HTTPs details

HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is the secure version of HTTP, the protocol used for communication between a web browser or application and a web server or device. HTTPS adds a layer of encryption using TLS (Transport Layer Security), which protects the data transmitted over the network.

Why Use HTTPs with NETIO Power Devices?
NETIO devices often operate in environments where they are remotely controlled or monitored, sometimes even over public or shared networks. Using HTTPS ensures that communication between your application and the NETIO device remains private and secure, even if someone intercepts the network traffic.

How to enable HTTPs on NETIO Device
All NETIO devices running on FW 5.0.X can be configure the way to support HTTPs communication. HTTPs option is available via Setting/ Security. Port 443 is pre-defined, but can be changed. HTTPs configuration port is shared to the port at M2M API Machine protocols setup NETIO devices support HTTPs using a self-signed certificate by default. This allows you to use secure connections immediately, even in isolated or internal networks. For production environments or public access, it is recommended to upload a certificate from a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). This ensures proper validation and avoids browser or client warnings.
