Once you have confirmed the dialogue box with Save, you can download the certificate signing request
(CSR) file from the web access page. You must provide this file to your certification authority. You will
then receive a signed certificate from your certification authority and, where necessary, a certificate
chain (often consisting of intermediate and/or root certificates). You will usually receive these in the
form of .pem- oder .crt files or directly in PEM-encoded text form.
You can now transfer the signed certificate to the device via the Upload certificate dialogue. If you have
received a certificate chain, you can upload it via this dialogue too.
Once you have confirmed the dialogue with Upload, you can continue configuring the types of access.

enter device and operator information, which is then stored on the certificate and can be used clients
later on to verify the certificate.
