Adding and connecting a sensor using the sensor web interface
When adding a sensor, a configuration package containing a certificate and configuration data for the sensor is generated on the Server. The added sensor is connected by using the sensor web interface. The sensor web interface lets you download the configuration package and connect the sensor using the following methods:
Use a communication data package. When using this method, the configuration package is saved a file with password-protected certificate. This file is known as the communication data package. The communication data package must be securely delivered to a computer that can access the sensor computer over the network, and must then be downloaded on the sensor web interface page. After the communication data package is downloaded, the sensor is automatically connected to the Server on which this file was created.
Automatically over the network. This method lets you forward a configuration package over the network to the specified IP address of the sensor computer. The sensor processes the configuration package, uses it to generate a certificate signing request (CSR), and sends this request to the Server. After receiving the request, the Server web interface page displays the fingerprint of the received request as a sequence of characters. This same request fingerprint is also displayed on the sensor web interface page at the same time. You must make sure that these fingerprints are identical before completing the addition of the sensor.
