Certificate Information
A certificate for use with splash pages and the web interface is locally generated on the EL-
500. The information embedded in this certificate can be defined by the user. A new certificate
is automatically generated when the parameters describing the EL-500’s location are changed.
The specific location parameters to which the certificate is tied to are listed in the sections
below.
CLI
The information used in certificate generation can be set using the ‘organization’ parameters in
the ‘sys’ interface. These parameters are:
•
sys.organization.name –name of organization (must be enclosed in quotes if it contains
spaces)
•
sys.organization.city – city name (must be enclosed in quotes if it contains spaces)
•
sys.organization.state – state name
•
sys.organization.country – two-letter country abbreviation
Web GUI
The certificate information can be set via the web interface using the “Location” tab on the
“System Parameters” page (see Figure 29). Changing any of the Organization, City,
State/Province, or Country parameters will cause the certificate information to be recalculated.
9.9
Time Synchronization
An EL-500 can be configured to synchronize its internal clock with an external RFC-868-
compliant time server. The time synchronization will ensure that proper time stamps are
displayed for entries in the event logs that are available on the web GUI’s “Status” page.
CLI
The time synchronization server is set with the ‘time.rfc868.server’ in the ‘sys’ interface. The
example below shows how to set the time synchronization server.
>
use sys
sys>
set time.rfc858.server=”your.timeserver.here”
It is not possible to manually adjust the device time through the CLI. Please use the web GUI
to adjust it.
