Create a Self-signed Certificate

1. Start your web browser.
2. Type "https://machine's IP address" in your browser's address bar (where "machine's IP address" is the

machine's IP address).
For example:
https://192.168.1.2

If you are using a Domain Name System or enable a NetBIOS name, you can type another name, such
as "SharedPrinter" instead of the IP address.
-

For example:
https://SharedPrinter

If you enable a NetBIOS name, you can also use the node name.
-

For example:
https://brnxxxxxxxxxxxx

The NetBIOS name can be found in the Network Configuration Report.

For Mac, access Web Based Management by clicking the machine's icon on the
