Security - SSL/TLS Server Communication

This page allows you to set security on data sent and received by the scanner when the scanner uses HTTPS communication.
The data that are subject to security protection are scanned jobs and information exchanged between the scanner and web browsers.
These data will be encrypted using SSL/TLS communication.

The following settings will become valid after clicking the [Apply] button , and manually switching it off and then on again.

To access CentreWare Internet Services when data encryption is enabled, enter "https" before its address instead of "http".

Example of FQDN:
https://xxx.yyy.zz.vvv/
