self-signed certificate and private key.
Tip: To verify whether the certificate has been installed successfully,

self-signed certificate and private key, and then repeat the above


You are prompted to open or save the file. Click Save to save it
onto your computer.
Note: The Download Key button in the Active SSL Certificate section
is for downloading the private key of the currently-installed
certificate rather than the newly-created one.
Installing or Downloading Existing Certificate and Key
You can download the already-installed certificate and private key from
any PX3 for backup or file transfer. For example, you can install the files
onto a replacement PX3 device, add the certificate to your browser and
so on.
If valid certificate and private key files are already available, you can
install them on the PX3 without going through the process of creating a
CSR or a self-signed certificate.
Note: If you are using a certificate that is part of a chain of certificates,
each part of the chain is signed during the validation process.
To download active key and certificate files from the PX3:
1. Choose Device Settings > Security > SSL Certificate.
