Motorola Avigilon ACC VMA-RPA-4P4 User Manual page 10

Important: The ACC ES Analytics Appliance is configured with a self-signed certificate,
which generates a connection warning in the web browser.
5. Click past any connection messages displayed by the browser. You will see two warning messages
that differ slightly depending on the browser. If the browser is:
Chrome—Click Advanced on the first screen and Proceed to <IP address> (unsafe) on the
l
second screen.
Firefox—Click Advanced on the first screen and Add Exception on the second screen, check
l
Permanently store this exception, and click Confirm Security Exception.
6. You will see a security warning from the browser informing you that the connection between the
Web UI and the device is untrusted because the device is using a self-signed Web Certificate. This is
expected and you can safely ignore the warning and proceed to the ACC ES Admin Web UI.
The level of security provided by the certificates included with the device should be sufficient for
any organization that does not deploy a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) on its internal servers.
Important: For organizations that deploy their own PKI, the device's certificates can be
managed from the ACC ES Admin Web UI after the device is installed and powered. The
default self-signed Web Certificate can be replaced, signed certificates from Certificate
Authorities (CAs) that are not provided with the device can be added, and the signed
certificates from CAs for public servers such as Google Mail that are provided with device
can be disabled. For more information, see
7. When you are prompted by the Web Interface, enter a new password for the administrator username.
The Strength meter measures the complexity of your password: Red is too simple, yellow is
reasonably complex, and green is complex. Complexity measures the difficulty to discover your
password, not how secure your password is. A complex password is recommended.
The page refreshes and you are prompted to log in.
8. Enter administrator as the username and your new password.
The Dashboard panel of the Web Interface is displayed.
9. Set the language for the Web Interface, a user-friendly hostname, and the time zone. In the navigation
sidebar, click Device to open the Device panel . In the:
a. General pane, select the Language from the drop-down.
b. Hostname pane, optionally replace the serial number of the appliance with a descriptive
