5. Prevent SSL warnings
Depending on the browser you use, you will receive a message like this when you open the web interface of
the Atlas:
This error can be ignored if you use Atlas in a trusted network
To continue, do the following:
•
In case of Chrome, click Advanced followed by Proceed to …
• In case of Internet Explorer, click
Continue to this website (not recommended
).
In case you really want to prevent this error from showing up, then please read the following explanation and
instruction.
The reason you receive this error is because Atlas uses HTTPS (SSL) which is an industry standard used to
encrypt connections between devices. A part of SSL is a server identity check. This check is performed by your
browser to make sure the Atlas is truly the Atlas it claims to be. Therefor every Atlas has a unique SSL
certificate containing four valid ways to contact your Atlas:
• https://192.168.0.10 (the default factory IP-address)
• https://192.168.1.10 (the default office IP-address)
• https://<serialnumber>.atlas (the first official name)
• https://atlas (the first second name)
Either make sure your Atlas is using one or both of the default IP-addresses or make sure that it’s accessible
using their hostname (
atlas or <serialnumber>.atlas ) by making these names known on your network or PC.
5.1 Making the Atlas accessible using one of its official names
There are three ways to do this:
• add it to your local DNS server
• add it to your WINS server (for Windows networks)
•
add it to your hosts file
Your network administrator can help you with this.
To verify that your Atlas is reachable using its name you can simply ping it by opening a command prompt and
run the command:
ping atlas or ping <serialnumber>.atlas in a command prompt.
