•You may only have one remote management session running at one time. The NWA1121-NI automatically disconnects a remote management session of lower priority when another remote management session of higher priority starts. The priorities for the different types of remote management sessions are as follows:
1Telnet

Certificate
A certificate contains the certificate owner’s identity and public key. Certificates provide a way to exchange public keys for use in authentication.
Figure 48 Certificates Example
In the figure above, the NWA1121-NI (Z) checks the identity of the notebook (A) using a certificate before granting access to the network.
The certification authority certificate that you can import to your NWA1121-NI should be in PFX PKCS#12 file format. This format referred to as the Personal Information Exchange Syntax Standard is comprised of a private key-public certificate pair that is further encrypted with a password. Before you import a certificate into the NWA1121-NI, you should verify that you have the correct certificate.
Key distribution is simple and very secure since you can freely distribute public keys and you never need to transmit private keys.
