3.5.1.1 Pairing with shutdown agents
Authentication and encryption of connections between the UPS network module and shutdown agents is based on matching
certificates. Automated pairing of shutdown agents and UPS network modules is recommended in case the installation is done
manually in a secure and trusted network, and when certificates cannot be created in other ways.
During the selected timeframe, new agent connections to the Network Module are automatically trusted and accepted.
After automatic acceptance, make sure that all listed agents belong to your infrastructure. If not, access may be revoked using the
Delete button.
For maximum security, Eaton recommend following one of the two methods on the certificate settings page:
Import client certificates manually.
Generate trusted certificate for both clients and Network Module using your own PKI.
