Configuration Possibilities

Disabling Protocols To further increase security, you must disable protocols that are considered insecure;

•FTP (also used by AXIS ThinWizard, if FTP is disabled, AXIS ThinWizard can not function properly.)

•Telnet

•Auto-IP

•DHCP

•BOOTP

•Remote Config (used by AXIS NetPilot)

•SNMP Configuration (also used by AXIS ThinWizard. Note that if SNMP is disabled, AXIS ThinWizard can not function properly.)

To disable these protocols, go to Admin Security Settings Protocol

Settings Detailed View and mark the check boxes. Click OK to finish.

Only enabled protocols will be visible from this view!

To enable these protocols, select Admin Network Settings Detailed

View TCP/IP Network for FTP, Telnet, Auto-IP, DHCP and BOOTP.

Remote Config is enabled via Admin General Settings RConfig

Support.

Important:

To ensure maximum security, it is highly recommended that you change your Administrator password after generating a certificate and disabling insecure protocols! This is done from

Admin General Settings Change => General Root Password.

Overriding Port Status

Some USB printers do not deliver correct port status to the print server (for instance always reporting printer off-line even if the printer is on- line). If you set the Override Portstatus parameter to Yes, the print server will ignore the port status. To set this parameter, select Admin General Settings USB1 from the print server’s Web interface.
