PreventingUnauthorizedAccess 1469-07C This section describes the security measures on how to prevent unauthorized access from the external network. This is a must-read for all users and administrators before using this machine, other printers, and multifunction machinesconnected to the network. In recent years, a printer/multifunction machine connected to the network can offer you a variety of useful functions, such as printing from a computer, operating from a computer using the remote function, and sending scanned documents via the Internet. On the other hand, it is essential to take security measures to reduce the security risk for information leakage, as a printer/multifunction machine has become more exposed to threats, such as unauthorized access and theft, when it is connected to the network. This section explains necessary settings you need to specify to prevent unauthorized access before using a printer/multifunction machine connected to the network.

A "global IP address" is used for the communication connecting to the Internet, and a "private IP address" is used for the communication within a local area network, such as a LAN in the company. If a global IP address is assigned, your printer/ multifunction machine is open to the public and can be accessed via the Internet. Thus, the risk of information leakage due to unauthorized access from external network increases. On the other hand, if a private IP address is assigned, your printer/multifunction machine is closed to a local area network and can be accessed by only users on your localarea network, such as a LAN in the company. GlobalIPAddress Can be accessed from the external networkPrivateIPAddress Can be accessed from the users within a local area network Basically, assign a private IP address to your printer/multifunction machine. Make sure to con4rm the IP address, assigned to the printer/multifunction machine you are using, is a private IP address or not. A private IP address is found in one of the following ranges. RangesforPrivateIPaddresses From 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 From 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 From 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 For information on how to con4rm the IP address, see SettingIPv4Address(P.337) . If a global IP address is assigned to a printer/multifunction machine, you can create a network environment to reduce the risk of unauthorized access by installing security software, such as a 4rewall that preventsSecurity 394
access from the external networks. If you want to assign a global IP address to and use a printer/multifunction machine, contact your network administrator. Using Firewall to Restrict Transmission A 4rewall is a system that prevents unauthorized access from the external networks and protects against attacks/ intrusions to a local area network. You can use a 4rewall on your network environment to block access from the external network that appears to be dangerous, by restricting communication from speci4ed IP address of the external network. The function installed to a Canon printer/multifunction machine enables you to set up the IP address 4lter. For information on how to set up an IP address 4lter, see SpecifyingIPAddressesforFirewall Rules(P.402) . Specifying the TLS Encrypted Communication For information on the TLS Encrypted Communication, see ImplementingRobustSecurityFeatures(P.425) , and on the procedures to specify, see EnablingTLSEncryptedCommunicationfortheRemoteUI(P.426) . Setting PIN to Manage Information Stored in the Multifunction Machine If a malicious third party attempts to gain unauthorized access to a printer/multifunction machine, setting PIN to information stored in the machine will reduce the risk of information leakage. Canon printer/multifunction machine enables you to protect various type of information by setting PIN. SettingPINtoEachFunction Setting PIN for Using Remote UI For more information, see SettingaRemoteUIPIN(P.399) . Setting PIN for the System Manager Settings For more information, see SettingtheSystemManagerPIN(P.397) . Address Book PIN For more information on setting a PIN, see SettingaPINforAddressBook(P.415) . Listed above are some examples of security measures for preventing unauthorized access. For more information on the other security measures, see Security(P.392) and take necessary security measures for preventing unauthorized access to suit your environment. Security 395
SettingAccessPrivileges 1469-07E Protect the machine from unauthorized access by only allowing users with access privileges to use the machine. When privileges are set, the user must enter a PIN to change settings or access the Remote UI. Access privileges are divided into two types: System Manager Mode and General User Mode. System Manager Modehas full access privileges, and a System Manager PIN can be set to restrict logon in this mode. And by setting a Remote UI Access PIN, you can restrict use of the Remote UI in General User Mode and in System Manager Mode without a System Manager PIN set. SystemManagerPIN System Manager PIN is intended exclusively for Administrators having full access privileges. If you specify thisPIN, you need to log on to the machine using this PIN in order to access or .

RestrictingCommunicationbyUsingFirewalls 1469-07J Without proper security, unauthorized third parties can access computers and other communication devices that are connected to a network. To prevent this unauthorized access, specify the settings for packet 4lter, a feature that restricts communication to devices with speci4ed IP addresses or MAC addresses. Security 401
SpecifyingIPAddressesforFirewallRules 1469-07K You can either limit communication to only devices with speci4ed IP addresses, or block devices with speci4ed IP addresses but permit other communications. You can specify a single IP address or a range of IP addresses. Up to 4 IP addresses (or ranges of IP addresses) can be speci4ed for both IPv4 and IPv6. The packet 4lters described in this section control communications over TCP, UDP, and ICMP. 1StarttheRemoteUIandlogoninSystemManagerMode.StartingRemote UI(P.450)2Click[Settings/[email protected][SecuritySettings@[IPAddress[email protected][Edit@forthe 4ltertypethatyouwanttouse.Security 402
