Network Protection

Network Protection refers to the features and utilities that touch the overall network infrastructure,

and/or allow IT personnel to make global changes to all connected devices in a single operation. Much

of this capability is enabled through Web Image Monitor and SmartDeviceMonitor, the two installation

and monitoring utilities that ship standard with every Ricoh Aficio device. Much of the functionality of

these utilities is covered in the Ricoh Aficio Common Features Guide: Solution Selection Guide. However,

their security-related features are reviewed here.

Web Image Monitor

Web Image Monitor is firmware built into the

controller of every Ricoh device that enables all

settings to be managed via a typical web browser,

i.e. Internet Explorer, by simply inputting the

machine's IP address as the URL. Users and admin-

istrators can browse the current machine status, job

queues and error histories, and monitor paper and

supply levels, on- or off-line status, etc. Web Image

Monitor controls one device at a time. Security-

related features of Web Image Monitor include:

■

Set IP Address Range (IP Filtering): System

administrators can restrict authorized connec-

tions to the print controller from those hosts

whose IP addresses fall into a particular IP range. In this way the administrator can block depart-

ments from using a specific device, or restrict users from sending scanned files to competitors, for

example. Commands or jobs sent from non-authorized IP addresses are simply ignored by the print

controller. (See IP Address Filtering.)

■

Network Protocol Security: The system administrator can enable or disable IP protocols, thus

controlling the different network services provided by the print controller to an individual user, such

as TCP/IP or FTP. (See Network Protocol ON/OFF.)

SmartDeviceMonitor/Web SmartDeviceMonitor

SmartDeviceMonitor and its web-based companion

utility, Web SmartDeviceMonitor are more advanced

utilities for managing multiple devices simultaneously

on a network. SmartDeviceMonitor now allows

administrators the ability to change and download

driver default settings, see information regarding

attached options, and more. SmartDeviceMonitor can

also provide limited information about other vendors'

devices so that IT managers can use a single utility to

monitor all printing devices on the network. A "lite"

version intended for end-users, SmartDeviceMonitor for

Client, is installed on client desktops and allows users

to view the status and availability of networked Ricoh peripherals. Security-related features of

SmartDeviceMonitor include:
