You can use the HTTPS protocol to increase security between the base unit and
a We
b browser communicating with it. To do this, you create a server certicate,
install it on the base unit, and turn on the Secure HTTP setting in the base unit
menus to verify the reliability of the Web browser.
s Network > Network Settings > Base Unit Control > Secure HTTP
Even if you do not install a server certicate, the base unit automatically
creates a self-signed certicate and allows communication. However, because
the self-signed certicate cannot verify reliability from a Web browser, you see a
warning about the server's reliability when you access the base unit from a Web
browser. is warning does not prevent communication.
