HTTPS Connections
When making a connection to the Vertex Edge HMI PC via HTTPS, it will be necessary to accept
the certificate. A message like the one using Google Chrome will be shown:
Tap on the Advanced button, and select “Proceed to <some IP> (unsafe).”
External Network Security Considerations
The Vertex Edge HMI PC is intended ONLY for connection to a private network – no connections
from the internet should be allowed. All services not explicitly named above are disabled and
filtered via the iptables rules. Access control is via users and roles defined in the security
configuration. By default, anyone can view system state information, but elevated permissions
are required for any configuration, control, or maintenance.
NOTE
Router with IPSec is recommended to secure Modbus TCP/IP communication in an
insecure network.
