protecting the network. To prevent attacks by hackers the port can be moved
to another value. Users on the LAN would then have to specify the port
number in the URL, i.e., http//www.crestron.com:49153 where the value
after the colon indicates the Web port.
In most cases, the port numbers do not need to be changed.

2-Series SSL Configuration
This section describes the steps involved in enabling the 2-Series Web server for SSL
and obtaining a digital certificate from a Certificate Authority. The steps are
summarized as follows (each step is described in detail later):
•
Establish a serial connection to the 2-Series control system.
•
Enable SSL using a self-signed certificate.
•
Create an encryption public/private key pair and a certificate-signing request
(CSR) based on the public key.
•
Back up the private key.
•
Send the CSR to a Certificate Authority such as Thawte or Verisign, who will
verify the identity of the requestor and issue a signed certificate.
•
Install the CA-signed certificate and optionally, the root certificate, to the 2-
Series processor.
•
Enable SSL using the CA-signed certificate.
