3. Click Create New SSL Key to create both the self-signed certificate
and private key. This may take several minutes to complete.

b. If correct, click "Install Key and Certificate" to install the
self-signed certificate and private key.
Tip: To verify whether the certificate has been installed successfully,
check the data shown in the Active SSL Certificate section.
If incorrect, click "Delete Key and Certificate" to remove the
self-signed certificate and private key, and then repeat the above
steps to re-create them.


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 PX3TS for backup or file transfer. For example, you can install the
files onto a replacement PX3TS 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 PX3TS 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 PX3TS:
1. Choose Device Settings > Security > SSL Certificate.
