After you click Apply in the My Certificate Create screen, you see a screen that tells you the
ZyXEL Device is generating the self-signed certificate or certification request.
After the ZyXEL Device successfully enrolls a certificate or generates a certification request
or a self-signed certificate, you see a screen with a Return button that takes you back to the
My Certificates screen.
If you configured the My Certificate Create screen to have the ZyXEL Device enroll a
certificate and the certificate enrollment is not successful, you see a screen with a Return
button that takes you back to the My Certificate Create screen. Click Return and check your
information in the My Certificate Create screen. Make sure that the certification authority
information is correct and that your Internet connection is working properly if you want the
ZyXEL Device to enroll a certificate online.

11.10 Trusted CAs

Click SECURITY > CERTIFICATES > Trusted CAs to open the Trusted CAs screen. This
screen displays a summary list of certificates of the certification authorities that you have set
the ZyXEL Device to accept as trusted. The ZyXEL Device 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.

the drop-down list box. You must have the certificate already imported in the

Trusted CAs screen.

manage) the ZyXEL Device's list of certificates of trusted certification

authorities.
