Enabling and Disabling Protocols

Specify whether to enable or disable the function for each protocol. By making this setting, you can specify which protocols are available and so prevent unauthorized access over the network. Network settings can be specified on the control panel or by using Web Image Monitor controlled from networked computers, telnet, Device Manager NX, or Remote Communication Gate S. (Web Image Monitor is a management tool installed on this machine to monitor this machine or configure settings for this machine by using a web browser.)

For specifying network settings by using telnet, see "Remote Maintenance Using telnet", Settings.
