How to Set Up an HTTPS Connection between a Browser and an LQ Unit

Install a security certificate on your browser

  1. Choose a security certificate. See Certification Authority (CA) options for use with LQ units in this chapter for more information.
  2. Open the CCM of your LQ unit.
  3. Navigate to Device>Network>Security.
  4. Install the certificate. The three certificate options are covered below, choose a., b., or c.
    1. A certificate of your own choosing:
    2. The EasyDNS certificate:
    3. The Clear-Com self-signed (default) certificate:
  5. Test the certificate by typing the HTTPS IP address into your browser URL field in the format: HTTPS:// XX.XX.XX.XX : If you see the green 'secure' symbol and the browser does not issue an exception, the certificate is working.
Note: When using your own certificate or the EasyDNS certificate, the LQ unit must first be registered with a DNS server. If required, your network administration department should provide advice on this. When using the Clear-Com default certificate, the device does not need to be registered with a DNS server. The Clear-Com default certificate can be used with a set up that does not have Internet access.
Note: Different browsers (for instance, Chrome, Firefox) have different methods for handling certification. This is beyond the control of Clear-Com. You may need to refer to the instructions that come with your browser for this.

Enable the Force HTTPS feature on your LQ unit

  1. Navigate to the Security section in the Networking page.
  2. Enable the Force HTTPS feature. Click Apply Changes.
  3. If you are working with a Link-Group, enable the Force HTTPS feature on each device in the Link-Group.
