USER’S GUIDE

®

Creating and uploading a server certificate in advance reduces the time required to enable HTTPS (SSL/TLS). If no server certificate is loaded when you enable HTTPS (SSL/ TLS), the Battery Management System creates one when it reboots. The Battery Management System can take up to 5 minutes to create this certificate, and the SSL/TLS server is not available during that time.

•Display the configured parameters of a digital server certificate, if one is installed.
