Re: All in one fax security

Hello,
The IT department I work for has a no modems policy, including no all in
one network printer/fax machines. Is it possible to secure these all in
one machines so they are safe on the network? Or is it a better idea to
not allow them?

Thanks,

SA

It seems like filling either the Ethernet jack and US
or the telephone jacks with epoxy would secure the device.

You want to prevent a computer from using the phone line via the all in
one, fill the phone jacks with epoxy.

You want to use the all in one as a fax machine, scanner and printer, fill
the USB and Ethernet jacks with epoxy.
