User Guide | Arcadia Central Station
Note: Some knowledge of certificate authorisation and HTTPS is needed when setting up a secure
connection between a PC hosting the Core Configuration Manager (CCM) and a Arcadia
Central Station.
Note: Each browser type (for example, Safari, Chrome, Edge, Firefox) uses its own method for
certificate management. These methods can change with time and is beyond the control of
Clear-Com. Please refer to the instructions supplied with your browser if you require more
information.
7.1 Secure HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTPS)
HTTPS is an adaptation of the HTTP protocol. It protects against an intermediary being able to
intercept data between devices, using data encruption and Public Key Cryptography to create a
secured channel.
7.2 Why use HTTPS with your Arcadia Central Station?
When using the CCM to establish your intercom setup, you might wish to protect your login
credentials and configuration details from unauthorized interference. In this case you will
establish an encrypted connection between the CCM and your Arcadia Central Station using
the Force HTTPS feature.
7.3 The Force HTTPS feature
The Arcadia Central Station uses port 80 (HTTP) and port 433 (HTTPS) for management. If you
wish to create a secured route for data between the CCM and the Arcadia Central Station you
must:
l
Install a security certificate
l
turn off port 80, forcing traffic to use port 433
This creates a certified and encryped connection between the Arcadia Central Station and the
PC accessing the CCM.
7.4 Warning
If you turn off port 80 without ensuring that you can reach the CCM using port 433 (test the
authorizing certificate), it is possible to get locked out of your CCM. If this happens, you must
reset the Arcadia Central Station from the front panel menus. This will remove all configuration,
including network details from your Arcadia Central Station. For this reason, the Force HTTPS
feature cannot be enabled until you have tested the secure connection.
