Tip:
To display the IP address of your Quick Edition IP Telephone, press the # key on
the dialpad. The IP address is needed to specify which web page to view in your
web browser.
When you log in to the
User Options
login page, the system uses the Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) protocol to secure communications between the web browser on your computer and the
system. SSL encrypts the information that you enter when you log in before that information is
transmitted to the system. When the web browser connects to the one-X Quick Edition network,
SSL is used to verify the identity of your computer to the Telephone. As part of the exchange,
the Quick Edition IP Telephone generates and downloads a self-signed security certificate to
your computer.
Your Quick Edition IP Telephone uses a self-signed security certificate to authenticate itself to a
web browser whenever the web browser initiates a secure connection through SSL. When the
certificate is downloaded, two security messages are displayed in the web browser:
●
The first message informs you that a secure link is going to be set up through SSL. You
can select an option to suppress the display of this message.
●
The second message prompts you to accept and optionally install the Quick Edition IP
Telephone’s self-signed security certificate. If you do not accept the certificate, the
Telephone refuses the connection. When you accept the certificate, the
User Options
login page is displayed, and the credentials that you enter (the Quick Edition IP Telephone
extension number and user options password) are encrypted before the information is sent
to the system. If you choose to install the certificate, the prompt is not displayed again.
To access telephone and user options using a web browser
1. Start the web browser on your computer.
2. In the
Address
field, enter the IP address of your Telephone (for example, if your IP
address is 192.168.0.2, type
https://192.168.0.2
).
If you have not disabled the first security alert, the following message is displayed:
