Method 2: Create and Install Certificate
Step 1

Step 5
Look for a trusted certificate authority, such as Symantec VeriSign Authentication Services, that issues
digital certificates. Sign in and purchase the SSL certification service. Copy the certificate request from
your request prompt and paste it in the signing request window of the CA. Proceed with the rest of the
process as CA instructions on their web page.
Step 6
Once completed, your SSL certificate should be delivered to you via an email or other means. Copy the
contents of the certificate in the email and paste it in a text/HTML/hex editor/converter, such as IDM
Computer Solution UltraEdit.
Step 7
Open a new edit, paste the certificate contents, and press
ENTER
at the end of the contents to add an
empty line.

Return to the original firmware session, use the Browse button to locate the crt certificate file, and click
Upload to enable the certification.
Step 11
When the certificate file is successfully loaded, its status will be stated as Active. A certificate must have
been created and installed before you can click on the
Save
button for the configuration to take effect.
