IPsec presentation
Introduction
IPsec is a protocol that provides authentication, data confidentiality and integrity in the network
communication between devices.
A strong mechanism of encryption guarantees the confidentiality of the user print and scan data
on the network.
IPsec is particularly suitable in a configuration where you need to create a dedicated secure link
between the printer/copier system and a workstation which can be dedicated as a Print Server (or
a Scan Server).
You can connect up to 5 IPsec stations to the printer/copier system.
In this configuration below:
• The printer/copier system is physically connected to the network but communicates only with a
dedicated station (a Print Server or Scan Server for example)
• The Print Server receives the print request from the workstations via IP on the network
• The Print Server send the print requests to the printer/copier system via IPsec
• The workstations cannot communicate directly with the printer/copier system
NOTE
In this configuration, the back-channel communication between a workstation and the printer is
unavailable (the back-channel information is not displayed in the Océ WPD driver).
NOTE
IPsec can be used only with IPv4 (IP type set to 'IPv4 only' or 'IPV4 and IPv6 both enabled').
In the Connectivity - Network adapter section, the IPsec settings are not available when 'IPv6
only' is selected.
