Using TCP Socket

Setting flow

To use application that communicates with this machine via TCP Socket, configure the TCP Socket settings of this machine.

If a certificate for this machine is registered, you can encrypt communication between the machine and application using SSL.

To perform the association via TCP Socket, follow the below procedure to configure the settings.

  1. Configuring network settings of this machine ( [Network Settings] )

  2. Configuring basic settings for TCP Socket ( [Configuring the basic TCP Socket settings] )

  3. Configuring settings to suit your environment

Tips
  • If you installed user authentication using an external authentication server, SSL communication settings are required.

Configuring the basic TCP Socket settings

Configure settings to establish a communication via TCP Socket.

Select [Network] - [TCP Socket Setting] in administrator mode of Web Connection (or in [Utility] - [Administrator] of this machine), and configure the following settings.

Setting

Description

[TCP Socket]

When using TCP Socket, set this option to ON (default: ON).

  • [Port No.]: If necessary, change the TCP Socket port number (default: [59158]).

Tips
  • If you change multiple port numbers collectively in Web Connection or on the screen of this machine, a port number duplication error may appear. If a port number duplication error appears, change multiple port numbers one by one instead of changing them collectively.

Using SSL communication

Use SSL to encrypt communication between this machine and application via TCP Socket.

  1. Register a certificate for this machine and enable SSL communication ( [Using an SSL/TLS communication] ).

  2. Select [Network] - [TCP Socket Setting] in administrator mode of Web Connection (or in [Utility] - [Administrator] of this machine), and configure the following settings.

    Setting

    Description

    [Use SSL/TLS]

    When using SSL communications, set this option to ON (default: OFF).

    • [Port No.(SSL/TLS)]: If necessary, change the port number for SSL communication (default: [59159]).
