Replacing Device Certificate

The device is supplied with a working Transport Layer Security (TLS) configuration
consisting of a unique self-signed server certificate. If an organizational Public Key
Infrastructure (PKI) is used, you may wish to replace this certificate with one provided by
your security administrator.

To replace the device's certificate:
1. Your network administrator should allocate a unique DNS name for the device (e.g.,
dns_name.corp.customer.com). This DNS name is used to access the device and
therefore, must be listed in the server certificate.
2. If the device is operating in HTTPS mode, then set the 'Secured Web Connection
(HTTPS)' field (HTTPSOnly) to HTTP and HTTPS (see 'Configuring Web Security
Settings' on page 69). This ensures that you have a method for accessing the device
in case the new certificate does not work. Restore the previous setting after testing the
configuration.
Version 6.4
The device is shipped with a working TLS configuration. Therefore, configure
certificates only if required.
