     Terminals User Manual     (publication 2711P-UM008).
  • If there is no user account in the
    User Account Manager
     on the
    PanelView Plus 7
     or
    PanelView Plus 6
     terminal, add a user account.
To create an HTTPS binding
  1. Start a web browser and in the browser's
    Address
    bar, enter the following URL, replacing
    computer_name_or_ip_address
     with the hostname or IP address of the
    PanelView Plus 7
     or
    PanelView Plus 6
     terminal:
    http://computer_name_or_ip_address/WebAdmin
  2. In the
    Enter Network Password
     dialog box, enter the user name and password specified in the
    User Account Manager
     dialog box, and press
    OK
    .
  3. On the
    Web Server Configuration
     page, click the
    Modify
    button after
    Default Web site
    .
  4. Click
    Configure the virtual directories on this Web site
    .
  5. On the
    Virtual Directory Configuration
     page:
    • Scroll down to
      /ftvp/
       and click
      Modify
      . On the

       page, in the
      SSL Configuration
       section, select the
