LABEL DESCRIPTION
PKI Storage
Space in Use
This bar displays the percentage of the ZyXEL Device’s PKI storage space that is
currently in use. The bar turns from green to red when the maximum is being
approached. When the bar is red, you should consider deleting expired or
unnecessary certificates before adding more certificates.
Replace This button displays when the ZyXEL Device has the factory default certificate.
The factory default certificate is common to all ZyXEL Devices that use
certificates. ZyXEL recommends that you use this button to replace the factory
default certificate with one that uses your ZyXEL Device's MAC address.
# This field displays the certificate index number. The certificates are listed in
alphabetical order.
Name This field displays the name used to identify this certificate. It is recommended that
you give each certificate a unique name.

the My Certificate Import screen to import the certificate and replace the request.

to sign imported trusted remote host certificates.

(Common Name), OU (Organizational Unit or department), O (Organization or
company) and C (Country). It is recommended that each certificate have unique
subject information.
