Action
Put 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.
Initiate 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.

anonymous mode, the following string is used as the password
(for logging purposes): admin@hostname/IP.isd.
You may also be prompted for a password phrase (if specified
when creating or exporting the private key)
