using a cryptographic certificate.
It is possible to generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and install
a certificate signed by the Certificate Authority (CA) on the KX II.
a certificate signed by the Certificate Authority (CA) on the KX II.
The CA verifies the identity of the originator of the CSR.
The CA then returns a certificate containing its signature to the originator.
The certificate, bearing the signature of the well-known CA, is used to
vouch for the identity of the presenter of the certificate.

Important: Make sure your KX II date/time is set correctly.
When a self-signed certificate is created, the KX II date and time are
used to calculate the validity period. If the KX II date and time are not
accurate, the certificate's valid from - to date range may be incorrect,
causing certificate validation to fail. See
