Configuring FUJIFILM BI AIP 7 Devices

This manual was created based on FUJIFILM BI Apeos C5570 and should be applicable to most FUJIFILM BI Apeos MFDs that support AiP 7, although slight differences may occur.


Requirements

  1. The device has to support the Dispatcher Paragon Embedded Terminal. The list of compatible devices is available on the Partner Portal in the Hardware Compatibility List (HCL)

  2. If you are planning on using Elatec TWN4 reader, make sure the reader has Keyboard standard firmware.

General notes

  • During MFD configuration, MFD sometimes requires a reboot. When prompted for reboot, follow the instruction displayed either on web browser or on MFD operation panel.

General configuration

General settings

Login to MFD as a system administrator and go to the Device settings.

Machine Digital Certificate

The certificate is by default installed. It is not necessary to generate one unless otherwise, you want.

Go to System > Security > Certificate Settings

SSL/TLS

Go to System > Security > SSL/TLS settings

By default, Apeos has TLS 1.2 enabled. Apeos supports TLS1.3 as the image below, but Dispatcher Paragon does not support it yet.

If you want to use SafeQube 2, the Protocol version must be set to value "TLS 1.0 or Later" because of the limitations of SafeQube 2.

Make sure to keep Verify Remote Server Certificate disabled. Otherwise, users would get an error message when opening the Dispatcher Paragon application on the MFD panel due to an untrusted certificate.

To restrict access to walk-up functions by Dispatcher Paragon user access right setting, the setting below needs to be configured.

Go to Permissions > Permissions > Access Control and s et Device Control Panel Access to Locked.

By configuring this, the Dispatcher Paragon authentication screen becomes the home screen and the user needs to authenticate to access any functions.
