Enabling Security and Creating an Administrator User
With security turned on, only administrator users can view or change settings on the px2-300d,
including creating or deleting users and Shares. When you create users, you limit access to your px2-
300d to specific people, and when you secure Shares, you limit data access to specific users.
1.
On the Security page, click the switch on.
2.
When you turn security on, you will be asked to create an administrator user. Provide a
username and password, and then confirm your password.
3.
Encryption is always available when you access your px2-300d using https. By setting local
encryption, you enforce encryption on your local network. By setting remote encryption, you
enforce encryption outside your local network, such as through the internet. Choices for both
encryption types are Not required, Passwords only (passwords are encrypted through https),
and Always (encryption is always enforced). Always encrypting communication is safest, but
can impact performance.
Note:
When security is turned on, browser communications with the px2-300d are
encrypted. Therefore, each computer that attempts to access the px2-300d may encounter a
security warning, which can be safely ignored. In addition, you may be asked to accept a
signed certificate for the px2-300d, which you should accept. If you change the device name
at a later date, these warnings may appear again.
px2-300d administrators do not have access to all Shares by default. Access rights to Shares
must be granted explicitly to administrators, as with other users.
4.
If you have your own security certificate, you can load it by selecting
Use an imported
certificate
and browsing to the certificate to load it.

security until those features are also disabled.

disable security.
