Question Answer
Is the communication between Client and
Device encrypted (SSL)?
Yes. When Remote Control Panel is launched from the browser, a new window/tab is
created that uses HTTPS to connect to the Embedded Web Server, regardless if the original
connection was via HTTP or HTTPS. All communication between the remote control panel

What kind of encryption is used for the
communication?
