Overview And Sample Settings - Epson SureColor F-Series Network Manual

Some printers may not support secure communications using IPsec/Access Control. For
information on whether your printer supports these features, see the printer manual. This
document provides sample IPsec/Access Control configurations and information on setup
and troubleshooting.

Overview and Sample Settings

IPsec and Access Control are configured differently and use different connection types.
Review the sample settings and choose a configuration suited to your objectives.

Sample 1
The product accepts from the client only data secured using IPsec. Normal data (i.e. data
not secured using IPsec) are not accepted.
Sample 2
The product accepts print data from specific clients only. Data from other clients and
non-print data from the specified clients are not accepted.
Sample 3
The product accepts only specific types of data from specific clients. In this example,
security levels are set separately for each client type so that the product accepts all data
from administrator clients (including product management and print data) but only print
data from print clients and no data at all from other clients.
Product Security Policies: An Overview
You can create one Default Policy and Group Policy 1-10.
O
If there is more than one policy, the product will check the policies in order from the top
O
of the display ("Group Policy 1") and initiate a network connection when it finds a
matching policy.
Because the product checks the policies in order from the top, more restrictive policies
O
should precede the more general policies on which they are based.
