The certificate you import replaces the corresponding request in the My Certificates screen.

You must remove any spaces from the certificate’s filename before you can import it.

19.5.1 Certificate File Formats

The certification authority certificate that you want to import has to be in one of these file formats:

•Binary X.509: This is an ITU-T recommendation that defines the formats for X.509 certificates.

•PEM (Base-64) encoded X.509: This Privacy Enhanced Mail format uses 64 ASCII characters to convert a binary X.509 certificate into a printable form.

•Binary PKCS#7: This is a standard that defines the general syntax for data (including digital signatures) that may be encrypted. The ZyXEL Device currently allows the importation of a PKS#7 file that contains a single certificate.

•PEM (Base-64) encoded PKCS#7: This Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) format uses 64 ASCII characters to convert a binary PKCS#7 certificate into a printable form.
