    Security features Overview In today’s world there are many security threats to your network and the data that travels over it. Your Brother machine employs some of the latest network security and encryption protocols available today. These network features can be integrated into your overall network security plan to help protect your data and prevent unauthorized access to the machine.

  • Page 95: Security Protocols

    IPPS The printing protocol that the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP Version 1.0) uses SSL. SNMPv3 The Simple Network Management Protocol version 3 (SNMPv3) provides user authentication and data encryption to manage network devices securely. Security methods for E-mail notification The Brother print server supports the following security methods for E-mail notification.
