AMX Certificate Upload Utility

The Certificate Upload utility gives you the ability to compile a list of target touch panels, select a pre-
obtained certificate (uniquely identifying the panel), and then upload that file to the selected panel.

This application ensures that a unique certificate is securely uploaded to a specific touch panel.
Currently, the target panels must be capable of supporting the WPA-PSK and EAP-XXX wireless
security formats.

Ability to display the IP Address of the local computer hosting the application.

Ability to load a previously created list of target touch panels.

Ability to save the current list of target Modero panel as a file.

Ability to track the progress of the certificate upload by noting the current data size being
transmitted and any associated error messages (if any).
