bizhub C360/C280/C220 Security BUILT-IN AUTHENTICATION FUNCTION The bizhub has a user registration and authentication function built into the MFP unit. This makes it easy for the Administrator to permit or restrict individual employee use of bizhub functions, such as User Box, Scan, Copy, Print and Fax functions. NDS AUTHENTICATION OVER TCP/IP NDS Authentication is a method of validating a user via an authentication method that is based on a specified server. The user enters their user name and password for NDS (Novell Directory Services) running on NetWare 5.1 or later in order to validate themselves as an authorized user and gain access to the device. On previous bizhub mid-range color products NDS authentication was only supported via the IPX/SPX protocol, which is an older technology. With the bizhub C360/C280/C220, NDS Authentication is supported over the TCP/ IP protocol, a more popular and widely used network protocol. With NDS Authentication over TCP/IP, the IP Address of the NDS authentication server is obtained from the DNS Server. IEEE 802.1X SUPPORT For secure network communications, this function allows these devices to authenticate to a secure LAN. IEEE 802.1X Support is a standard used for User Authentication on a local area network (LAN). It is typically regarded as a standard for User Authentication on IEEE 802.11b and other wireless LAN networks, but the standard itself also supports regular cabled LAN connections. IEEE 802.1X shuts off all communication, except for authorized requests, from unauthorized clients and only allows authorized users to connect. It can also be configured to check authentication periodically to prevent other users from seizing communication ports. Previous bizhub mid-range color MFPs were not able to connect to secure networks, however, with the introduction of the bizhub C652 and C552 and now the C360/C280/C220 comes a client module supporting IEEE 802.1X authentication to enable such connections. Although IEEE 802.1X is associated with wireless functionality, the main objective is to enable secure network connections with the bizhub C360/C280/C220. Please note that it is possible to connect these devices to a wireless LAN by connecting a wireless access point to the wired LAN port. 169

BUILT-IN AUTHENTICATION FUNCTION
The bizhub has a user registration and authentication function built into
the MFP unit. This makes it easy for the Administrator to permit or restrict
individual employee use of bizhub functions, such as User Box, Scan, Copy,
Print and Fax functions.
NDS AUTHENTICATION OVER TCP/IP
NDS Authentication is a method of validating a user via an authentication method
that is based on a specified server.
The user enters their user name and password
for NDS (Novell Directory Services) running on NetWare 5.1 or later in order
to validate themselves as an authorized user and gain access to the device.
On previous bizhub mid-range color products NDS authentication was only
supported via the IPX/SPX protocol, which is an older technology. With the
bizhub C360/C280/C220, NDS Authentication is supported over the TCP/
IP protocol, a more popular and widely used network protocol. With NDS
Authentication over TCP/IP, the IP Address of the NDS authentication server
is obtained from the DNS Server.
IEEE 802.1X SUPPORT
For secure network communications, this function allows these devices
to authenticate to a secure LAN. IEEE 802.1X Support is a standard used
for User Authentication on a local area network (LAN).
It is typically regarded
as a standard for User Authentication on IEEE 802.11b and other wireless LAN
networks, but the standard itself also supports regular cabled LAN connections.
IEEE 802.1X shuts off all communication, except for authorized requests, from
unauthorized clients and only allows authorized users to connect.
It can also
be configured to check authentication periodically to prevent other users from
seizing communication ports.
Previous bizhub mid-range color MFPs were not able to connect to secure
networks, however, with the introduction of the bizhub C652 and C552
and now the
C360/C280/C220 comes a client module supporting IEEE 802.1X
authentication to enable such connections.
Although IEEE 802.1X is associated
with wireless functionality, the main objective is to enable secure network
connections with the bizhub C360/C280/C220. Please note that it is possible
to connect these devices to a wireless LAN by connecting a wireless access
point to the wired LAN port.
