Configure network security
Pearl Mini supports 802.1x network security. You can choose the authentication method, upload user certificates and private key, as well as manage signed CA certificates using the Admin panel. You can also configure your Pearl device to use HTTPS.
Topics include:
- Configure 802.1x network security and manage user certificates
- Manage CA and self-signed certificates
- Configure HTTPS
For higher security, we recommend setting admin, operator and viewer-level passwords on the Pearl device, see Change user passwords
-
Login to the Admin panel as admin.
-
From the Configuration menu, select Security.
-
Under Management and API access configuration, select one of the available connected network interfaces.
-
Switching to a different network interface for web configuration will make the web interface inaccessible on the current interface. If choosing a USB Ethernet adapter, ensure it is supported, connected and properly configured. Failing to follow this guidelines may result the web interface may become inaccessible requiring a factory reset of your Pearl. Please note that the channel preview URLs will be accessible on both network interfaces regardless of which interface was selected for Management and API access.
