SSL Settings

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol for managing the security of data transmission over the Internet. It provides encryption, authentication, and message integrity services. SSL is widely used for secure communication to a web server.

Certificate/Private key combinations can be obtained from an external Certificate Authority (CA) and downloaded into the unit. Self-signed certificates with associated private key can be generated by the device server itself.

For more information regarding Certificates and how to obtain them see Obtaining a Certificate and Private Key on page 138.

To configure the XPort Pro SSL settings:

1. Click SSL from the main menu. The SSL page appears.
