Configuring the platform/station’s network connection

Establishing the connection between the controller platform/station and the local area network involves configuring the port and connection security.

Prerequisites: You made a browser connection to the controller and are using the web UI.

To access connections, click Controller Setup > Remote Devices > Station Manager, and click the settings icon ().
The Settings window opens.
Configure the station’s Fox Port or Foxs Port based on whether or not the configuration requires security and fox streaming.
If your configuration uses fox streaming for video, this port (Fox or Foxs) should be different from the port used to connect a video device (camera, DVR, NVR or server) to the network. If your configuration does not use fox streaming, this port should be the same as the port used to connect the video device.
To continue configuring a secure connection, confirm the following configuration:
For Foxs Cert, enter the platform/station’s server certificate.
Foxs Cert is the last property in the Settings window.
The tridium certificate is the default, self-signed certificate. For maximum security store a unique server certificate in each controller/station’s User Key Store that was signed by a root CA certificate in the User Trust Store.
