Configuring IP security settings Apply IPSec between the device and the workstation or server to secure traffic between the systems with a strong encryption. The devices support IPSec with preshared keys and certificates. Both modes can be used simultaneously. In preshared key mode, devices are configured to establish a secure IPSec connection with up to five other systems. Devices and the systems are configured with a pass phrase that is used to authenticate the systems and to encrypt the data. In certificate mode, devices are configured to establish a secure IPSec connection with up to five systems or subnets. Devices exchange data securely with a large number of systems, and the process is integrated with a PKI or CA infrastructure. Certificates provide a robust and scalable solution, without configuring or managing keys and pass phrases. 1 From the Embedded Web Server, click Settings > Network/Ports > IPSec. 2 Configure the following settings: Setting IPSec Enable On* Off * This is the factory default setting.

Configuring IP security settings
Apply IPSec between the device and the workstation or server to secure traffic between the systems with a
strong encryption. The devices support IPSec with preshared keys and certificates. Both modes can be used
simultaneously.
In preshared key mode, devices are configured to establish a secure IPSec connection with up to five other
systems. Devices and the systems are configured with a pass phrase that is used to authenticate the systems
and to encrypt the data.
In certificate mode, devices are configured to establish a secure IPSec connection with up to five systems or
subnets. Devices exchange data securely with a large number of systems, and the process is integrated with
a PKI or CA infrastructure. Certificates provide a robust and scalable solution, without configuring or managing
