(1) [Generate Certificate Signing Request] - Click [Exec] to create server private key and a self certification authority private key to generate a certificate signing request. Once processed, the certificate signing request will appear in a separate window.

To install an intermediate certificate and a primary intermediate certificate, use a text editor or similar software to place them in the same file and install them as an intermediate certificate.

(5) [Delete Certificate] - Click [Exec] to delete the certificate. However, if SSL communications are enabled, the certificate cannot be deleted. Set [SSL Communications] to [Disable] before deleting a certificate. The deletion will take effect after rebooting.

(7) [Self CA Certificate] - Used for the purpose of testing SSL communications, but otherwise not normally used.

(8) [Backup] - Click [Exec] to perform a backup of the certificates and private key. This operation can only be performed via SSL communications.

Note

Õ It may take a few minutes to generate an SSL key.

Õ If SSL communications are used, video transmission performance drops.

Õ Depending on the type of the certificate being installed on the camera, a dialog box may appear indicating that the web browser has accepted the certificate and a connection can be made.

If the dialog box does not appear, register the CA certificate in the web browser.
