Encrypting Communication (Ssl/Tls) - Microcom 360C Operator's Manual

Encrypting Communication (SSL/TLS)

You can encrypt the communication between the computer and the machine.
Communication is encrypted via SSL/TLS in the following cases. A certificate is installed in
the machine by default, which enables communication using HTTPS to be performed.
• Creating a Certificate
A certificate can be used when sending data to the machine on the network. This section
describes how to create a certificate using the Web page.
The following two types of certificates can be created.
• Self-signed certificate
A certificate issued by the machine.
• CA certificate
A certificate issued and signed by an external certificate authority for the CSR (certificate
signature request) created by the machine.
·
Confirm that the previously installed certificate has been deleted before creating a new certificate.
·
If an IP address was set in the [Common Name] of the certificate, the certificate is disabled
if the IP address of the printer is changed after creating the certificate. Create the certificate
again.
