify access restrictions.

Furthermore, if the administrator password remains set to the default or password rules are not satisfied, the security warning screen is displayed on the Control Panel, prompting you to change to the administrator password that satisfies password rules.

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

Description

[Quick IP Filtering]

Allows you to restrict the devices that can access this machine using the IP address (IPv4/IPv6). The range of IP addresses for which access is to be restricted is specified automatically.

  • [Synchronize IP Address]: In IPv4, this option only permits access for an IP address that has a different end from the end of the IP address set for this machine. In IPv6, this option only permits access for the IP address set for this machine, and the IP addresses of which the high-order 64 bits are the same.

  • [Synchronize Subnet Mask]: This option only permits access for the IP address set for this machine, and the IP addresses that belong to the same network using subnet masks or prefixes.

  • [No Filtering]: Does not use the filtering function.

[No Filtering] is specified by default.

[Security Warning Display Setting]

Select whether to display the security warning screen if the administrator password remains set to the default or if password rules are not satisfied.

[OFF] is specified by default.

  • If the quick IP filtering function is used, the range of IP addresses for which access is to be restricted is specified automatically. To manually specify the range of IP addresses for which access is to be restricted, set [Network] - [TCP/IP Setting]-[IPv4 Filtering] or [IPv6 Filtering] instead of using [Quick IP Filtering].
