Network Security

The imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX 8700 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 DX 8700 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 DX 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 DX 8700 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 DX 8700
Series.

4. Wired / Wireless Security and Authentication

The imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX machines support IEEE 802.1X, which
provides port-based authentication and security for wired connections.
IEEE 802.1X is also available for wireless connections.
