19.4 The Trusted CA Screen
Click Security Settings > Certificates > Trusted CA to open the following screen. This screen
displays a summary list of certificates of the certification authorities that you have set the VDSL
Router to accept as trusted. The VDSL Router accepts any valid certificate signed by a certification
authority on this list as being trustworthy; thus you do not need to import any certificate that is
signed by one of these certification authorities.
