To login to the B060-032-8 Administrator Utility:

Enter the IP address that you have just set up (http://192.168.1.xxx) for the B060-032-8 in the address bar of a Web browser and press ENTER. Note: If you do not know the IP address of the B060-032-8, ask your network administrator.

When you try to login to the B060-032-8 from your Web browser, a Security Alert message appears to inform you that the device’s certificate is not trusted, and asks if you want to proceed (Figure 2). The certificate can be trusted, but the alert is triggered because the certificate’s name is not found on Microsoft’s list of Trusted Authorities. You have two options:

(a)Ignore the warning and click Yes to go on. If you are working on a computer at another location, accept the certificate for just this session by clicking Yes.

(b)Install the certificate and have it be recognized as trusted. If you are working at your own computer, install the certificate on your computer (see next section). After the certificate is installed, it will be recognized as trusted.

To install the Security Certificate:

In the Security Alert dialog box, click View Certificate. The Certificate dialog box appears. Note: Upon opening the certificate, you will notice there is a red and white X logo over the certificate to indicate that it is not trusted.

Click Install Certificate.

Follow the Installation Wizard to complete the installation. Unless you have a specific reason to choose otherwise, accept the default options. The Wizard presents a caution screen to inform you that you are about to install a certificate from an outside authority.

Click Yes.

Click Finish to complete the installation. Click OK to close the dialog box.

The certificate is now trusted (Figure 3).

When you click View Certificate, the red and white X logo will no longer be present—further indication that the certificate is trusted.

Enter your username and password (default is ADMIN, ADMIN). The B060-032-8 Administrator Utility Main Web Page appears.
