Access via HTTPS Protocol
The web interface also allows a secure configuration using the HTTPS
protocol. The HTTPS protocol allows an authentication of the server (i.t. the
EBW-E100) as well as an encryption of the data transmission.
in case of a first access via the HTTPS protocol, the browser indicates that the
EBW-E100 uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted,
because the CA (certification authority) certificate is unknown.
You can ignore this warning and (depending on browser and operating
system) add an exception for this server or establish the secure connection to
this server nevertheless.
We recommend to download the CA certificate CA_MoRoS.crt from the
certificate page (http://www.insys-icom.com/certificate/) and import it into
your browser, to approve INSYS MICROELECTRONICS as certification
authority. Proceed for this as described in the documentation of your browser.
If INSYS MICROELECTRONICS is stored as certification authority in your
browser and you access the device again via the HTTPS protocol, the browser
indicates again that an invalid security certificate is used. The certificate is not
trusted, because the Common Name of the certificate differs from your input
in the address bar of the browser. The browser indicates that a different
device answers under this URL. The Common Name of the certificate consists
of the MAC address of the EBW-E100, where the colons are replaced by
underscores.
You can ignore this warning and (depending on browser and operating
system) add an exception for this server or establish the secure connection to
this server nevertheless.
In order to avoid this browser warning as well, you must enter the Common
Name of the EBW-E100 to be accessed into the address bar of your browser.
The Common Name must be connected with the IP address of the device that
the URL leads to the correct device. You can find out the general name
(Common Name) by downloading and viewing the certificate from the device.
The proceeding for this depends on your browser. The proceeding for setting
up the link depends on your operating system.
