Cobalt Co9992-4ENC-4K-HEVC Software-Defined Broadcast Encoder - Manual (Page 123)

All common authentication functions are available in the Network top tab, Authentication
bottom tab. The relevant configuration items are shown in Figure 4.
The configuration items are as follows:

Web Interface Password: some web interface actions require a password. The
password is set here. If the password is lost simply set another one. The default
password is
Admin and it should be changed if this function is to be used.

Enable Web Config: Cobalt devices have streaming ports (usually in the openGear card
I/O panel). If a streaming port is directly connected to the Internet, it is insecure to have
the authentication web interface available on it, even with the password. This control
allows the user to enable or disable the web interface on specific Ethernet interfaces. The
number of interfaces presented here is device-dependent.
The Authentication tab has Apply/Cancel buttons at the bottom. Changes become effective
only after the Apply button is clicked.
If the web interface is enabled for a given network interface, the following links will be available
in the web page served from that interface:
Configuring the Local Credentials in the Device
As illustrated in Figure 1, the device needs a matched key/certificate pair to operate. The
device’s certificate is its identity, presented to remote devices when connecting. Using the
DashBoard interface, in the
Authentication tab, the device can be configured to use either its
built-in credentials, or credentials that have been uploaded by the user through the web interface.
This is shown in Figure 5.
Note that selecting “User-Supplied Key/Certificate” prior to actually uploading a Key/Certificate
will fail when the Apply button is clicked. Use the web interface to upload the files.
