Secure Http; Importing A Web Server Certificate Using The Menus - Epson ELPWP20 User Manual

Secure HTTP

You can use the HTTPS protocol to increase security between the base unit and
a Web browser communicating with it. To do this, you create a server certificate,
install it on the base unit, and turn on the Secure HTTP setting in the base unit
menus to verify the reliability of the Web browser.
Network > Network Settings > Base Unit Control > Secure HTTP
s
Even if you do not install a server certificate, the base unit automatically
creates a self-signed certificate and allows communication. However, because
the self-signed certificate cannot verify reliability from a Web browser, you see a
warning about the server's reliability when you access the base unit from a Web
browser. This warning does not prevent communication.
