Using Certificates for device security

Your Brother machine supports the use of multiple security certificates allowing secure management, authentication and communication with the machine. The following security certificate features can be used with the machine.

SSL/TLS communication

IEEE 802.1x authentication

SSL communication for SMTP/POP3

The Brother machine supports the following certificates.

Pre-installed certificate

Your machine has a pre-installed certificate.

Using this certificate, you can easily use the SSL/TLS communication without creating or installing a certificate.

Self-signed certificate

This print server issues its own certificate. Using this certificate, you can easily use the SSL/TLS communication without having a certificate from a CA. (See Creating and installing a certificate uu page 69.)
