SNMPv3 Encryption

This can be specified by the administrator.

When using SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin or another application to make various settings, you can encrypt the data transmitted. By making this setting, you can protect data from being tampered with. Specify the SNMPv3 encrypted communication mode using Web Image Monitor.

Log on to Web Image Monitor in the administrator mode.
Click [Configuration].
Click [Network Security] in "Security".
Click [Encryption Only] in the [Permit SNMPv3 Communication] area in the [SNMPv3] area, and then click [OK].
Quit Web Image Monitor.

To use SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin for encrypting the data for specifying settings, you need to specify the administrator's [Encryption Password] setting and [Encryption Key] in [SNMP Authentication Information] in SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin, in addition to specifying [Permit SNMPv3 Communication] on the printer.
If administrator's [Encryption Password] setting is not specified, the data for transmission may not be encrypted or sent.

For details about specifying [Encryption Key] in SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin, see the SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin Help.
