Appendix F-Secure Communication Mode

4Click the Send Certificate button to send the certificate to the MCU. The MCU validates the certificate.

—If the certificate is not valid, an error message is displayed.

—If the certificate matches the private key, and the task is completed, a confirmation message indicating that the certificate was created successfully is displayed.

A System Restart is not required at this point.

The certificate expiry date is checked daily. An active alarm is raised two weeks before the certificate is due to expire, stating the number of days to expiry.

If the certificate expires, the MCU continues to work in secure mode and an Active Alarm is raised with Security mode failed – Certificate expired in the description field.

Certificates are deleted when an administrator performs a Restore Factory Defaults with the

Comprehensive Restore option selected.

Creating/Modifying System Flags

The following System Flags in system.cfg control secure communications.

•RMX_MANAGEMENT_SECURITY_PROTOCOL

•EXTERNAL_DB_PORT

Appendix F, “System Flags” , below, lists both flags and their settings.

If the System Flag, RMX_MANAGEMENT_SECURITY_PROTOCOL does not exist in the system, it must be created by using the RMX Setup menu.
