STEP 5: Connect to VesseLINK
™
portal to configure system.
NOTE
Thales uses a self-signed certificate for encryption between the
terminal and the browser when viewing the Management Portal
(https://portal.thaleslink). A self-signed certificate is a security
certificate that is not signed by a certificate authority (CA). As
such, a user will experience a warning in their browser before
the keys are exchanged. The warning is different between
browser types. Thales recommends you accept the risk posed by
the browser. The browser will use HTTPS without warning until
the key is either deleted or expires.
Reference Figure 3-7. There are a couple options to login to the Management Portal.
Option A: Via Wi-Fi.
