• Security Policy Function – The security policy function is used to collectively
configure the security-related settings into one security policy. These settings can
be protected by a dedicated password to achieve a high-level of security.
An Administrator can implement policy settings that comply with the security
policies of his/her company in the devices under his/her charge to restrict people,
other than the Administrator and end users, from using functions that do not
comply with the policies, or from changing the setting values.
The information configured in the security policy can be exported or imported by
using the DCM function or the iWEMC DCM Plug-In, and can be copied to
multiple devices.
IMPORTANT
• Only an Administrator, who knows the security password, can disable the
Security function or Service Mode password.
• Proper management and workflows are necessary for users who use the
Security Policy function, and for machines that support this function.
• If an Administrator must log on to access the machine, it is necessary to notify
the service technicians and the Call Center of support of these security policies,
in case the Administrators or users forget their passwords. Therefore, a service
technician must make an appointment with the Administrator, before a visit, so
that the Security function can be disabled. Also, it is important to verify and
establish a system to issue license keys.
• Users can also lock the Service Mode of the machine, and the Administrator
must release it with their password.
• The passwords of the Administrator can be cleared from the Service Mode.
However, if the Security Policy is set to restrict access to the Service Mode,
then the Service Technician cannot clear passwords from the Service Mode. In
this case, an HDD clear (clears many Settings/Registration settings and
Service Mode settings) is required, and it is necessary to explain to the
Administrator about the risk of any security policy specified, and request to
manage the passwords.
