6.1 Upload SSH keys
The first time a device is accessed via SSH by a host, its IP should be added to the known
hosts list as illustrated below. Then the password corresponding to the root user will be
asked (default password is ‘root’ as detailed in "Default Configuration" on page20).
ssh root@192.168.7.35
The authenticity of host ‘192.168.7.35 (192.168.7.35)’ can’t be estab-
lished. ECDSA key fingerprint is
SHA256:YgGTNfRPHYH4ekrJxDSHK7D7PiD+llHUy7dv+7460dSs.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? Yes
Warning: Permanently added ‘192.168.7.35’ (ECDSA) to the list of known
hosts.

This authentication procedure will only need to be confirmed the first time and will not be
asked in the later connections.

In order to improve security, it is strongly recommended to upload your public key to the
device instead of using a password. This can easily be done by running the command:
ssh-copy-id root@<device_ip>
This setting is also available in the Expert mode of the GUI under Security > Authentication
> SSH public key only (disable password). Choose Yes in the field, Save, and Reboot your
device to activate changes.
6.2 HTTPS
Hypertext Transfer Protocol over TLS (HTTPS) is the encapsulation of HTTP over a Trans-
port Layer Security (TLS) secured channel, which is the primary protocol used to send
data between a web browser and a website.
The WR-Z16 includes the possibility of activating HTTPS. This can be done from the web
interface by following the next steps:
