Enabling Security and Creating an Administrator User
With security turned on, only administrator users can view or change settings on the px6-300d, including
creating or deleting users and Shares. When you create users, you limit access to your px6-300d 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 px6-300d 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.
When security is turned on, browser communications with the px6-300d are encrypted. Therefore,
each computer that attempts to access the px6-300d may encounter a security warning, which
can be safely ignored. In addition, you may be asked to accept a signed certificate for the px6-
300d , which you should accept. If you change the device name at a later date, these warnings
may appear again.
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.
5. Click Apply to save your changes.

until those features are also disabled.
1. On the Security page, click the switch off.
2. Disabling security will cause all defined users and groups to be deleted. Check the box to disable
security.
3. Click Apply to save your changes.
Security is disabled.
