login to the ZW-REC using https:// followed by the ZW-REC IP address or hostname.
When encryption is enabled the ZW-REC is configured with a default SSL certificate that is not
issued by a Certificate Authority (CA). Most web browsers provide a warning page when
connecting to the ZW-REC indicating the SSL certificate is not issues by a trusted certificate
authority. This is normal and it is safe to procced.
