HTTPS
Use of HTTPS requires the creation of a certificate on the cellular modem and installation of the
certificate on the TopView machine.
IP Address or DNS/host name for the certificate?
The certificate will be created for the modem's IP address or DNS name.
Most users will access the modem by it's assigned static IP address and will create the certificate for the
modem using the IP address. If you or your IT group created a DNS name for the modem's IP address
and are required to use this name, you should create the certificate using the DNS name and not the IP
address. This is specified in the "Common name" field below.
*If you create the certificate for the DNS name you must use this name, and not the IP address, when
configuring access to the modem from TopView.
