104Certificates and Client Authentication

Step Action

1Put the certificate file and key file on your TFTP/FTP/SCP/ SFTP server.

Note: You may arrange to include your private key in the certificate file. When the specified certificate file is retrieved from the TFTP/FTP/SCP/SFTP server, the NVG software will analyze the contents and automatically add the private key, if present (the screen output appears "Certificate added" and "Key added" in this case). If the private key is included, you do not have to perform step 5.

2Initiate the process of adding a certificate using TFTP/FTP/SCP/SFTP.

Type the command /cfg/cert and press ENTER. Specify an unused certificate index number, and then type the command import.

Make sure to specify a certificate number not in use by an existing certificate. To view basic information about all configured certificates, use the /info/certs command.
