Installation Overview
To encrypt HTTP communications, configure the machine and your computer as follows:
 Configuration on the Machine
Configure a certificate on the machine. No certificate is registered on the machine by
factory default. Configure certificates for an SSL server as needed.
 Configuring certificates by CentreWare Internet Services
The following two methods are available depending on types of certificates.
- Create a self-signed certificate on the machine, and then enable HTTPS.
- Enable HTTPS, and then import a certificate issued by another CA to the machine.
 Configuration on the Computer
To encrypt communications between a web browser and the machine, enter an address
beginning with "https" instead of "http" into the address box of the web browser.
Step1 Configuration on the Machine
Configure a certificate on the machine. No certificate is registered to the machine by factory
default. Configure certificates for an SSL server as needed.
The following describes the procedures to set up a certificate by CentreWare Internet
Services.
Setting up a Certificate using CentreWare Internet Services
To set up a certificate using CentreWare Internet Services, you can have the machine create
a self-signed certificate for SSL server or can import any registered certificate (issued by
another CA) to the machine.
For information on how to import a registered certificate, click [Help] at the upper right corner of the CentreWare Internet

connect to the Internet. The communication fee shall be borne by you.
• When performing SSL communications using a self-signed certificate created on the machine, or a
certificate with which the character code is encoded with UTF-8, you will not be able to connect with
SSL if Internet Explorer is used with Mac OS X 10.2 or later.
This is because the operating system cannot recognize the character code (UTF-8) of the certificate.
Use Netscape 7 in the above-mentioned OS environments.
• You cannot import a certificate that has been already registered in [Local Device] or [Others]. Delete
the registered certificate before importing.
