System Administration
Warning!!! DO NOT disconnect the power or the Ethernet cable during
this upgrading process. Doing so may cause upgrade failure and destroy the
image in memory.
The Console Server will automatically initiate a self-reboot upon completion of
the upgrade process to activate the new firmware. Once the counter expires, the
browser will redirect you to the log-in home page. You can refer to the "System
Status" page to check the firmware version and confirm the upgrade operation.

SSL Certificate

An SSL certificate is a digital identification that contains information to attest that
the certificate belongs to a specific person, organization, server, or other entity
noted in the certificate. The Console Server supports secure HTTP (aka https)
to make configuration change via web page. The server-side SSL certificate
identifies the Console Server so that you can rely on the certificate and make the
configuration change confidently.
The Console Server is capable of uploading customized certificate files to the
web server. The certificate file suite includes three files (cacert.pem, cakey.
pem, and server.pem). All three certificate files shall be uploaded to complete
certificate upgrade. The file-upload interface is similar to the firmware upgrade.

System Administration
Once all certificate files are uploaded, users shall initiate a reboot command
manually to make the new certificate effective.
Browse prepared CA files (follow the procedure in Appendix E to prepare
correctly the three CA files with the same assigned file names), and upload these
files to the Console Server. Please double-check each file before uploading. A
false CA file suite may disable secure HTTP function.
Note:
• I f CA files are damaged, users can roll back the CA files to the factory
default through "System > Reset to Factory Defaults". The old CA files will
be recovered.
• B ecause the length of the CA file path name is limited (256 characters),
it is recommended to put all your files under "C:\upgrade" for easy
administration.
• Appendix E details the way to create CA files from scratch.
Secure HTTP Certificate
A secure Console Server web service is launched by the browser's https
connection (service port 443). The browser will prompt you with a security alert
to notify you of the certificate. You must accept the certificate to start the secure
web service. Users can choose to "View Certificate" and justify whether the
connected web server is trustworthy.
