MGate MB3000 Modbus Gateway User Manual
Certificate
For the MGate self-signed certificate:
When we encounter the valid date of the certificate expired, we can regenerate the “MGate self-signed”
certificate through the following steps.
Step 1: Users should delete the SSL certificate file originated from the MGate device.
Step 2: Then, enable the NTP server by setting up the time zone and local time.
Step 3: After restarting the device, the “MGate self-signed” certificate will be regenerated with the
updated valid time.
For importing the third-party trusted SSL certificate:
By importing the third-party trusted SSL certificate, the security level can be enhanced. A snapshot of the
GUI for the web console is shown below. To generate the SSL certificate through the third party, here are
the steps:
Step 1: Step1: Create a certification authority (Root CA), such as Microsoft AD Certificate Service
(https://mizitechinfo.wordpress.com/2014/07/19/step-by-step-installing-certificate-authority-on-
windows-server-2012-r2/)
Step 2: Step 2: Find a tool to issue a “Certificate Signing Requests” file, where you can find it from third-
party CA companies, such as DigiCert (https://www.digicert.com/easy-csr/openssl.htm).
Step 3: Step3: Submit it to a public certification authority for signing the certificate.
Step 4: Step4. Import the certificate to the MGate Series. Please note that the MGate Series only accepts
“xxxx.pem” format.
NOTE
The maximum key length of the MGate devices supports 2,048 bits.
