Reset Certificates

This menu option enables you to clear the certificate sent by the DSView 3 software to the DSR1021/1022 switch.

When a DSR1021/1022 switch is added to a server running DSView 3 software, a certificate automatically downloads from that server to the DSR1021/1022 switch. That certificate is replicated across all servers running DSView 3 software operating in a predefined system. Thereafter, any of the servers in that system will be able to communicate with the DSR1021/1022 switch.
