Matrox Extio 3 Series – User Guide 51
 The public certificate identifying the certificate authority (CA) used to sign the 802.1X
authentication server (for example, a server running a software supporting the RADIUS
protocol). This certificate is used by the device to verify the authenticity of the 802.1X
authentication server, preventing hostile attacks.
Enable the device for system log forwarding
To enable forwarding your system logs to a remote location (syslog server), you need to first
upload a certificate file to the device using the firmware updater.
The certificate file containing one or more
*.pem files must be named syslog-certificates.zip
and placed in the update package. The firmware updater will verify and deploy it to the right
location. When the certificate is deployed properly, in the
More options page of the receiver’s
settings in the Matrox Extio Central Manager application, the
System logging section
displays where you can set your preferred level of information to be included in the log files.
Note: Certificates that are linked to the DNS name of a device are supported. This allows
you to deploy the same certificate on multiple devices if the certificate uses a wild card. For
example,
*extio 3.matrox.com .
Note: To uninstall the certificates from the device, you need to do a configuration reset.
Note: You can get all the details that are required to be contained in the certificate file from
your IT department.
