window appears.

HTTPS encryption, enable the internal firewall and create firewall rules, and create login
limitations.

HTTPS is a more secure protocol than HTTP because it uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
technology to encrypt all traffic to and from the Revelation PDU. To require users to use HTTPS
instead of HTTP when accessing the Revelation PDU through the Web interface:
1. Select Device Settings, and then select Security. The Security Settings window appears. The
panel at the upper left is labeled HTTP Encryption.
