When you use SSL connection for the first time
When you use SSL connection only with the SSL
function On, you cannot access the unit if the SSL
function does not work properly.
In this case, you must reset the unit to the factory
settings. (All settings will be initialized.)
To avoid this, check that SSL connection is possible by
performing the following steps.
1
Set the SSL function to On, and select Allow
HTTP connection for some clients.
2
Click OK to close the main viewer and the setting
window.
3
Display the main viewer via SSL connection.
Refer to “Using the SSL function” on page 15 for
connection.
4
After checking that SSL connection is possible,
cancel Allow HTTP connection for some clients
selected in step 1.
Even if the setting window or the browser is closed as
SSL connection is impossible, http connection will be
possible if Allow HTTP connection for some clients is
selected. First check the setting contents of SSL tab in
http connection, then check the SSL connection again.
If Allow HTTP connection for some clients is not
selected, you will not be able to access the unit if SSL
connection becomes impossible. In this case, turn on the
power while pressing the reset switch on the unit to
initialize. For details, refer to the supplied Installation
Manual.
Note
SSL connection places additional burden on the unit;
therefore, not all images may be downloaded, and the
mark may appear when the camera accesses the
setting window from the browser. In this case, reload the
window. Press the F5 key on the keyboard to reload.
Certificate options
Select an installation mode of the certificate.
Use an external certificate: Uses the certificate
including private key information issued by a CA.
The PKCS#12 and PEM formats are supported.
Note
Even if the SSL function is set to On, it is not active in
the following cases:
When Use an external certificate is selected in
“Certificate options,” and also when the certificate and
the private key password are not set properly.
