Only a certificate issued with your machine's Certificate Signing Request (CSR) can be installed on your
machine. When you want to create another CSR, make sure that the certificate is installed before creating the
new CSR. Create another CSR only after installing the certificate on the machine, otherwise the CSR created
before installing the new CSR will be invalid.

2. Type "https://machine's IP address" in your browser's address bar (where "machine's IP address" is your
machine's IP address).

• If you are using a Domain Name System or enable a NetBIOS name, you can type another name, such
as "SharedPrinter" instead of the IP address.

For example: https://brn123456abcdef
• The NetBIOS name can be found in the Network Configuration Report.
