❶ Change the port number if necessary.

The port number can be set from 1 to 65535; SSH uses port 22 as standard.
Note that if the port number is changed, the client must specify that port number to connect.

❷ By checking the "Enable keep-alive" checkbox, keepalive packets can be sent periodically to prevent SSH connections from timing out.

  Set the encryption method.

❶ Select "Recommended setting" or "Individual selection" as the encryption method to be used.

- If you selected "Recommended Settings," go to Step 5.

❷ If "Individual Selection" is selected, check the checkbox for the encryption method to be used.

  ［Click Settings.
