Network Security

The imageRUNNER ADVANCE 6500 Series machines secure network
communications by using IP Address and MAC (Media Access Control)
Address filters, encryption and authentication, and network port and
application access control.

1. IPSec

IPSec (IP security) software is supported as a standard feature on the
imageRUNNER ADVANCE 6500 Series to ensure information privacy
and security for Internet Protocol (IP) communications over the network. It
encrypts all inbound and outbound network traffic to protect against
malicious attacks such as eavesdropping, alternation, and impersonation.

2. Filtering by Port Number

Using the Address Filter system administrators can grant or deny access
to the imageRUNNER ADVANCE 6500 Series for specific groups or
users via Port numbers (MAC Addresses). Port Number filtering permits
or rejects incoming packets from IP addresses or ranges of IP addresses.
In addition, IP address filters to outbound connections can be applied.
For example, if functions, such as Remote Copy and Universal Send are
used, system administrators can block or restrict users from sending files
to specific IP addresses. This minimizes the risk of data being sent out of
the company to systems that are not trusted.

3. IPv6

The imageRUNNER ADVANCE 6500 Series supports Internet Protocol
Version 6 (IPv6), which is a network layer protocol designated as the
successor to IPv4 for general use on the Internet. Support for IPv6 adds
extended business value to the imageRUNNER ADVANCE 6500 Series.

4. Wireless Security and Authentication

The imageRUNNER ADVANCE 6500 Series machines support IEEE
802.1x and, which provide port-based authentication and security to
WLANs (Wireless Local Area Networks).
The wireless LAN security that is supported by the machine is 128
(104)/64 (40) bit WEP, WPA-PSK (TKIP/AES-CCMP), and WPA2-PSK
(TKIP/AES-CCMP).
