wwNetwork Security

Security functions of the Center Module

1Limiting access with user authentication

Limits users who can access the Center Module.

2Limiting access by changing the HTTP port

Changing the HTTP port number prevents port scanning and other types of unauthorized access.

3Encrypting access with HTTPS

Using HTTPS enables encryption of access to the Center Module to increase the security of communications.

Important

ppAuthentication information (e.g. usernames, passwords), server information and other types of information can be leaked on the network. Take measures to prevent this from happening, such as limiting access by user authentication or encryption of access with HTTPS.

ppAlways close all browsers after accessing the Center Module to increase security. pp Change user IDs and passwords often to strengthen security.

Note

ppIf user authentication fails (authentication error) 8 or more times in 30 seconds from a PC with an identical IP address, access to the Center Module will be blocked temporarily.

ppIf 10 minutes or more passes without any operation, clicking on buttons will not perform the action intended, and instead will return to the post-authentication screen.
