Install and Manage Security Certificates

Scroll Prev Top Next More

Tieline codecs support the installation of TLS/SSL (hereafter referred to as SSL) security certificates to deliver an additional layer of security when connecting to IP networks. The digital SSL security certificate authenticates the codec and provides more secure encrypted HTTPS browser connections. The codec supports installing a private key as well as an intermediate and SSL certificate.

 

This section outlines certificate installation, removal and updates. It also outlines how to change the default SSL Port. Note: A single partition FAT32 formatted SD card must be used. To safely remove an SD card after installing certificates, press the HOME home-icon button to return to the Home screen, then tap Settings Settings > System > Safe Eject Safe_eject.

Troubleshooting Certificate Installation
