Securing network connections 42 4 Turn off the printer, and then disconnect the Ethernet cable. Wait for at least five seconds, and then turn the printer back on. 5 Check if your printer is connected to the network. Print a network setup page, and then in the Network Card [x] section, see if the status is "Connected." For more information, see the "Verifying printer setup" section of the printer User's Guide. Configuring the TCP/IP port access setting You can control your network device activities by configuring your device to filter out traffic on specific network ports. Protocols (such as FTP, HTTP, and Telnet) can be disabled. Port filtering on devices disables network ports individually. When a port is closed, a device does not respond to traffic on the specified port whether or not the corresponding network application is enabled. We recommend closing any ports that you do not plan to use under standard operation by clearing them. This feature lets you set access settings on the different TCP/IP ports of the device. 1 From the Embedded Web Server, click Settings > Security > TCP/IP Port Access. 2 Click the check box of the TCP/IP port to change its access setting. 3 Click Submit. Setting the restricted server list Devices can be configured to allow connection only from a list of specified TCP/IP addresses. This action blocks all TCP connections from other addresses, protecting the device against unauthorized printing and configuring. 1 From the Embedded Web Server, click Settings > Network/Ports > TCP/IP. 2 In the Restricted Server List field, type up to 50 IP addresses, separated by commas, that are allowed to make TCP connections. 3 From the Restricted Server List Options menu, set the blocking option. 4 Click Submit.
