Chapter 13 Certificates

Use this screen to look at the certificates of peers that you trust but which are not signed by 
one of the trusted certification authorities (on the Security > Certificates > Trusted CAs 
screen). To open this screen, click Security > Certificates > Trusted Remote Hosts.

You do not need to add any certificate that is signed by one of the trusted certification 
authorities on the Trusted CAs screen since the ZyXEL Device automatically accepts any 
valid certificate signed by a trusted certification authority as being trustworthy.

colleagues or you can copy and paste the certificate into a text editor and save 

the file on a management computer for later distribution (via floppy disk for 

example).
