15.2.1 HTTPS Example
If you haven’t changed the default HTTPS port on the LAN-Cell, then in your browser enter
“https://LAN-Cell IP Address/” as the web site address where “LAN-Cell IP Address” is the
IP address or domain name of the LAN-Cell you wish to access.
15.2.1.1 Internet Explorer Warning Messages
When you attempt to access the LAN-Cell HTTPS server, a Windows dialog box pops up
asking if you trust the server certificate. Click View Certificate if you want to verify that the
certificate is from the LAN-Cell.
You see the following Security Alert screen in Internet Explorer. Select Ye s to proceed to the
web configurator login screen; if you select No, then web configurator access is blocked.
Other web browsers present similar Security Alerts when first accessing the LAN-Cell’s
HTTPS server.

15.2.1.2 Avoiding the Browser Warning Messages
The following describes the main reasons that your browser displays warnings about the LAN-
Cell’s HTTPS server certificate and what you can do to avoid seeing the warnings.
• The issuing certificate authority of the LAN-Cell’s HTTPS server certificate is not one of
the browser’s trusted certificate authorities. The issuing certificate authority of the LAN-
Cell's factory default certificate is the LAN-Cell itself since the certificate is a self-signed
certificate.
• For the browser to trust a self-signed certificate, import the self-signed certificate into
your operating system as a trusted certificate.
• To have the browser trust the certificates issued by a certificate authority, import the
certificate authority’s certificate into your operating system as a trusted certificate.
