Instructions : SMBv3 Extended Functions setting

  • Setting in [Device Management] > [Configuration] > [Network] > [SMB] > [SMBv3 Extended Functions] on Web Image Monitor.
  • Set [SMBv3 Extended Functions] to [Active] to enable authentication level setting, sending data to a folder in an encrypted server, and transmission via SMBv3.0.2 and SMBv3.1.1.
  • In advance, activate [SMBv2/SMBv3] in [SMB].

Instructions : Authentication level setting

  • Configure this in [Device Management] > [Configuration] > [Network] > [SMB ] > [Advanced Settings ] > [Authentication Level] using Web Image Monitor.
  • When [Level 4: Kerberos Authentication] is selected, you can send scanned data to a computer that belongs to the domain and whose computer name is 15 characters or less.

1  Kerberos Authentication in Scan to Folder

Authentication level for SMB data transmission can be selected on the Web Image Monitor. You can specify Level 4 Kerberos Authentication.

 

2  SMB encryption by file server

You can use SMB data transmission to an encrypted file server. You can encrypt on per file server basis.

 

3  SMBv3.1.1 for Windows Authentication

You can use SMB3.1.1 for Windows Authentication and data transmission.

 

Security V2.0 update

1 End-to-end print encryption

To protect data from malicious attack and ensure end-to-end security, print data can now be encrypted using TLSv1.3.

Eliminating the need to change/reinstate security settings manually at multiple individual devices, system administrators can now apply a remote global change to the following settings: user login, password and SNMP v3 account.

 

5 Batch change network protocols

Eliminating the need to change network protocol settings manually at multiple devices, system administrators can now apply a remote global change to the following settings: encryption strength; WSD (Encrypted Communication of Device) IPv4, NetBIOS over TCP/IPv4, Enable IPP Port 80 IPv4, IPP Port 80 IPv6, WSD (printer) IPv6, WSD (Scanner) IPv6, IPP (Port 631) IPv6, Permit SNMPv3 Communication, IPv4 and IPv6.
